The Quakers in New England: An Essay (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Quakers in New England: An EssayNow, it is true, that what is called the offensive speech and behavior of the Quakers was a feature of the contest; but I believe I can show that the Quaker theology is precisely that which the Govern ment of New England most violently opposed; and that their fear of it was the primary cause of the dreadful persecution which followed the advent of the Quakers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
