Recollections of a Long Life
Transcribed from the 1894 Hodder and Stoughton edition by David Price
"Recollections of a Long Life" by John Stoughton is a memoir written in the late 19th century. This reflective work chronicles Stoughton's personal experiences, intertwining anecdotes from his life with insights into religious history and the people he encountered throughout his long ministry. The narrative offers a glimpse into a past rich with social and religious change, providing readers a window into the evolution of community and belief during a transformative time. The opening of the text introduces us to Stoughton’s early life, detailing his birth in Norwich in 1807, his family background, and his formative influences. His father, a principled lawyer, and his mother, a Quaker turned Methodist, shaped Stoughton’s values and interests. As he reflects on his childhood, he shares vivid memories of local events, his education, and the sense of excitement surrounding significant public happenings. From his first encounters with the sea to the societal climate following historical events like the battle of Waterloo, his early years are depicted with an evocative sense of nostalgia, setting the stage for a life spent deeply engaged in religious ministry and public discourse.
