Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hat Crusade, Vol. 3
Several slight errors in this volume have escaped detection until after printing. On p. 55, half way down, read 1896, instead of 1897. For Sismundi, in two places (pp. 140 and read Sismondi. On p. 165, for Mostyn, read Moslyn. One mistake of more con sequence occurs on p. 117, half way down, where, for in this century, read in this generation. Some will probably have wondered why the first volume of The Hat Crusade has been charged twice as much as the second. The fact is that the labour involved in its production fully justified a charge of 55. Whereas the subsequent volumes have been produced at a considerably less cost, though equal if not superior in workmanship. Now, however, that the three volumes are completed, it seems advisable to make them a uniform price; and therefore from this date Vol. I will be 25 6d., instead of 5s. As heretofore.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book brings together three volumes written by three iconoclasts who defied outdated traditions and limitations of their day. At the heart of this defiance was the refusal to remove their hats in places of worship. The hat, for these men, was a powerful metaphor for freedom of conscience, especially in the late 19th century when societal rules were strictly enforced. Their actions, deemed rebellious by some, brought them into conflict with the Society of Friends (Quakers), and ultimately led to their expulsion. Yet, the author shows how the three men's ejection from the society actually highlights the origins of Quakerism and its principles of social change and equality. This book is a fascinating insight into a period of great social and religious upheaval, and shows how the courage of a few can challenge the status quo and inspire others to do the same. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282004354_0
