""George Fox: An Autobiography"" is a book written by Rufus M. Jones that chronicles the life of George Fox, the founder of the Quaker movement. The book is based on Fox's own writings, including his journal, letters, and other documents, and provides a detailed account of his life from his early years to his death. The book begins with Fox's childhood in England, where he grew up in a time of political and religious upheaval. As a young man, he became disillusioned with the established church and began searching for spiritual truth. He eventually had a transformative experience that led him to start preaching and gathering followers who became known as the Society of Friends, or Quakers. The book covers Fox's travels throughout England and abroad, his encounters with other religious leaders and authorities, and his experiences of persecution and imprisonment. It also delves into Fox's theological beliefs, including his rejection of formal religious ceremonies and his emphasis on the inner light of God within each individual. Throughout the book, Jones provides commentary and analysis of Fox's life and teachings, as well as the historical context in which he lived. The book is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of the Quaker movement and the life of one of its most influential figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

It {G eorge Fox sJ ournal) is one of the most extraordinary and instructive narratives in the world; which no reader of competent judgment can peruse without revering the virtue of the writer. Sib James Mackintosh. The basis of his [O eorge Fox s] teaching was the belief that each soul is in religious matters answerable not to its fellows, but toG od alone, without priestly mediation, because the Holy Spirit is immediately present in every soul and is thus a direct cause of illumination. From this central belief flowed two important practical consequences, both essentially modem; one was complete toleration, the other was complete equality of human beings before the law. John Fiske. To sum up in fewest possible words the impression made by his IG eorge Fox s] words and works upon one who studies them across the level of two centuries: he was a man of lion-like courage and adamantine strength of will, absolutely truthful, devoted to the fulfillment of what he believed to be his God-appointed mission, and without any of those side-long looks at worldly promotion and aggrandizement which many sincere leaders of church parlies have cast at intervals of their journey. Thomas Hodgkin.
