Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Peculium; An Endeavor to Throw Light on Some of the Causes of the Decline of the Society of Friends: Especially in Regard to Its Original Claim of Being the Peculiar People of God A few sentences only are needful to explain the origin of the accompanying Essay. In the month of March, 1858, there appeared in the public prints the following announcement: - Society Of Friends. - Prize Essay. A Gentleman who laments that, notwithstanding the population of the United Kingdom has more than doubled itself in the last fifty years, the Society of Friends is less in number than at the beginning of the century; and who believes that the Society at one time bore a powerful witness to the world concerning some of the errors to which it is most prone, and some of the truths which are the most necessary to it; and that this witness has been gradually becoming more and more feeble, is anxious to obtain light respecting the causes of this change. He offers a Prize of One Hundred Guineas for the best Essay that shall be written on the subject, and a Prize of Fifty Guineas for the one next in merit. He has asked three gentlemen, not members of the Society of Friends, to pronounce judgment on the Essays which shall be sent to them.
