John Philip (1775-1851) supervised the activities of the London Missionary Society in South Africa. He traveled widely and advocated for the better treatment of both indigenous South Africans and settlers. In this work, "he exposed the various abuses perpetrated in Cape Colony and expounded the benefits of missions...he was able to persuade the colonial secretary, Sir George Murray, to remove all civil disabilities on 'free persons of colour' at the Cape, and indeed throughout the British empire...[he] was fêted as a hero by the [Khnoekhnoen], but vilified by the settlers and officials" (ODNB).
