Marbled endpapers and matching page edges. Hope against hope and ask till ye receive. - The World before the Flood canto V James Montgomery November 4 1771 - April 30 1854 was a British editor and poet. Son of a pastor and missionary of the Moravian Brethren was born at Irvine in AyrshireNovember 4 1771 and educated at the Moravian School at Fulneck near Pudsey in Leeds. After various changes of occupation and abode he settled in Sheffield in March 1792 as clerk to Joseph Gales on the 'Sheffield Register' newspaper. On July 4th 1794 he launched and edited the Sheffield Iris and was twice imprisoned in 1795 and again in 1796 for political articles for which he was held responsible. In 1797 he published Prison Amusements; but his first work to attract notice was The Wanderer of Switzerland 1806. It was followed by The West Indies 1809 The World before the Flood 1812 Greenland 1819 and The Pelican Island 1828 all of which contain passages of considerable imaginative and descriptive power but according to literary analysts are lacking in strength and fire. He himself expected that his name would live if at all in his hymns and in this his judgment has proved true. Some of these such as "For ever with the Lord" "Hail to the Lord's Anointed" "Angels from the Realms of Glory and "Prayer is the Soul's Sincere Desire" are sung wherever the English language is spoken. Probably his best-known poems are the one commemorating Arnold Winkelried 1 and "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief". Montgomery was a good and philanthropic man the opponent of every form of injustice and oppression and the friend of every movement for the welfare of the race.
