This volume brings together three journals of George Fox (1624 1691) the founder of the Religious Society of Friends. It was edited by Norman Penny and first published in 1925 to mark the tercentenary of Fox's birth. The Short Journal, dictated by Fox during his detention in Lancaster prison (1663 1664), records Fox's missionary wanderings and the persecutions he faced between 1648 and 1663. The Itinerary Journal, compiled by John Field, contains an account of Fox's missionary work, church organisational activities and family life from 1681 to his death in 1691. The Haistwell Diary, written by Fox's companion Edward Haistwell, records Fox's activities between 1677 and 1679, including his missionary journey across the length of England and his missionary voyages to Holland and North Germany. The collection is a key source for those studying Fox's life and thought or the history and origins of the Quaker movement.

Originally published in 1920, this book contains the annotated account book of Sarah Fell, the step-daughter of George Fox, the founder of Quakerism. Fell kept the family accounts in this book from 1673 to 1678, and the result is an interesting look into the economy of a gentleman's household immediately following the Restoration, as well as evidence of the role played by women in household management. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in daily life in the late seventeenth century.
