Description :
Sydney G. Fisher describes the arrival and settlement of the Quaker
denomination in colonial North America during the 17th and 18th centuries.
The initial chapter of Fisher's work is enmeshed with the establishment of the
Quaker movement within the United Kingdom. Formed in opposition to the
Puritan ideas, Quakerism formed in the wake of the chaos of the English Civil
War. At the same time, colonists were encouraged to travel to North America,
that Britain's holdings be expanded and the new continent's wealth be enjoyed
by the settlers and the wider Empire. Second only to the Puritans in number,
many Quakers departed England after suffering persecution - eager for a fresh
start, thousands acted to bolster the settlements of Philadelphia, New Jersey
and smaller towns on the Delaware river. They became traders and planters,
and the presence of the Society of Friends in these cities is clear to behold to
this day. The cover photograph of this edition is of a Quaker almshouse in
Philadelphia, built in 1713.
