Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Friends Historical Society of Philadelphia We should wish also to stimulate in the minds of the readers a knowledge of the importance of historical facts to coming generations; to induce Clerks of Meetings to write their minutes in such a way as will convey an intelligible idea of the subject under consideration; to prevent the destruction of old letters because they seem to the destroyer worthless. We should like also to encourage pilgrimages to historical centers, of which we have around Philadelphia a number whose interest and suggestiveness are very great. We should wish to cooperate with the Friend´s Historical Society whose headquarters are in London, with the Pennyslvania Historical Society and with other historically inclined societies and individuals - not in a spirit of competition or rivalry, but to supplement their work. We feel that there are a number of sources open to us which might be closed to them, and it will be our endeavor, in a spirit of cooperation, to increase the general interest in and the profit of Quaker historical research. For these purposes we invite the aid of many Friends. We should be glad to have our numbers swollen to a thousand or more. This would give us a fund which would enable us to procure an office and rooms in which we could keep our collections, and a paid secretary who would care for them, would visit various centers to advance our work, would edit our publications, receive financial and literary contributions, and be in general an efficient agent for the Society, always on hand and always interested. In this way the work would be prosecuted much more vigorously than at present. Indeed, it is the only way to create an efficient Society. We print in this number the constitution and by-laws of the Society, with a list of its officers and members, and if these commend themselves to those who are not now members, we should be glad to have their names presented to an early meeting of the Council. All such communications should be sent to Albert T. Bell., Atlantic City, N. J. Our publications are sent free to all members of the Society.
