1673 Early AMERICA 1^ed William Penn Christian QUAKER Doctrine George Whitehead

William Penn was one of the most important figures in the establishment and rise of religious freedom in the United States. After coming to Pennsylvania to advocate for freedoms, Penn’s work led to the growth of Quakerism in America much in part to his book “The Christian-Quaker”. This book was Penn’s defense of Quakerism against Thomas Hicks’s attacks on Quakers.

This rare and highly desirable first edition of Penn’s “Christian Quaker” was published in 1673 and was supplemented by George Whitehead’s own work on the subject. An exceedingly rare piece of 17^th-century Americana.
