Life

Born 19 December 1812 at Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire, he was son of Edward Mills and his wife Mary. Concentrating on music, he travelled through the country, establishing musical societies. In 1846 he went to London to act as a missionary to the Jews on behalf of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists. In 1855 and 1859 he visited Palestine, in order to better equip himself for this work. He was a member of many learned societies connected with biblical and oriental studies. He died in London, 28 July 1873.
