Quaker history and biography

Examines the two largest Quaker communities in the early modern British Atlantic World, and scrutinizes the role of Quaker merchants and the business ethics they followed.

This book explores the Society of Friend's Atlantic presence through its creation and use of networks, including intellectual and theological exchange, and through the movement of people.

Andrew Sowle was a secret printer. He learned his trade during Cromwell’s commonwealth, and practised it under the Stuart restoration. On a hidden press he printed Quaker tracts, illicitly.

This book is about "the meaning of life" or "the spiritual quest". It offers a selective and critical evaluation of some central strands of Western religious and philosophical thought over two and a half thousand years.
