Richard Brothers (1757-1824) was the first of eight prophets associated with 'The Visitation', a Christian based millenarianist movement that prophesised and sought to bring about a new Kingdom of God on earth. Brothers was preceded by Joanna Southcott who was well known for her published works on this topic.
Brothers published several works, the most notable of which "A Revealed Knowledge of the Prophecies and Times" was published in two volumes.
