Brief Account of the Rise and Progress of the People Called Quakers

A Brief Account of the Rise and Progress of the People Called Quakers in Which Their Fundamental Principle, Doctrines, Worship, Ministry, and Discipline, are Plainly Declared pretty much says it all when it comes to the content of the book. This work is of historical importance since it gives the reader insights into one of the religious groups who took part in the founding of America. This work was penned by William Penn. Quakers following the teachings of George Fox, have a unique view of religion and the world around them."Unique" can lead to misunderstanding and even fear. This work is somewhat of an apologetic by Penn as he not only explains but defends the Quakers.
