Description:
|
The Anglican priest John Newton was a former slave trader turned abolitionist. His poem "Amazing Grace" is possibly the most famous hymn ever written and is indelibly associated with the anti-slavery movement. It was published for the first time in Olney Hymns, of which this copy is a rare first edition.
