<p class="just">Cowper (pronounced “Cooper”), whose father was chaplain to King George II, went through the motions of becoming an attorney, but never practiced law. He lived near Olney, Buckinghamshire, the namesake town of the <em>Olney Hymns</em>, which he co-wrote with John Newton, author of <a href = "./hymns/hymns_html/htm_a_m_amazgrac.html" >Amazing Grace</a>. Cowper also wrote poetry, including “The Negro’s Complaint,” an anti-slavery work, and the 5,000-line “The Task.”</p>
