1783 Quakers in Colonial America | Ben Franklin Connection USA printing PENN

1783 Quakers in Colonial America | Ben Franklin Connection USA printing PENN

A rare collection of three works defending Quakerism in America!

Published in 1783, this book contains the following three works:

• “A Brief Account of the Rise and Progress of…Quakers” by William Penn
• “The Anarchy of the Ranters” by Robert Barclay
• “An Epistle to the National Meeting of Friends” by Joseph Pike

Each of these three works is important to the foundation of religious freedoms in the United States; however, Barclay’s “Ranters” is notoriously valuable and desirable because of its connection to Benjamin Franklin. Franklin maintained close relationships with Quakers in Pennsylvania and was even known to publish this title himself!
