Bow in the Cloud : Letter from John Riland to Mary Anne Rawson
Riland, John, 1736-1822
Bow in the Cloud
<p style='text-align: justify;'> Letter from Reverend John Riland (brother of Thomas Gisborne, the MP for Carlow) to Mary Anne Rawson declining to contribute to The Bow in the Cloud. He had published on anti-slavery before, including his influential Memoirs of a West Indies Planter. An interesting letter talking about his issues with the 'evangelical class' and Reform Church and the seriousness of some abolitionists. </p>
