"Prima edizione" di questa celebre opera che fu sovente ristampata anche nel Novecento. Cfr. BatesonII855 - GraesseII622 - BrunetVI22524. Predicatore inglese e teorico del principio della tolleranza 1624-91 il Fox fondò a metà Seicento la setta protestante dei Quaccheri. Irruente parlatore e scrittore efficace il suo "Journal" è un classico non solo nella mistica il Fox ha dei punti di contatto specie nel valore dato alla rinascita spirituale con J. Boehme. Ma la principale ragione del suo successo sta forse nel fatto che egli unì l'insistenza sulla semplicità dei modi nei rapporti umani e la protesta contro il culto meramente esteriore e contro le ingiustizie sociali all'altra protesta contro il rigido predestinazionismo calvinista.

He rebelled against the religious and political authorities by proposing an unusual and uncompromising approach to the Christian faith. He traveled throughout Britain as a dissenting preacher. He was often persecuted by the authorities who disapproved of his beliefs.This work was edited by Thomas Ellwood an associate of John Milton. Interestingly this journal omits the dissent within the Quaker movements and the contributions of others are largely excluded. Historians have used it as a primary source because of its wealth of detail on ordinary life in the 17th century and the many towns and villages which Fox visited. Jones Rufus Preface of Jone's version of Fox's journal 1908. <br> Ellwood describes Fox as zgraceful in countenance manly in personage grave in gesture courteous in conversation." Peen says he was "civil beyond all forms of breeding". We are that he was "plain and powerful in preaching fervent in prayer" "a discerner of other men's spirits and very master of his own".
