Unknown artist
Thomas Raffles’ <i>Memoirs of the Life and Ministry of the Late Reverend Thomas Spencer of Liverpool</i> was published by Everard Peck in 1815. Attachments include: an Appendix of Thomas Spencer’s papers, a poem about his death by James Montgomery, and a reflection on mortality by Reverend Charles Buck. Spencer drowned on August 5th, 1811 at 20 years of age. Starting at 16 years of age he began preaching, and became immensely popular in the Liverpool area. His skill at preaching and the accompanying popularity explains his memorialization at such a young age.
