He spent twenty five years researching and writing this volume, originally writing it in Pennsylvania Dutch before translating it into English. The Quakers, better known as the Religious of Society of Friends, is a religious denomination that initially shocked others with its allowance of women to speak up in worship and their lack of requirement to refer to leaders under specific titles. The religious society still exists today, with its largest numbers coming from the continent of Africa. A great addition to the personal collection of anyone wanting to learn more about Quakerism and its evolution since its beginning until the late eighteenth century. Any issues with hinges or binding due to age or wear could provide an excellent opportunity for restoration or rebinding, if desired. RAREA1774CJKBJR1082
