Synopsis

This book presents a comprehensive collection of State Papers relating to the history of The Religious Society of Friends from 1654 to 1672. Focusing on the early Quakers, the book draws from documents stored in the Record Office to provide unique insights into the challenges faced by this persecuted religious group in 17th century England. The book places this religious persecution within its historical context, shedding light on the political and social landscape of the time. It explores the tensions between religious freedom and authority and the broader significance of these events for our understanding of religious toleration and the development of modern Britain.
