GB 0096 AL233 1851 fonds 1 sheet Morgan , John Minter , 1782-1854 , educationist and socialist

John Minter Morgan was born in Westminster in 1782. Little is known about his early life until aged 25 he inherited a fortune in land, business and investments; thereafter he devoted his life and much of his wealth to the cause of co-operativism and Christian socialism. His London salon became a leading intellectual centre and, with his diplomatic skills, he succeeded in forging working alliances with both religious-minded and secular socialists. He also campaigned for free universal education.
