George Fox: The Friends, and the Early Baptists (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from George Fox: The Friends, and the Early Baptists

This work is, it is believed, the first which has definitely and minutely traced the doctrines and constitution of Quakerism mainly to the early Baptists.

The review of the remarkable influence of Fox and the Friends in the various departments of Philanthropy, Social Progress, Political Reform, Literature, Science, and Commercial Enterprise, has also been carried farther into detail than in any other book hitherto issued.

A large number of works and papers have been consulted in the preparation of this Memoir, and have been freely quoted from, with the view of collecting together, in small compass, from widely-scattered sources, a comprehensive and interesting description of the life and influence of George Fox. Some particulars respecting him are here for the first time published. His private and personal characteristics, and the social and general aspect of his times, have received special attention.
