Francis Alison -- if we are to trust the judgment of his colonial contemporaries -- was one of the outstanding religious and educational figures in America. President Ezra Stiles of Yale University called him "the greatest Classical Scholar in America" who (according to another writer) had "the honor of being among the first that introduced science into this heretofore untutored wilderness." The president of what is now the University of Pennsylvania called him "a burning and a shining light, and one of the brightest luminaries that ever shone on this western world." Even though he was lauded by his contemporaries, he has been largely neglected by the modern world. FrancisAlison.org seeks to restore him to his rightful place in American History.
