Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Quakers in Great Britain and America, Vol. 1 of 2: The Religious and Political History of the Society of Friends From the Seventeenth to the Twentieth Century There is a dearth of purely historical works written during the period of the early Quaker activities in the Seventeenth Century, or from 1645 to 1700, though there are seemingly endless pamphlets and papers relating to the purely doctrinal, religious, or controversial side of Quakerism. This being the case, the modern historian or student draws much of his authentic information from such sources as the Journal of George Fox, Sewell, the Dutch historian of the Quakers, Bowden, Besse, Bishop´s "New England Judged," a few others, and the vagrant historical data obtained from monographs, pamphlets, letters, records of meetings, etc., collected by indefatigable workers in Devon-shire House, London, and the various Historical Societies of Friends, and by college and private libraries in both countries. There are a number of eminent modern works devoted to various periods and phases of Quakerism, its distinguished men and women, the philosophy and mysticism of the subject, and its various religious phases and controversial episodes, all appealing to the student or historian or the reader of history. But neither in England nor America have I found a popularly written, well illustrated, condensed history of Quakerism as a whole, from the birth of George Fox to approximately 1913, in one volume. It is this desideratum that I have attempted, or hoped in some measure to supply. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
