''A Memoir of Edward Alexander'' is a biographical account of the life of Edward Alexander, written by himself and published posthumously in 1849. The book includes a testimony from the Monthly Meeting of Limerick, which sheds light on Alexander’s character and contributions to society, as well as extracts from his diary. The memoir covers Alexander’s early life, his Quaker faith, and his work as a teacher and philanthropist. He was known for his dedication to education and social justice, and the book highlights his efforts to improve the lives of those around him. Throughout the memoir, Alexander reflects on his personal experiences and the events of his time, including the Irish Famine and the abolition of slavery. He also discusses his relationships with family and friends, and his own struggles with illness and mortality. Overall, ''A Memoir of Edward Alexander'' provides a unique perspective on the life of a Quaker activist and educator in 19th century Ireland, and offers insight into the values and beliefs that guided his actions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
