""Essay On The Society Of Friends"" is a thought-provoking inquiry into the reasons behind the dwindling influence and membership of the Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. Written by Samuel Fothergill, a prominent Quaker minister and author, the book offers a critical analysis of the factors that have contributed to the decline of the Quaker community. Fothergill begins by examining the history and principles of the Quaker faith, tracing its origins to the 17th century and highlighting its commitment to simplicity, equality, and nonviolence. He then explores the challenges that the Quaker community has faced over the years, including persecution, internal divisions, and changing social and cultural norms. Throughout the book, Fothergill argues that the decline of the Quaker community is not simply a result of external factors, but also reflects internal weaknesses and shortcomings. He suggests that Quakers have become too inward-looking and insular, and that they have lost touch with the wider world and the pressing social issues of the day. Despite its critical tone, ""Essay On The Society Of Friends"" is ultimately a hopeful and constructive work, offering practical suggestions for how Quakers can revitalize their community and regain their influence in the world. Written with clarity, insight, and compassion, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and future of the Quaker faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
