A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Fox is a subject of interest, not only to the devout Christian, but to the student of general history. To the former, he appears as an instructive example of the inward or spiritual life; to the latter, as one of the most efficient instruments in the cause of religious and civil liberty. The signal changes which have been wrought during the last two centuries, in the opinions, laws, and institutions of Christendom, are to be attributed less to the labours of enlightened statesmen and jurists, than to the teaching and example of those religious reformers who became the instruments in the Divine hand to dispel the clouds of superstition, and shake the foundations of despotism both in church and state. A mong these, the subject of this work is entitled to hold a conspicuous rank. It was remarked of him by a distinguished American statesman, that George Fox alone has, without human learning, done more towards the restoration of real, primitive, unadulterated Christianity, and the extirpation of priestcraft, superstition, and ridiculous, unavailing rites and ceremonies, than any other reformer in Protestant Christendom has with it. In offering to the public this biography of that great and good man, I would by no means discourage the perusal of his excellent Journal, of which it has been said by Sir James Mackintosh, that Gov. Livingston. See A m. Museum, VIII. 255, December,
