Parker was the important abolitionist. Unitarian minister from Boston, one of the silent supporters of abolitionist John Brown.
Leighton sought "to bring together, in a convenient form, some of the familiar lessons with which his (Parker's) sermons abound, drawn from the world of matter and the nature and experience of man, from past history and passing events." This includes thought on a wide range of issues.
