About the author
Thomas Guthrie (1803–1873) was a Scottish minister and social reformer. He devoted himself to the causes of education for the poor and temperance, and founded ragged schools that offered poor children access to schooling, exerting a certain influence on social reform in nineteenth-century Scotland. The library holds one work by him, The Angels' Song, which reflects his background in religious writing, combining themes of faith with exhortation addressed to ordinary readers in plain, morally earnest prose. Because public information is limited, further details of his life and other works cannot be described here; readers may understand the context and aims of this work in light of his role as a minister and his reform activities.
