The American anti-slavery campaigner and minister of the Society of Friends (Quakers) John Woolman (1720-1772) was born in New Jersey to a Quaker family and as a young man became a firm opponent of slavery, travelling throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina to speak out against its evils: \u2018at Philadelphia yearly meeting on 26 August 1758 [&#8230;] Woolman made an impassioned appeal for Friends to abolish the practice of holding slaves: \u201cIn infinite Love and goodness He hath opened our understanding \u2026 concerning our duty toward this people; and it is not a time for delay\u2019 [&#8230;]. On that day the Quakers began the process by which they freed their slaves \u2013 the first large body so to do in America. Dean Willard Sperry of Harvard Divinity School says that if he \u201cwere asked to date the birth of social conscience in its present-day form\u201d he would place it at the time Woolman spoke at Philadelphia yearly meeting in 1758\u2019 (ODNB). In May 1772 Woolman sailed to England, and travelled throughout the country, arriving in York in September 1772, where he contracted the smallpox of which he died on 7 October 1772. His <i>Journal<\/i> was first published in 1775, and was widely recognised as a classic of spiritual autobiography, which attracted the praise of John Stuart Mill and Charles Lamb, and has remained in print since its first publication.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This edition is divided into two parts: the first is composed of the text of the \u2018Journal\u2019 (pp. [15]-246), prefaced by two memoirs of the author: \u2018The Testimony of Friends in Yorkshire, at their Quarterly-meeting held at York, the 24th and 25th of the third month, 1773, concerning John Woolman\u2019 (pp. [3]-7) and \u2018A Testimony of the Monthly Meeting of Friends held in Burlington, the first day of the eighth month [&#8230;], 1774, concerning our esteemed friend, John Woolman\u2019 (pp. [8]-13). The second part of the volume (\u2018The Works of John Woolman\u2019, pp. [247]-416) collects five pieces by Woolman: \u2018Some Considerations on the Keeping of Negroes\u2019 (first published in 1754); \u2018Considerations on Pure Wisdom, and Human Policy; on Labour; on Schools; and on the Right Use of the Lord\u2019s Outward Gifts\u2019 (first published in 1768); \u2018Considerations on the True Harmony of Mankind, and How it is to be Maintained\u2019 (first published in 1770); \u2018Remarks on Sundry Subjects\u2019 (first published posthumously in 1773); and \u2018An Epistle to the Quarterly and Monthly Meetings of Friends\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2278_03.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2278_03.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2278_03-350x316.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2278_03-300x271.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2278_03-388x350.jpeg 388w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This copy was previously in the library of James Blyth, and was given to him by the distinguished Quaker missionaries James Backhouse and George Washington Walker. Backhouse was born into a distinguished family of natural historians and horticulturists based in Darlington, and was educated in Leeds, before returning to Darlington. In 1815 James and his brother Thomas purchased a nursery in York, and in 1824 began missionary work in York. Walker was born in London, but brought up in Newcastle upon Tyne as a Unitarian and educated at a Weslyan school in Barnard Castle. In 1814 Walker was apprenticed to a Quaker linen draper in Newcastle and began to attend meetings of the Society of Friends, and, partly due to his friendship with Backhouse, he joined the Society in 1827. \u2018In 1831, in obedience to a \u201ccall\u201d, Walker accompanied Backhouse on what turned out to be a twenty-seven-year mission to the southern hemisphere. They landed at Hobart Town on 8 February 1832, after a five months\u2019 voyage. Encouraged by the governor of Van Diemen\u2019s Land, Sir George Arthur, they visited convicts, and reported on the living conditions of convicts and Aborigines (there and on Flinders Island). In Launceston they gathered a body of Quakers, who held their first yearly meeting in 1834. [&#8230;] After three years in Van Diemen\u2019s Land, Walker and Backhouse went to Sydney and made the acquaintance of Samuel Marsden, the senior chaplain there. When they returned to Hobart, at the request of the new governor, Sir John Franklin, they assisted Alexander Maconochie in the writing of his controversial report on penal conditions. In 1838 they travelled to Cape Town, visiting Mauritius on the way\u2019 (ODNB, <i>s.n.<\/i> Walker). In 1840 the two missionaries parted ways; Walker travelled to Hobart Town, where he married the Quaker Sarah Benson Mather and settled, and Backhouse returned to York, where he wrote <i>A Narrative of a Visit to the Australian Colonies&nbsp;<\/i>(London and York, 1843) and <i>A Narrative of a Visit to the Mauritius and South Africa<\/i> (London and York, 1844).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the latter work, Backhouse recorded that the two missionaries arrived at Port Louis, Mauritius on 7 March 1838, describing the town as \u2018beautifully situated on the west side of the Mauritius, in a cove formed by a series of basaltic hills, portions of which are woody: they vary in height from 1,058 to 2,639 feet. [&#8230;] The population of Port Louis in 1836, was 27,645, of whom 6,679 males and 6,664 females were free, and 8,247 males and 6,055 females were apprentices. Most of the latter and some of the former were persons of colour\u2019 (<i>Narrative of a Visit to the Mauritius and South Africa<\/i>, pp. 3-4). They only stayed for some twelve weeks, before they departed for Cape Town on 27 May, but during this time they made themselves familiar with the island and its inhabitants, and in May Backhouse wrote \u2018A Letter to Thomas Fowell Buxton, on the State of the Population of the Mauritius\u2019, with a particular emphasis on slavery. On the 27th of April Backhouse and Walker met their friend John Lane, the commander of <i>Stratford<\/i>, a vessel at Mauritius, and then called upon his employers, Blyth Brothers &amp; Company, the leading shipping company on the island, who Backhouse described as \u2018merchants of highly honourable character, who are said to act upon the high principle, \u201cAs ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them,\u201d a principle rarely to be found in operation among mercantile men\u2019 (<i>Extracts from the Letters of James Backhouse, whilst Engaged in a Religious Visit to Van Diemen\u2019s Land, New South Wales, and South Africa. Accompanied by George Washington Walker<\/i>(London, 1842), II, p, 39), and it seems likely that they met James Blyth, to whom this volume was inscribed, on that occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2278_04.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4891\" style=\"width:350px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2278_04.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2278_04-350x608.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2278_04-173x300.jpeg 173w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2278_04-201x350.jpeg 201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Blyth was an influential figure, who had settled in Mauritius in 1830, had been instrumental in founding the Mauritius Commercial Bank, and was a member of the island\u2019s Legislative Council from 1833 until he returned to England in 1839. He appears to have met the missionaries on a number of occasions in May 1838 before their departure; this volume was inscribed to Blyth on 11 May and Backhouse and Walker stayed with Blyth from 17 May to 18 May at his residence four miles from Port Louis, where \u2018Philip Blyth joined us, and we spent a little time very pleasantly, and had much conversation on the state of the colony, the improvement of which appears to be much retarded by the retention of old French law, and by the influence of persons of principles far from Christian in the administration of it\u2019 (<i>op. cit<\/i>., II, p. 47).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lowndes p. 2990.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading price\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>\u00a3295<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" style=\"letter-spacing:0.5px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.typeandforme.com\/product\/j-backhouse-g-w-walker-a-journal-of-the-life-of-john-woolman-1824\/\" style=\"background-color:#003b7a\"><strong>Order this book from the Type &amp; Forme Shop<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"letter-spacing:0.5px\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/index.php\/terms-conditions-of-sale\/\">Terms &amp; Conditions<\/a><\/span> apply.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1439,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,65,44,40,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-africa","category-all-books","category-history-of-ideas","category-the-americas","category-travel"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>J.
