Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Society of Friends, Vol. 1: Compiled From Its Standard Records, and Other Authentic Sources Although Friends have many ably written Records of the rise and progress of their Society, yet they are, as is well known, in a great measure unadapted to general reading, either from their quaintness, or their verbosity of style. This readily accounts for the acknowledged ignorance of the Society, as to its history, and especially the youth, who deem it a severe task, instead of a pleasure, to ponder over its pages, where they might with advantage reflect on the character and lives of those men, who, though they did not dazzle the eyes of mankind with any brilliant schemes of worldly ambition, ennobled themselves and the human family, by raising and supporting the standard of Christ within, as the bulwark of pure religion. After some reflection, I have been induced to suppose that vast benefit would accrue to the Society, if a compendious and modern history of it were published; incited by this consideration, I was not discouraged by the prospect of the laborious undertaking, from engaging, during the hours of relaxation from an arduous profession, in the task of collecting and digesting the materials necessary for such a work. The authorities and works from which I have selected the matter for this Book, are those of the standard historians and primitive members of the Society.
