He was trained for the Independent ministry, but seceded to the Unitarians, and subsequently established himself as a preacher of pronounced rationalism at South Place, Finsbury. As a supporter of the Anti-Corn-Law movement he won celebrity as an impassioned orator, and from 1847 to 1863 represented Oldham in Parliament. He was editor of the Monthly Repository, and a frequent contributor to the Westminster Review, and published various works on political and religious topics.
