Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nicholas the Weaver and Other Quaker Stories The warm reception which has been given to my former book of Quaker stories has encouraged me to write a fresh series of sketches of life and character among the Society of Friends in its first two centuries. As before, all are more or less founded on fact. The Yorkshire weaver who left the Roundhead army, and threw his uniform on to the bed canopy, is a tradition in my own family, and the little farmers boy who put his spelling-book into the churn, and in maturer years labelled the elderly goose, was my grandfather, although the rest of his life was certainly not that of "Stephen Grey." Some touching Minutes in the ancient records of the Sussex Quarterly Meeting of Friends suggested "Apprenticed by the Meeting" and "Poor Timatha," and in the latter case it seems right that the history of William Tuke´s noble experiment in the humane treatment of the insane should be more widely known than it is. "Transported" is founded on an incident in the life of Elizabeth Dudley, who, when visiting Newgate with Elizabeth Fry, found an old servant of her own among the prisoners.
