GEORGE, one of the founders of the London Missionary Society, was born in 1752. He was for twenty years minister of the West Orchard Chapel at Coventry. At the end of this period he removed to London, where for twenty-nine years he officiated at the Fetter Lane Chapel. For many years he performed gratuitously the duties of secretary to the London Missionary Society, and edited with much success the Evangelical Magazine. He is chiefly remembered now as the author of the Village Sermons, which appeared at intervals from 1799 to 1812, and were at last completed in six volumes. He edited many works, and among them the Pilgrim's Progress; Collin's Weaver's Pocket-Book, or Weaving Spiritualized; and Henry's Bible with Improvements. He died at London in 1832 in the eightieth year of his age.
