Abstract:An interesting account of William Allen's fascinating life. Over a third of this book is devoted to his Lindfield connections, the cottage allotments scheme on the Gravely's estate and his founding of local schools for the children of agricultural labourers. William Allen's Quakerism influenced everything he did. From humble beginnings he became a member of the Royal Society and the first president of the Phamaceutical Society. He was an educational pioneer, an opponent of the slave trade and a friend of the Emperor of Russia.
