Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensively researched examination of the history of the Quakers, including the first book printed in New York, the most complete collection of works by Christopher Sower, and his unique and extensive collection of publications from the presses of the inland towns of Pennsylvania, and his collection of first American editions, including the Aitken Bible, Knickerbockers New York, Shakespeare, The Federalist, Proposed Book of Common Prayer, Gullivers Travels, etc. It also includes many rare and unique works, such Truth Advanced - the first book printed in New York, and The Battle-Door, by George Fox and others, which was written in defense of the Quakers Thee and Thou. The collection of seven New Testaments is probably one of its most remarkable features, as they all appeared before any English Testament was published in this country. The author gathered these works over a lifetime, and the result is a collection that is both comprehensive and fascinating.
