The young lady's counsellor

Daniel Wise (1813-1898) was an English-American Methodist Episcopal clerical author. Originally hailing from Portsmouth, England, he immigrated to the United States in 1833. He would become a pastor in 1837, a role he remained in until 1852. He would then work as an editor of Zion's Herald and Wesleyan Journal (later known as The Progressive Christian), between 1852-1856. He later worked as the corresponding secretary of the Sunday School Union and Tract Society of his church between 1856-1872.
