In den WarenkorbLarge Mezzotint (approx 400 x 526mm). Some very careful repair work to the blank verso of the print, some minor creasing in places, light rubbing to the surface of the print (which is rather susceptible to making due to the large areas of dark black ink) but otherwise remarkably well preserved. London: E. Hemskirck pinx / I. B…owles Exc London Sold by J. Bowles at Mercers Hall in Cheapside, Rare. There are two examples of this print in the British Museum but we have not located any other copies. "It is curious that impressions of this engraving are excessively rare in England, and that those which are met with, are, according to our experience, usually poor" (Whitten, Quaker Pictures, see below). The publisher of this engraving, John Bowles (c.1701-1779) was the younger son of Thomas Bowles I, and brother of Thomas Bowles II. This print may well a new impression of a (?Dutch) plate which Bowles acquired, this would explain the slightly worn appearance of the plate in most copies. A well-preserved impression of a rare and contested print showing a Quaker meeting with a woman ministering to a large assembled group including William Penn and George Fox. Writing in Quaker Pictures in 1892, Wilfred Whitten noted that Egbert van Heemskercke's original painting on which the present (and a number of other) prints was based, "should be better known, for it may fairly be called the great historic picture of primitive Quakerism." (p.19) Whitten goes on to describe the present engraving of this painting - referred to as the "Bull and Mouth Meeting" (after the famous early Quaker meeting place - and notes that the many figures in the scene are most likely portraits of real Quakers and that much of the attire is correct. Whitten points out the recognisable figures of George Fox, leaning to the left of the main woman, and William Penn and the Duke of York (later James II) who are shown in the lower right-hand corner of the picture. Whitten writes: "We are well aware that some Friends have difficulty in regarding this picture as anything else than a caricature. We think, however, that the caricature is only slight. The attitudes of the worshippers, the unmistakeable likeness of George Fox, of William Penn, and of the Duke of York, the careful rendering of costume, the chamber itself, and the glimpse of the London chimneys through the diamond-paned window, the broad stream of sunlight that is pouring upon the worshippers (showing that the artist sought beauty in his subject) - these circumstances and the whole spirit of the work, are we think, persuasive evidence that we have a serious representation of a dramatic scene in the history of the first Quakers" (p.20-1) Harry Mount, more recently, in his essay, "Egbert van Heemskerck's Quaker Meetings Revisited" (Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes , 1993, Vol. 56 (1993), pp. 209- 228) has slightly cautioned against seeing the image as an accurate representation of real Quakers although concedes that, "Heemskerck's depictions of Quaker meetings seems to have been quite accurate in a number of respects. His portrayal of Quaker dress tallies with the range of garments recorded in contemporary household accounts and recommended in documents issued by Quaker Meetings." (p.227) Provenance: George Francis Carline (1855-1920), oil and watercolour painter, ink inscription "Geo: F. Carline / Lincoln / 1887" on the blank verso of the sheet.

In den WarenkorbFirst edition of the "classic statement of Quaker principles" (ODNB), a vital codification which helped transform the movement from a loose community to a tightly focussed sect. Before reaching his 28th birthday, Robert Barclay (1648-1690) wrote a series of works that defined Quaker thinking for centuries and shaped the group in…to a co-ordinated movement which could defend itself against the persecution of the restored Stuart monarchs. This is his most comprehensive and fully developed treatise, an elaborate defence of his earlier Theses theologicae (1674). The Apologia helped to define such essential Quaker doctrines as inward revelation and the universal saving light. Barclay asserted that neither Church nor scripture could claim ultimate authority in spiritual matters, both ultimately subordinated to the internal guidance of the holy spirit. The Apologia proved particularly influential among the French philosophes: Voltaire praised Barclay's writing on toleration, while Jaucourt deemed it "the most rational and the most perfect system yet conceived" (quoted in Phillips, p. 86). ESTC R11963. Edith Phillips, "The Friends as seen by the French", Bulletin of Friends Historical Association, vol. 18, no. 2, 1929. Quarto (213 x 165 mm), pp. [xxiv], 376, [26]. Wood-engraved initial.

Title page mounted on stub. Light rubbing, minor browning and foxing to contents, unobtrusive paper repairs to several leaves: a very good copy.

In den Warenkorbcalligraphic title-page in red and black ink, 38 photographs of various types laid down all identified by the maiden names of those depicted, accompanied by an equal number of cards and letters bearing messages to the Longmaids, a 2pp. printed poem by Martha B. Baker tipped in, ff. 27, oblong folio, full crimson morocco with bor…der and decorations in gilt, upper board with 'L.C.K. [Ladies College Kendal]' stamped in gilt, some wear at extremities, good. A handsome tribute to William Henry Longmaid and his wife Margaret (née Brown), Quaker schoolteachers who ran the College for ten years before her health took them to Southport and a smaller establishment in 1880. His educational specialism was science, but in later life he established a reputation as an artist. Excepting Miss Mulley, who heads the group, the album is arranged alphabetically (by maiden name): the names Braithwaite, Crosfield, Pecover, Richardson and Sim recur. Amongst the ex-pupils is Rachel Juliet Fox (née Fowler), the first president of the Panacea Society - an organisation founded after the Great War and based on the teachings of Joanna Southcott.
