Quaker history and biography

Writings from the major voices of the Quaker movement from the 18th to the 20th centuries.

Edmund Rack, a Quaker, moved to Bath from rural Essex in 1775. He seems to have been self-confident, popular, charitable, and steadfast in his Quaker principles, a figure from Bath’s past it would have been good to know.

This is memoir of the first twenty-five years of long life, blending a picture of a time long ago with the story of a thoughtful child growing up to face adulthood in a very different world.

Based on extensive original records, this book looks at the part played by Plymouth Quakers in the life of the town and in the Society of Friends regionally.
