William Cowper wrote this testimony of his journey to salvation. It covers his childhood school days, his time at St. Alban's, his move to Huntingdon, and finally his move to the Unwin's in 1765. It is a passionate account of William Cowper's thoughts of "self-murder" and also his joy in finding God. The Appendix includes many letters by William Cowper from the years 1765-6, which illustrate his remarkable conversion. An appendix article by Samuel Miller shows that suicide is a sin against God, human nature, our fellow man, and our interests beyond the grave.

William Cowper (1731-1800) was born in Berkhampstead, England. Among his distinguished ancestors, his father was Chaplin to His Majesty George the Second. Mr. Cowper's sensitive soul was an advantage to his poetry, but he also endured much distress. Rev. John Newton, the preacher at Olney, requested that he give himself to hymn writing. He wrote many other poems as well, such as "The Task" and "The Diverting History of John Gilpin."
