Synopsis

Observations On The Christian Doctrines And Practices Of The Early Friends is a book written by William Evans in 1852. The book is a comprehensive study of the beliefs and practices of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers, during their early years. Evans examines the origins of the Quaker movement, the teachings of its founders, and the ways in which these teachings were put into practice by early Quaker communities. He also discusses the distinctive features of Quaker worship and the role of the Bible in Quaker theology. The book provides a valuable insight into the development of Quakerism and its influence on Christian thought and practice. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the Quaker movement in particular.With Some Notice Of The State Of Religion In This Country In The Early Part Of The Seventeenth Century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the Author

Thomas W. Evans was chair of the trustees at Teachers College, where he also served as an adjunct professor of education and administration. His books include The School in the Home and Mentors. A graduate of Columbia Law School, his legal publications include Admissions Practice and the PLI series on Nuclear Litigation (editor and co-author). Evans' knowledge of politics stems largely from his years with the Mudge Rose firm (once known as Nixon Mudge), where he was a senior litigator and (for a decade) managing partner. Quite apart from his professional duties, he oversaw the 1968 New Hampshire primary and set up a national grass roots citizens' organization. Richard Nixon described Evans to historian Theodore White as one of three men who convinced Nixon to run for the presidency again in 1968.

While Evans never served in the Nixon administration, he was counsel to the Points of Light Foundation under Bush (41) and for eight years chair of the White House's national symposium on partnerships in education under Reagan. He consulted with officials of the Clinton administration about educational reform, and, locally, served on commissions under Mayors Koch and Dinkins.
