Carroll, Kenneth L.
Three Hundred Years and More of Third Haven Quakerism
Publisher: The Queen Anne Press, 1984 Easton, MD.
Book. Book condition: Very Good. Trade paperback 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall Appendix: "An Architectural History of Third Haven Meetinghouse" by Orlando Ridout V. "..The story of Third Haven Quakerism (and of its larger early affiliate, Maryland Yearly Meeting of Friends) has the qualities of a historical drama. The small beginnings, the short but intense period of persecution and suffering, followed by a rapid growth both in Talbot County and other parts of the colony, all combined to produce a situation whereby Quakers came to occupy a very important place in the economic, political, religious, and social life of Talbot County, the Eastern Shore, and much of Maryland. Even with the decline of the Society of Friends in nineteenth and twentieth century Maryland the earlier Quaker influence lived on. Truly Friends have left a rich heritage behind them - especially in the struggle for democracy, equality, peace, religious freedom, and the abolition of slavery and the overcoming of discrimination.."

Carroll, Kenneth L. and Ridout V, Orlando
Three Hundred Years and More of Third Haven Quakerism
Publisher: The Queen Anne Press, 1984 Easton, MD.
Book. Book condition: Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall "..The story of Third Haven Quakerism (and of its larger early affiliate, Maryland Yearly Meeting of Friends) has the qualities of a historical drama. The small beginnings, the short but intense period of persecution and suffering, followed by a rapid growth both in Talbot County and other parts of the colony, all combined to produce a situation whereby Quakers came to occupy a very important place in the economic, political, religious, and social life of Talbot County, the Eastern Shore, and much of Maryland. Even with the decline of the Society of Friends in nineteenth and twentieth century Maryland, the earlier Quaker influence lived on. Truly Friends have left a rich heritage behind them - especially in the struggle for democracy, equality, peace, religious freedom, and the abolition of slavery and the overcoming of discrimination. This book makes no attempt to picture all the events of Third Haven's history or to list all its members, let alone to present a complete account of the deeper life of the meeting and its members. In a sense that would be impossible, even in a much larger work. Details of official action can be quoted extensively, and personal participation can be documented with hundreds of names. The origins of new meetings and the disappearance of old ones can be recorded. But the inner life of the Quaker group is less visible. Even the journals of the many visiting Friends in the ministry and the few personal letters which have survived from the earliest times to not fully disclose all the secular and religious interests of the Quaker. There are very few individual Friends in the Third Haven circle for whom any substantial material for a real biography is available. This work, therefore, deals more with the larger developments and trends than with detailed events and multitudinous listing of persons. It is hoped that, in addition to giving something of the sweep of Third Haven history, it will also help the reader appreciate more fully the larger Quaker movement and its contribution to history.." Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. 93 pages. Book is in GOOD or better condition. No dust jacket.

Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "The motive that has prompted the preparation of the present work, has been the hope that, by thus bringing the substance of the principal parts of the narratives f other writers into a more condensed form, the members of the religious Society of Friends--especially the young--may be induced to make themselves familiar with its rise, and the severe trials that attended its early progress; that thus they may become better acquainted with the character of the instruments employed by the Head of the Church to gather Friends into a distinct body, the manner in which He prepared them for the service, and the consistent system of Scriptural doctrine they inculcated, under the teaching and help of his Holy Spirit.." 667 pages with index.

Harvey, T. Edmund
The Rise of the Quakers
Publisher: National Council of Evangelical Free Churches, 1921 London.
Book. Book condition: Good. No Jacket. Hardcover "The rise of the Society of Friends is so closely bound up with the story of the life of George Fox that it is hardly possible to write of one without treating of the other. And yet no one would have been prompter than George Fox himself to disclaim the position which we might so naturally give him as founder of the Society of Friends. For, indeed, the history of the early Quakers is not that of a man, but of a movement. Before Fox began to preach men were feeling after the truths which he proclaimed; not only were doctrines afterwards distinctive of Quakerism held here and there by one and another of the many religious bodies which perplex the ecclesiastical historian of the seventeenth century, but up and down England little companies of 'Seekers', as they called themselves, were accustomed to meet together to search after fuller knowledge of the truth, and often to wait in silence before God in faith that He would teach them, though all the preachers of the different Churches without had failed to do so. Thus in the brief narrative of the spreading of truth inserted by George Fox in his Journal for the year 1676 he is able to speak of the gather ing together of Friends as a people in Leicestershire as early as 1644, though his own work as a preacher is not usually accounted to have begun till 1647. In his Journal for this period he speaks of talking with 'friendly people' who would doubtless by Seekers or in sympathy with them- - men and women weary of the formation of the Puritans, tired of the endless theological subtleties of so many of their preachers, longing in their hearts for a religion which should touch not only their intellects, but their inner souls.." 181 pages.

Sutherland, Hunter C.
The Little Falls Meeting of Friends, 1738-1988
Publisher: The Historical Society of Harford County, Inc., 1988 Bel Air, MD.
Book. Book condition: Good to Very Good. Trade paperback 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall Prepared for the Two Hundred Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration, September 24th and 25th, 1988, at the Little Falls Meeting House, Fallston, Maryland. "1738 to 1988 equals 250 years, just a blink of a eye in recorded history, but a long, long time for a small group of Friends, or Quakers as they are popularly known, to come into being and remain in existence. We are speaking of the Little Falls Meeting of Friends, which was organized in 1738 and has been meeting for worship nearly every First Day since then in an unprogrammed service after the manner of the Society of Friends. This little booklet is an attempt to relate some of the history of Little Falls by naming members and telling some of their actions, recording some of their comings and goings, giving dates of birth and death, reporting marriages 'performed under the loving care of the meeting, ' and even a little personal history of some of their recorded ministers. We are so very grateful to those Clerks and Recorders who set down in their minutes and meeting records all those names and dates and action and then, most importantly, saw to it that those records were safely kept so that we can now review them and compile some of the highlights.." v + 129 pages. Book is in GOOD to VERY GOOD condition; owner name on inside cover. Paper wrappers.

Ussher, Elizabeth, Lucy and Judith
Extracts from the Letters of Elizabeth, Lucy, and Judith Ussher, Late of the City of Waterford, Ireland
Publisher: Friends Book Store, 1871 Philadelphia, PA.
Book. Book condition: Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall "The following pages contain Extracts from Letters written by three sisters, the descendants of two ancient and honorable families, whose rank in life had placed them in the gay world, and furnished them with opportunities of participating in many of its more refined dissipations; but whilst young, and esteemed accomplished, they were strengthened to withdraw from those fascinating pleasures; the love of Christ having touched their hearts, the love of his world was thereby stained in their views. Thus yielding obedience to Him who called them to glory and virtue, they had the eyes of their understandings enlightened to behold the superior excellency there is in the Truth, and were at seasons favored to enjoy its enriching heavenly influence; and as they became further dedicated, could measurably say with the Psalmist, in the feeling language of the heart, 'The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. For who is God save the Lord; or who is a rock save our God? It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hind's feet, and setteth me on high places.'." 148 pages. Book is in good condition. There is some expected discoloration to pages, but it is not excessive and pages are not brittle. No dust jacket.
