The principles of religion, as professed by the Society of Christians, usually called Quakers / by Henry Tuke.
Published by York: printed by C.Peacock, 1812., for W. Alexander [etc.], 1812
First Edition
Hardcover. 5th edition. xii, [13]-187 p., 1 leaf advts.; 18 cm. [First printed in 1805] Much of Tuke's book `is an admirable account of the characteristic beliefs and ideals of Friends. Tuke honestly believed that his position was point for point the position of the first group of Friends. He can show, he thinks, voluminous passages from their writings to prove that he now holds "the faith once delivered." The fact is, however, that the point of emphasis has entirely altered in Tuke's books, and the whole perspective has changed from that of the seventeenth century.'
