Frederick Storrs Turner (31 May 1834[1] – 26 May 1916)[2] was a British clergyman and campaigner against the opium trade.
Frederick Storrs Turner was born in Stepney, London,[3] the son of clerk Benjamin Bockett Turner of Bow, London and Elizabeth Maria Storrs of Edinburgh.
Although he was a nonconformist, he was not a Quaker like many other anti-opium activists,[6] and as part of his missionary work spent some years living in China with his family.
He also edited and published the regular SSOT newsletter, Friends of China.
[8] Turner also published a number of other essays and monographs opposing the opium trade, including British opium policy and its results to India and China, Reply to the Defence of the Opium Trade by the Shanghai Correspondent of the Times, as well as works on Christianity (such as The Quakers: A Study, Historical and Critical... and The Certainty of Religion).
