EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the late Reverend Jabez Burns, D.D., an influential figure in the 19th century as an active minister of religion and a dedicated advocate for the Temperance or Total Abstinence cause. Burns devoted himself to the editorship of the "Journal of the British and Foreign Temperance Society," and later undertook various other work in periodical literature and platform speaking, all in support of the temperance movement. In 1847, Burns traveled to the United States where he delivered temperance addresses in notable venues such as Faneuil Hall in Boston, New York, and Oberlin. In October 1853, he preached the inaugural sermon, titled "Drinking and Lawlessness," which was widely circulated and printed under that name. Burns visited the major towns and villages of England and Scotland, spreading the principles of the temperance association. The Reverend Jabez Burns, D.D., was a prominent nonconformist, clergyman, and writer. His contributions to the temperance movement left a lasting impact on the religious and social landscape of the 19th century. This photograph, taken in 1876, serves as a poignant reminder of his legacy and the importance of his work. The provenance of this photograph is unknown, but it was published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1876, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical images, particularly those related to religion, temperance, and the 19th century.
