Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Quaker Post-Bag: Letters to Sir John Rodes of Barlbrough Hall, in the County of Derby, Baronet, and to John Gratton of Monyash, 1693-1742 These letters have lain at Barlbrough in Derbyshire for more than two hundred years, and are now printed for the first time for any one who may care to read them, with such thoughts over a buried past as he may be able to muster. It is with some reluctance that their present owner has taken the letters out of the carved chestnut boxes, where they have so long rested, enjoying a Silence, and bathed with a Stillness, beyond any Quakers´ meetinghouse; unaltered by the slow passage of time, save in an increasing dimness of the careful handwriting. If any one bluntly asks, what can such artless, courageous Piety have to say to an Age like ours, there is really no need to hammer out an answer, for is not this too a fleeting Age, bound to disappear like every other? May not therefore the lady responsible for publication be content to shelter herself behind the venerable excuse "the request of Friends, both inside and out of the Quaker profession."
