JOHN STEPHENSON HIS LIFE AND WORK MEMOIR BY PHEBE DONCASTER LONDON: HEADLEY BROTHERS HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY GIFT OF HAVERFORD COLLEGE LIBRARY HEADLEY BROTHERS, PRINTERS, LONDON; AND ASHFORD, KENT. E PREFATORY NOTE. THE lectures and articles printed in this volume were not prepared by the author with any thought of their being re-issued in collected form. As they relate mainly to one leading subject -the history and distinguishing beliefs of the Society of Friends -some overlapping is inevitable. Any considerable omissions from the text, chiefly made to minimise this overlapping, are marked by asterisks. Notes not by the author are signed by the Editor, Ernest E. Taylor. Norman Penney, Librarian of Friends' Reference Library, Devonshire House, London, E.C., has given great assistance, especially in referring to original authorities. The Editors of The Friend and of the Friends' Quarterly Examiner have kindly allowed the use of articles originally contributed to their periodicals. |
