The Great Acceptance: The Life Story of F. N. Charrington
Thorne, Guy
Charrington, Fredk. N. (Frederick Nicholas), 1850-1936; Poor -- England -- London
I wish I could recount the innumerable incidents which have occurred
when great or famous people have visited the hall. It is impossible to
do so, however, for they in themselves would make another book. But,
as showing the extent of the help Mr. Charrington has been able to
command, I will at least give a list of famous names--a list for which
I recently wrote to the secretary of the Mission, Mr. Edwin H.
Kerwin.
Such names as these have a definite weight, which is the sole reason
why I give them.

Duchess of York (now Queen Mary); The Duchess of Bedford,
The Duchess of Sutherland, The Rt. Hon. the Earl of
