Early ownership signature of Sarah Greenfield 1806 in each of the volumes. A sympathetic discussion of Quakerism, including its lifestyle, social customs as well as religious principles, by an important English anti-slavery activist. Clarkson, though not a Friend himself, admired both the faith, and William Penn. He eventually wrote in 1813 the first real biography of Penn. The present title proved quite popular according to Lowndes, who asserts that "2,500 copies were sold without advertisement." Sabin 13492.
