Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

1770 yw'r flwyddyn bresennol. Dywed y doethion fod rhyfel ar y ffordd. Beth fydd hanes George Whitefield yn hanes caethwasiaeth? Beirniadodd y driniaeth greulon yr oedd caethweision yn ei ddioddef. Pan sefydlodd gartref plant amddifad ar gyrion Savannah, sicrhaodd y byddai plant o dras Affricanaidd yn cael eu croesawu a'u haddysgu yno. Ond eto daeth i wrthwynebu gwaharddiad Georgia ar gaethwasiaeth.
