NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS 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. With A Summary Relation Of The Former Dispensations Of God In The World; By Way Of Introduction. This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Autorenporträt
William Penn (1644-1718) was an English real estate entrepreneur, philosopher, early Quaker, and the founder of the Province of Pennsylvania, the English North American colony and the future Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He was an early advocate of democracy and religious freedom, notable for his good relations and successful treaties with the Lenape Native Americans. Under his direction, the city of Philadelphia was planned and developed. In his prose, Penn articulated his Quaker faith and the principles that underpinned the establishment of a colony based on religious tolerance and pacifism. One of the seminal texts reflecting his religious and social ethos is 'A Brief Account of the Rise and Progress of the People Called Quakers' (1694), wherein he thoroughly explains the tenets of the Quaker movement, their persecution, and the spiritual insights of their founder, George Fox. The book serves as an essential document in understanding both the historical context of Quakerism and Penn's personal advocacy for a society structured around the principles of equality, liberty, and peaceful coexistence. His literary style is marked by a fervent and evangelical tone, expressing the urgency and righteousness of the Quaker message while also employing a reasoned and frequently polemical approach typical of the religious and philosophical debates of his time.
