Engraved bookplate of: John Glaisyer Chymist & Druggist Brighton" Engraved armorial bookplate of Francis Frederick Fox. Contemporary full leather binding joints cracked. A nice copy of an important and scarce Quaker work. George Fox 1624-1691 was the founder of the Society of Friends Quakers. By nature serious and contemplative at the age of 19 he entered upon a wandering quest for spiritual enlightenment. In 1646 he underwent a mystical experience that convinced him that Christianity was not an outward profession but an inner light by which Christ directly illumines the believing soul. Revelation was for Fox not confined to the Scriptures. In 1647 he began to preach. Although often the victim of mob brutality and eight times imprisoned between 1649 and 1675 Fox won many followers especially among groups of separatists. In 1668 he prepared the first pattern of organization which was for some years to serve as the discipline of the Society of Friends. The London Yearly Meeting was started in 1671. To confirm his followers in their beliefs and to spread the truths Fox went in 1671 to the West Indies and to America where he made arduous journeys to various colonies scattered between New England and North Carolina. Later he twice visited Holland. His sincerity serenity fearlessness and powerful preaching are attested to by a number of his contemporaries. This Journal with a preface by William Penn was first published in 1694. An early owner of this book was Francis Frederick Fox 1832-1915 the 2nd son of Francis Ker Fox of Brislington House.

FOX, Charles JamesBiblio.com

A letter from the right honourable Charles James Fox to the worthy and independent electors of the city and liberty of Westminster.

17935139London: J. Debrett 1793. Second edition. A nice copy of this open letter to his constituents from the political radical Charles James Fox. It argued his radical position and opposition to war with France. Significant here as France declared war on the United Kingdom six days later. Although this copy seems to lack the half title and a blank as it begins with the title page and the next leaf has the signature B our copy follows the pagination of OCLC 6595972. So we assume that the second edition had no half title. Contents themselves are complete. To the end is a single leaf of advertisements from Debretts end with a hanging "the" indicating there should be a second leaf here lacking. Sewn with twine as with all other copies we have seen. The covers have a little marking and edgewear but inside the contents are clean and tidy throughout. ii 43 1. pages. Charles James Fox a radical Whig reformer was first elected for a rotten borough in 1768 whilst he was still underage. He first represented the significant borough of Westminster in 1780 and remained their member of parliament until his death in 1806. 20cm x 11.5cm. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 6595972. . Deuxième édition. Bel exemplaire de cette lettre ouverte adressée à ses électeurs par le radical Charles James Fox. Il y défend sa position radicale et son opposition à la guerre avec la France. Cette lettre est importante car la France déclara la guerre au Royaume-Uni six jours plus tard. Bien que cet exemplaire semble dépourvu de la moitié du titre et d'un blanc puisqu'il commence par la page de titre et que le feuillet suivant porte la signature B notre exemplaire suit la pagination de l'OCLC 6595972. Nous supposons donc que la deuxième édition n'avait pas de demi-titre. La table des matières est complète. A la fin se trouve un seul feuillet de publicité de Debretts avec un "the" suspendu indiquant qu'il devrait y avoir un deuxième feuillet ici manquant. Cousu avec de la ficelle comme pour tous les autres exemplaires que nous avons vus. Les couvertures ont un peu de marques et d'usure mais à l'intérieur le contenu est propre et bien rangé. ii 43 1. pages. Charles James Fox un réformateur Whig radical a été élu pour la première fois pour un borough pourri en 1768 alors qu'il était encore mineur. Il représenta pour la première fois l'important borough de Westminster en 1780 et resta leur membre du parlement jusqu'à sa mort en 1806. 20 cm x 115 cm. Conforme à WorldCat / OCLC : 6595972. J.
