William White (1748-1836) was born and educated in Philadelphia, and served as Rector of Christ Church and St. Peter's Church for 57 years. He also served as Chaplain of the Continental Congress, Chaplain of the Senate, the first presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church of the United States, and a long-time trustee for the University of Pennsylvania.

This text is a collection of additions Reverend White wrote for sermons delivered to "the Advancement Society & the Theological Seminary & Orphan School & H [House] of Refuge." The Advancement Society was a missionary organization, and the House of Refuge was an alternative to prison, meant to reform "juvenille delinquents."
