Click images to enlarge Description THE BEGINNINGS OF QUAKERISMby the late William C. BraithwaiteSecond edition revised by Henry J. CadburyFirst published 1912.This edition published William Sessions Ltd, York, 1970.Hardback in dustjacket.608 pages including Appendices and Index. 3 fold-out maps to back.This is a standard work, from the original sources, of the early history of Quakerism, founded in England at the time of the Puritan revolution, and the struggle for religious liberty. It is in part an account of its founder, George Fox, son of a weaver and apprentice to a shoemaker, whose learning extended little further than the pages of the Bible, but whose complete possession by this fresh truth transcended limitations of birth, health, education or occupation. It is also the account of Fox's disciples: James Naylor, William Dewsbury, Richard Farnsworth, Margaret Fell, and others who carried the word on as the movement gained force - of their conversion, their strength of conviction, and the punishments they were frequently forced to endure by those whom their faith outraged.Good+ condition in worn/torn dustjacket; previous owner's stamp to endpaper.
