the Rise, Increase and Progress
of
the Christian People Called Quakers, in two volumes. This work was published in 1695, when Sewel could still interview eye witnesses to the events, and when the detailed court records were still available. Sewel is considered the definitive historian of the early Quaker movement, being the source of most Quaker writings in the 19th Century. Sewel was a Dutch Quaker himself, the son of Quaker parents, who were in England during part of the persecutions that he has chronicled. Also available is The History of the Society of Friends in America, 1850, by James Bowden, Vol I, (13.6Mb)
