Aesthetics in Science, as Practised by Quakers in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries Geoffrey Cantor Universityof Leeds Quaker Studies 4 (1999): 1-20 Abstract: Drawing on examples from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it will be argued that the sciences - but particularly observational sciences such as astronomy, botany and meteorology - were highly acceptable to Quakers. Moreover, the study of nature was vested with an aesthetic that emphasised God as the Creator of nature and of order and beauty in the natural world. While many wealthy Quakers participated in these sciences, botany also provided employment for Quakers from less affiuent backgrounds. Hence a number Quakers made careers as botanical lecturers, writers, publishers and illustrators. The role of the botanical illustrator is explored to show that the aim was to portray nature- God's Creation- with integrity.

  • The Gurney Mss
    <15untej> A very important and interesting collection of manuscript letters has recently been deposited on permanent loan in the Friends Reference Library, Euston Road, London, through the kindness of Mr. Quintin Gurney, of Bawdeswell Hall, Norfolk, a great-grandson of Joseph John Gurney, of Earlham. The letters date from about 1750 to 1850, and they deal with that branch of the family that has been so well described by Augustus Hare in The Gurney s of Earlham. It will be remembered how widespread were the relationships and the interests of this remarkable family, connecting, in the earlier period, with the Barclays, the Bells, and the Bevans, and in the later with the Frys, the Hoares, and the Buxtons, whilst other Gurney groups are represented in the homes of Samuel Gurney of Upton and Daniel Gurney of Runcton, with their further ramifications as the children married into other families including the Cresswells and the Leathams ; all these, and many others, are represented in these letters, and they have much to tell us of life, inside and outside the Society and the home. Some of the writers, including Elizabeth Fry, and Priscilla and Joseph John Gurney, were gifted in the Ministry, and many are the Meetings and Friends visited and described by them. A number of the letters and themes can be gathered into a more or less connected narrative, and it is hoped that these will be published at a future date, but the topics are so varied that some of the letters can hardly find a place in such a plan, and some of these it is hoped to publish from time to time in The Journal.

  • Love and Unity'' in Colonial Pennsylvania Politics
    The Quest for Harmony in a Turbulent World: The Principle of "Love and Unity'' in Colonial Pennsylvania Politics ACCORDING TO JAMES LOGAN, mentor of many politicians in ZJk Pennsylvania, "Dissension, Faction, Wars, foreign and intes- JL .m> tine" were created by "Pride, Ambition, and Resentment," qualities antithetical to his—and the Quaker—ideal of "the Beauty of Civil Life."1 For Logan there was an inverse correlation between re- sponsible political behavior and the degree to which human passions controlled politicians. On one level Logan's opinion is perfectly com- patible with that political theory which takes as its starting point the sorry fact that mankind is mostly governed by passions. Since passions are not reliable guides for proper behavior, the responsibility of es- tablishing order falls to the chosen few who manage to keep their passions within proper bounds. Yet, on a different level of argument, it is no coincidence that Logan's causes for "Dissension, Faction, Wars, foreign and intestine" are identical with those other Quakers usually reserved for wars. Moreover, for Quakers these causes were not just deficiencies of mankind but serious deviations from Christian values encompassed in terms like "meekness," "mildness of temper," and "love" as prescribed in the Sermon on the Mountain. Did these terms, however, affect the Quakers' vision of politics and society the same way that the concept of the passions influenced, for example, the political theory of Hobbes and Harrington,2 and if so, in what way did this affect the structure of politics in Pennsylvania? *A shorter version was read to the conference on "The Founding of Pennsylvania, 1682-1800" on October 16, 1982 at Philadelphia.

  • Funding the Centrally Managed Work of Britain Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends
    FUNDING THE CENTRALLY MANAGED WORK OF BRITAIN YEARLY MEETING OF THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS by HAZEL LEONORE JONES A dissertation submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham May 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the proposition that the centrally managed work carried out by Britain Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends has suffered from a decline in the income contributed by Members and Attenders. It argues that declining income is strongly linked to dwindling membership. It considers whether the declining levels of income and membership are expressions of secularisation. It researches the historical growth in the Society’s centrally managed work and the development of an organisational structure to support this. It considers recent past experience when the perceived importance of the work led Quakers to lose the balance between caution and ‘living adventurously’. Soaring expenditure, unmatched by similar increase in contribution income, forced a move to budgetary planning, based on a balanced budget and maintenance of a prudent level of reserves.

  • Bonbon Ear Tlutfin in 1833
    Bonbon ear TlUtfin in 1833 MANUSCRIPT, written by an unknown hand, has been lent us by J. Ernest Grubb. The following breviate may be of interest to our readers. The Meeting opened on Wednesday, 22nd May and closed on Thursday, 6th June. Business meetings were held on fourteen days, sittings being held on both the Saturday afternoons. Samuel Tuke was clerk and Josiah Forster and George Stacey assistants. There was considerable ministry before each sitting, amongst the Friends taking part being Thomas Franklin, J. J. Gurney, Abraham Fisher, Barnard Dickinson, Stephen Grellet, Richard Ash, Richard Cockin, Lewis Seebohm, Charles Osborn, John Pease. Passing a revision of the Book of Extracts occupied numerous sittings. Testimonies were read and Queries answered ; Epistles were read and answers prepared. The committee for examining the accounts of the National Stock reported a charge for travelling Ministers of £900, printing and stationery £200, with numerous smaller matters. There was, as usual, coming and going of a religious nature between the Yearly Meeting and the Women's Meeting Sylvanus Fox, accompanied by Richard Cockin and Alexander Crookshank ; Thomas Franklin, accom­ panied by John Hipsley and John Glaisyer ; Robert Jowitt and John Pease, accompanied by Joseph Marriage and John Glaisyer, went into the Women's Meeting. Respecting the last named visit we read : Robert Jowitt mentioned his concern to visit the Women's Meeting. John Pease then rose & laid a similar concern before the Meeting ; they were both encouraged & united with, Joseph Marriage & Jno. Glaisyer were appointed to accompany them. Previous to their moving, a message was received from the Women's Meeting to know if this would be a suitable time to receive a visit from 2 women Friends, which proved to be so, & soon after Elizabeth Fry, Mary Fox & two friends in the 72 LONDON YEARLY MEETING IN 1833 station of Elder appeared.

  • Stories from Discovering the Underground Railroad, Abolitionism and African American Life
    Stories From Discovering the Underground Railroad, Abolitionism, and African American Life in Seneca County, 1820-1880 Introduction The various stories I have compiled here are based upon the information found in the project report Discovering the Underground Railroad, Abolitionism, and African American Life in Seneca County, New York, 1820-1880 written by Dr. Judith Wellman of Historical New York Research Associates. This is the report of the research project funded in 2005-06 by a Preserve New York Grant from the Preservation League of New York State and the New York State Council on the Arts. The grant made it possible to do an in-depth sites survey of places in Seneca County that were part of the Underground Railroad and/or abolitionist activity and/or homes of African Americans. This report was completed through the Seneca County Historian’s Office. The purpose of these compiled stories is to help the reader grasp more fully the wonderful insights that can be gleaned from making use of the information found in this report. In my stories I have tried to take the information found in the project report about a particular place or a particular person and put it into a narrative format and add some discussion of the historical significance about this person or place. While each story can “stand alone,” when put together they help the reader to understand much of what was happening in Seneca County during these years. I sincerely thank Dr. Wellman for her wonderful wording that I have so extensively used and to which I have added some discussion of historical significance.

The Tyounger was about twenty-five years of age, short of stature, with coal-black ringlets falling about a rather full face. The other was a woman of middle age, petite in figure, with vivacious eyes and a determined chin ; her white cap, the plain bonnet on the bench beside her, her sober gown, with white kerchief across the shoulders, identified her as a member of the Society of Friends. They were engrossed in earnest conversation, oblivious to the treasures that lay about them in the world's greatest store-house of the past.

  • “There Is Death in the Pot”: Women, Consumption, And
    “THERE IS DEATH IN THE POT”: WOMEN, CONSUMPTION, AND FREE PRODUCE IN THE TRANSATLANTIC WORLD, 1791-1848 by JULIE LYNN HOLCOMB Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2010 Copyright © by Julie Holcomb 2010 All Rights Reserved To Stan ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Researching and writing this dissertation has been a long journey. Fortunately, it has not been a lonely one. I am pleased to have an opportunity to recognize the many kindnesses and the valuable support received along the way. The University of Texas at Arlington provided a great environment in which to develop as a scholar. I have benefitted from the patience, generosity, and scholarship of my committee. My chair Sam W. Haynes modeled the ideal balance of academic rigor and nurturing support. I profited as well from the advice of Stephanie Cole and Christopher Morris. Words cannot begin to convey how much I appreciate my committee’s encouragement and advice throughout this process. I have also received valuable assistance from James Cotton and Robin Deeslie in the history department and Diana Hines and Rachel Robbins in the library’s interlibrary loan department. I have also had the opportunity to study at Pacific University and the University of Texas at Austin. Pacific is an incredible place to study. The small classes and equally small departments provide unparalleled opportunities for academic and personal development. I am particularly grateful to Lawrence Lipin and Alex Toth for their mentorship during my time at Pacific.

  • The Beacon Separation
    THE BEACON SEPARATION n the year 1818 an experiment in the formal teaching and expounding of the Scriptures was in progress at the Friends' school I at Ackworth. It was designed to provide the basis for a new system of religious instruction, incorporating the use of a catechism on knowledge gained by reading and study and contained the implication that faith could be acquired by the exercise of the powers of reason. It met with much criticism from conservatively minded Friends and John Barclay* wrote several letters to the school committee, saying that they were 'as it were putting the Cart before the Horse, teaching Children to profess a set of doctrinal truths before their minds are altogether ready and ripe to profess such belief; Barclay also considered that 'we are in danger of having a set of young formalists rise about us, whose heads are more likely to be filled with notions than with that nothingness of self which is as truly the introduction to all right knowledge on these subjects as the other is a snare and a stumbling block in the way of it.' The experiment, revolutionary in itself and clearly showing the influence of evangelicalism, was a straw in the wind, indicating how a breach in the unity of the Society might be expected to develop. Thirteen years before the Ackworth experiment the gentle and sincere Henry Tuke of York had published a short book entitled Tuke's Principles of Religion, which proved very popular and ran into ten editions by 1828. In his introduction to his book Henry Tuke directed his readers to Barclay's Apology, but he departs from Barclay in two important particulars.
