1808 QUAKER Portraiture of Quakerism Clarkson Slavery Abolition Slave Trade 3v

Thomas Clarkson was an English abolitionist best-known for his attempts at ending slave trade in Great Britain. During his abolitionist campaign, Clarkson came across an anti-slavery work by Quaker Anthony Benezet that would ultimately convince Clarkson to convert to Quakerism. Coinciding with his conversion, Clarkson wrote and published a survey of Quakerism in America as it was at the end of the 18^th-century into the 19^th-century. In this book, “A Portraiture of Quakerism”, Clarkson describes Quaker customs, ceremonies, doctrine, common practices, discipline, and religious expectations.
