Synopsis

Diary Of Alexander Jaffray: To Which Are Added Particulars Of His Subsequent Life, Given In Connexion With Memoirs Of The Rise, Progress, And Persecutions, Of The People Called Quakers, In The North Of Scotland" by Alexander Jaffray. This work presents a two-part, devotional history of the rise and persecution of the Quakers in the north of Scotland, especially Aberdeen and surrounding districts, from the mid-17th to the 18th centuries. It centers on the diary of Alexander Jaffray and on memoirs about Andrew Jaffray, Lilias Skene, and other Aberdeen Friends, along with the Barclay circle (Robert and David Barclay) and influential early Quakers such as George Fox, William Penn, and Stephen Crisp. The volume traces persecution, testimonies, travels, and the inward spirituality emphasizing the Spirit of adoption and steadfast witness under coercion. It also surveys church governance, reform, and hopes for revival, including discussions of Testimonies, Letters, and historical notes. Editor John Barclay frames sources and context, presenting a memorialized portrait of pioneers and a meditation on fidelity to the inner Light and true gospel.
