John Minter Morgan

His first book, published in 1819, entitled Remarks on the Practicability of Mr. Owen's Plan to improve the Condition of the Lower Classes, was dedicated to William Wilberforce, but met with slight acknowledgement.

In aid of his benevolent schemes he printed Pestalozzi's Letters on Early Education, with a Memoir of the Author in 1827 ; Hannah More's Essay on St. Paul 2 vols.

He also edited in 1849 a translation of an essay entitled Extinction du Paupérisme written by Napoleon III, and in 1851 The Triumph, or the Coming of Age of Christianity ; Selections on the Necessity of Early and Consistent Training no less than Teaching.

Near his own residence on Ham Common he founded in 1849 the National Orphan Home, to which he admitted children left destitute by the ravages of the cholera.

He died at 12 Stratton Street, Piccadilly, London, on 26 December 1854, and was buried at St Andrew's Church on Ham Common on 3 January 1855.
