 John Brown
John's father was staunchly anti-slavery and was a voluntary agent for the Underground Railroad.
Prominent and influential editors, accustomed to deal with politicians, men of an infinitely lower grade, say, in their ignorance, that he acted "on the principle of revenge." They do not know the man. They must enlarge themselves to conceive of him.
They have got to conceive of a man of faith and of religious principle, and not a politician or an Indian; of a man who did not wait till he was personally interfered with or thwarted in some harmless business before he gave his life to the cause of the oppressed.

In the first pages of this novel we're introduced to an England of the early 19th Century, where though mostly the same as our own England, scholar magicians spend their evenings in the polite company of fellow gentlemen musing on the facts, though rarely the implications of the historical practice of magic on the isle.
This status quo of scholarly men discussing scholarly things, but declining to actually experiment with their particular area of expertise is soon disturbed by a young upstart known as John Segundus.
There is not a servant, politician, soldier, magician, or vagabond that isn't treated as a full individual and graced with quirks and idiosyncrasies unique to them.

 Francis Bacon [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Indeed, while Bacon was preaching progress and declaring a brave new dawn of scientific advance, many of his colleagues were persuaded that the world was at best creaking along towards a state of senile immobility and eventual darkness.
Every investigator knows how easy it is to become wrapped up in data — with the unhappy result that one’s intended ascent up the Baconian ladder gets stuck in mundane matters of fact and never quite gets off the ground.
In fact, other than Tycho Brahe, the Danish astronomer who, overseeing a team of assistants, faithfully observed and then painstakingly recorded entire volumes of astronomical data in tidy, systematically arranged tables, it is doubtful that there is another major figure in the history of science who can be legitimately termed an authentic, true-blooded Baconian.
