About the author

He was an English Unitarian divine and author, born in 1791 at Dudley, Worcestershire. Early in life he was sometimes known as Robert William Wallace, and he later became known for his writing on Unitarian and Antitrinitarian history.

His best-known book is Antitrinitarian Biography, a large biographical and historical study of prominent Antitrinitarian figures across Europe. That work helped preserve the stories of religious dissenters and shows the breadth of his reading and commitment to liberal Christian scholarship.

Sources I found identify him as dying in 1850, not 1858, so the date in the name you provided may be mistaken. I wasn't able to confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages available during this search.
