The life of William Kiffin has been said to be ‘stranger than fiction’. Raised a poor orphan, he became one of the wealthiest merchants in the country. A confidant of two monarchs, and a member of parliament, Kiffin was also a pastor and preacher for sixty years. He has been described as a godly man who in days of deep adversity and amazing prosperity, honoured the Lord.
Remarkable passages in the life of William Kiffin is Kiffin’s own account of his life. To this has been added notes by William Orme. This was originally published in 1823 and has now been retypeset.
