Overview
Excerpts taken from the journal of George Fox "with the desire from the editor to give a fair representation of his character and his religious views, and to lead the reader to seek a fuller acquaintance with them." Includes a preface featuring the writings of William Penn, a close friend of Fox and perhaps his most influential convert. George Fox is the founder of Society of Friends, colloquially known as the Quakers. He faced tremendous persecution in 17th century England for his strong advocacy of religious freedom and the rights of the individual, elements of his beliefs which would later go on to be quintessential elements of democracy. Brown boards with excellently preserved black stamped borders on front and back cover, gilt title and borders on spine. Minor instances of bumping to fore corners, rubbing at foot and crown of spine. Brown pastedowns, with ink inscription on first endpaper, another ink inscription opposite title page.
