The Sure Foundation, Or, Past And Future Of The Society Of Friends: With A Supplemental Chapter On Some Of The Essays Already Published by William Colsun Westlake. This 1860 work offers a historical and doctrinal examination of the English Society of Friends (Quakers), tracing the origins of Quakerism in the mid-17th century and outlining its fundamental principles. Westlake surveys the inward witness, the authority of Scripture, and the rejection of outward rites as binding, while emphasizing the priesthood of all believers and the centrality of silent worship. The book presents the Friends’ testimonies on simplicity, truth-telling, nonviolence, and social action, and discusses how discipline, vitality, and reform influence growth. Spanning origin, doctrines, testimonies, statistics, and development, it also includes a supplemental chapter addressing contemporary critiques. Through critique and commendation, Westlake argues that, despite external formality, Quaker principles remain robust, urging openness to reform and renewed evangelistic effort.
