Excerpt from A Portraiture of Quakerism, Vol. 1: Taken From a View of the Education and Discipline, Social Manners, Civil and Political Economy, Religious Principles and Character, of the Society of Friends Nor was I without the belief, that such a history might afl'ord entertainment to many. The Quakers; as every body knows, differ more than even many fo reigners do, from their own countrymen. They adopt a singular mode Of language. Their domestic customs are peculiar. They have renounced religious ceremonies, which all other Christians, in some form or other, have retained. They are distinguished from all the other islanders by their dress. These differ caces are great and striking. And I thought therefore that those, who were ounous in the developement of character, might be gratified in knowing the princi ples, which produced such numerous exceptions from the general practices of the world.

Excerpt from A Portraiture of Quakerism, Vol. 1: Taken From a View of the Moral Education, Discipline, Social Manners, Civil and Political Economy, Religious Principles and Character, of the Society of Friends From the year 1787, when I began to devote my labours to the abolition Of the slave trade, I was thrown frequently into the company Of the people, called Quakers. These people had been then long unanimous upon this subject. Indeed they had p1ac ed it among the articles Of their religious discipline. Their houses were of course open to me in all parts of the kingdom. Hence I came to a knowledge of. Their living manners, which no other person, who was not a Quaker, could have easily obtained.

These people had been then long unanimous upon this subject. Indeed, they had placed it among the articles of their religious discipline. Their houses were of course open to me in all parts of the kingdom. Hence I came to a knowledge of their living manners, which no other person, who was not a Quaker, could have easily obtained. As soon as I became possessed of this knowledge, or at least of so much of it as to feel that it was considerable, I conceived a desire of writing their moral history.
