About This Book

An autobiographical account presents the author's spiritual awakening and subsequent itinerant ministry, describing travels, preaching, arrests, imprisonments, and encounters with magistrates, clergy, and seekers. It lays out the theological convictions and practices that shaped a dissenting religious community, including emphasis on inward guidance, plain worship, scriptural devotion, moral discipline, and communal testimony. The narrative alternates personal recollection and reflective exposition, documenting practical challenges of conscience and organization, and offering counsel on conduct, repentance, and reconciliation while tracing the gradual development of his followers and their public reception.

“His life well repays study. It is a rich mine, and every page of it seems to be solid gold. Books now-a-days are spun out, and you get little after reading much; but The Journal of George Fox contains ingots of gold—things to be thought on and that will have to be thought on month by month before you get at the bottom of them.”—Charles Haddon Spurgeon.

NOTICE TO THE READER.

The present issue of The Journal of George Fox has been printed from the stereotype plates of the Eighth (Bi-Centenary) Edition, slightly corrected, and has been furnished with additional particulars of previous editions of The Journal (see pp. 541-544) and with greatly enlarged Indexes.

To accompany this issue, a map has been prepared to show the places mentioned in The Journal, the spelling of the names being mostly taken from the First Edition. This work has necessitated a considerable amount of research and enquiry in order to identify some of the more obscure localities referred to by George Fox. It is hardly to be expected that the positions of all these, after this lapse of time, will accord with the judgment of all readers, but it is hoped that the map may promote the intelligent perusal of these volumes.

The Journal may be obtained with or without the map (see advertisement on page ii.).

Hon. Sec. Friends’ Tract Association.
