#142255 - Another preacher man !
Responding to: ???'s previous message
A Tuesday afternoon diversion
http://www.chem.yale.edu/~chem125/...nshaw.html

His place of birth, Sheffield is around 35 miles from here.

From his obituary

"As a preacher, a scholar, a mathematician, a controversialist, an educationist, a philanthropist, and a simple-hearted Christian gentleman, he was alike conspicuous. Notwithstanding a somewhat stern and forbidding exterior, his was one of the gentlest hearts that ever beat... Pride and ambition were absolutely wanting. "I never had the slightest spark of ambition," he once remarked, "All my good fortune came to me. I never sought it except by hard work."

I don't think you can say fairer than that.
