Synopsis
Extracts From The Diary And Other Manuscripts Of The Late Frederic James Post, Of Islingston — Frederic James Post. This volume presents a biographical and literary compilation drawn from the diaries, childhood reminiscences, and early essays of Frederic James Post, a precocious English youth from Islington who lived during the early 19th century. The work traces his development as a student and thinker: his devotion as a member of the Society of Friends, his wide-ranging intellectual interests, and his careful self-observation through diary entries, essays, and personal reflections on religion, education, science, and mortality. Included are a prefatory memoir, editor’s notes, essays and memoranda, detached pieces, and biographical notices of friends and contemporaries. The collection offers insight into 19th-century Quaker education, early scientific curiosity (entomology, electricity, chemistry), linguistic pursuits (French, Greek), and a young life shaped by piety, perseverance, and intellectual striving, continued by supplementary appendices and selections.
