"In 1827 Walker joined the Society of Friends, his diaries contain extracts of his remarkable journeys with James Backhouse, visiting the convict settlements in Van Dieman's Land, South Wales (including, at that time, Moreton Bay), and Norfolk Island. His wife was a member of Lady Franklin's committee to visit the female prisoners. In 1843 he was appointed to a board of inquiry into conditions at the Female Factory, built by Lieutenant-Governor Arthur in 1827 in accord with Elizabeth Fry's recommendations. Worried over the growing number of prostitutes, he formed a committee to 'suppress vice' by finding employment for destitute women. In 1848 Lieutenant-Governor Denison asked him to share in the task of providing an asylum for these women, and noted in his journal: 'the very personification of a mild, benevolent, and excellent Quaker' A respected founder with Backhouse of the Society of Friends in Hobart, Walker was always ready to plead for any convict under punishment by solitary confinement or treadmill for refusing in Quaker custom to remove his hat in respect to authority, to explain to judges the Quaker aversion to oaths, or to reason against state aid to religion. Although unable to repeat his missionary journeys, he managed to visit Friends around the island and encouraged others to travel 'in the ministry' to help new Meetings on the mainland". - Australian Dictionary of Biography.

Released duplicate from the Historical Society of Pennsylvania's Gilpin Library. Greatly expanded from the first edition. Some copies of the 3rd edition contain a frontis, but it apparently was not issued with the second. Charles Leslie was a celebrated non-juring divine. He distinguished himself in public religious controversy. When Ireland became disturbed in 1689, Leslie removed with his family to England, where he employed himself in writing political pamphlets (opposed to the existing government but zealous in support of the Church of England). About this time he entered into a controversy with the Quakers, said to have arisen from the circumstance of his lodging with a family of that persuasion. This family he converted. This is the first of the several treatises which he wrote against the Quakers. It was answered by George Whithead in a pamphlet entitled, "An Antidote to the Snake in the Grass." In this important Second Edition Mr. Leslie noticed this answer; but he was again assailed in a production called, 'Satan Dissolved from his Disguises of Light' which also appeared in 1696. To this, and several other attacks, Mr Leslie replied at great length in "A Defence of a book entitled the Snake in the Grass." This again provoked a host of answers, amongst which was one by the Quakers, entitled "A Switch for the Snake." To this Mr Leslie again replied in "A Second Defence, or the third and last part of the Snake in the Grass." Wing L1157; Smith, Anti-Quakeriana p. 267. Very Scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PA 59.
