Excerpt from Quakerism, Past and Present: An Inquiry Into the Causes of Its Decline in Great Britain and Ireland
It was an age of deep earnestness. Frivolous and luxurious men had for a while retreated to make way for impassioned and high wrought spirits; for the interpreters at once of the ancient revela tions, and of the present judgments of Heaven; for the monitors of an ungodly world, and for the comforters of those who bent beneath the weight of national and domestic calamities. -sm james stephen.
