This book is about the Wesleyan Methodist educational efforts of the Victorian era. It discusses the influence of Dr James Harrison Rigg, Principal of Westminster Training College, who dominated his church and who made friendships with senior politicians of the day. The book also analyses the influence of anti-Catholicism which was rampant in the Methodist church in the nineteenth century.
