The Life, Character, And Literary Labours, Of Samuel Drew, By His Eldest Son J.H. Drew. With Appendix by Jacob Halls Drew. This opening portion presents Samuel Drew as the central figure in a four?part life written by his eldest son, framing biography as a moral and practical guide. It situates Drew’s early years in late 18th?century Cornwall—St. Austell and surrounding towns—within a poor, industrious, religious community sparked by a Methodist revival. The narrative traces family life, education, and a shift from buddle?boy and shoemaker’s apprentice to an independent craftsman and aspiring author, highlighting the harmony and tension between faith and intellect, Providence guiding a life, and the role of self?education in forming character. Central turning points include the death of his mother, apprenticeship trials, religious awakening under Adam Clarke, conversion to Methodism, early writings, and a 1791 marriage to Honour Halls. The prose blends anecdote, moral reflection, and religious interpretation, foreshadowing Drew’s future public life as preacher and author.
