Book Description
Excerpt from Piety Promoted, in a Collection of Dying Sayings of Many of the People Called Quakers, Vol. 2 of 4: With a Brief Account of Some of Their Labours in the Gospel, and Sufferings for the Same Jesus christ being both the author and foundation of the Christian religion, they who believe in him, and build upon him as their foundation and rock, lay the foundation of the building so sure, that as they abide thereon, neither the winds nor rains are able to overturn it; for it stands all tempests. It was upon this that the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles were founded. And as he was their rock, so he was to all the people of the Lord, throughout their generations; and another foundation can no man lay, than that which is already laid. It is here we may assure ourselves to be safe, respecting our salvation. And as we acknowledge no other bottom for our religion, neither do we look to have salvation any other way than by Jesus Christ our Lord, who gave himself a ran som' for all. It hath been by faith in him, and through the work of his grace in our hearts, that many in our day, as in ages past, have had their salvation sealed unto them, that when their death-bed sickness has come, they have had cause of rejoicing, that through faith they had witness that they had pleased God, by whose power they were enabled to work out their salvation with fear and trembling.

Book Description
American Quakerism changed dramatically in the antebellum era owing to both internal and external forces, including schism, industrialization, western migration, and reform activism. With the “Great Separation” of the 1820s and subsequent divisions during the 1840s and 1850s, new Quaker sects emerged. Some maintained the quietism of the previous era; others became more austere; still others were heavily influenced by American evangelicalism and integration into modern culture. Examining this increasing complexity and highlighting a vital religiosity driven by deeply held convictions, Janet Moore Lindman focuses on the Friends of the mid-Atlantic and the Delaware Valley to explore how Friends’ piety affected their actions—not only in the evolution of religious practice and belief but also in response to a changing social and political context. Her analysis demonstrates how these Friends’ practical approach to piety embodied spiritual ideals that reformulated their religion and aided their participation in a burgeoning American republic. Based on extensive archival research, this book sheds new light on both the evolution of Quaker spiritual practice and the history of antebellum reform movements. It will be of interest to scholars and students of early American history, religious studies, and Quaker studies as well as general readers interested in the history of the Society of Friends.

Book Description
The period 1678-1730 was a decisive one not only in Western political history but also in the history of the British press. Changing conditions for political expression and an expanding book trade enabled unprecedented opportunities for political activity. The Women of Grub Street argues thatwomen already at work in the London book trade were among the first to seize those new opportunities for public political expression.Synthesizing areas of scholarly inquiry previously regarded as separate, and offering a new model for the study of the literary marketplace, The Women of Grub Street examines not only women writers, but also printers, booksellers, ballad-singers, hawkers, and other producers and distributors ofprinted texts. Original both in its sources and in the claims it makes for the nature, extent, and complexities of women's participation in print culture and public politics, it provides a wealth of new information about middling and lower-class women's political and literary lives, and shows thatthese women were not merely the passive distributors of other people's political ideas. The central argument of the book is that women of the widest possible variety of socioeconomic backgrounds and religio-political allegiances in fact played so prominent a role in the production and transmissionof political ideas through print as to belie simultaneous powerful claims that women had no place in public life. R The first full-length study to suggest the degree of involvement of women in the entire process of print creation at this important moment, The Women of Grub Street supports a numberof important revisionary arguments with a broad range of literary and archival evidence. It will be of interest to readers of literature, social and publishing history, women's studies and feminism, and the history of democracy and public discourse.
