	History, Acts of the Anti-Slavery Apostles (1883), by Rev. Parker Pillsbury, Abolitionist Activist
		John Randolph had not yet told him and Webster and Clay that "the Greeks were at their own doors."
		We saw John Summerville, the minister who obtained their signatures.

	The Legacy of John Kenneth Galbraith

		Parker shows how Galbraith, from his early championing of Keynesian economics to his acerbic analysis of America's "private wealth and public squalor," regularly challenged prevailing theories and policies.

		Richard Parker's comprehensive biography arrives at an appropriate time; many of the basic assumptions of orthodox economic theory that Galbraith challenged for much of his career are now being questioned within the orthodox tradition itself.

		But when they demanded that those in bonds in their own country should be remembered even "as bound with them," they were repulsed as disorderly, contumacious disturbers of the peace of the church and its minister, who, at that time, was among the most virulent opposers of the whole anti-slavery enterprise.
