Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Religious Society of Friends, From Its Rise to the Year 1828, Vol. 1 of 4
In the prosecution of this work I have freely availed myself of the information contained in the histories of Sewel and Gough, and in Bowden's History of Friends in America; yet in most cases I have been able to find the same matter in works of a prior date, and have usually given the preference to the earliest authentic accounts within my reach.
I desire to express my acknowledgments to the Friends who have kindly furnished me with a large number of old and rare books that have been consulted in the preparation of this volume; but more especially are my grateful acknowledgments due to that Almighty Being whose providential care and pre serving grace have sustained me while thus engaged, and if any good shall accrue from my labors, to Him alone be the praise.
