A Bible Society was set up in Nuremberg to which money was granted by the parent organisation.

A Bible in the Welsh language was circulated broadcast through the Principality, and so the movement grew.

From the first it had one of its principal centres in Norwich, where Joseph John Gurney's house was open to its committee, and at its annual gatherings at Earlham his sister Elizabeth Fry took a leading part, while Wilberforce, Charles Simeon, the famous preacher, and Legh Richmond, whose _Dairyman's Daughter_ Borrow failed to appreciate, were of the company.

'Uncles Buxton and Cunningham are here,' we find one of Joseph John Gurney's daughters writing in describing a Bible Society gathering.

This was John Cunningham, rector of Harrow, and it was his brother who helped Borrow to his position in connection with the Society, as we shall see.
