Hayes, Will
Gray Ridge. The Book of Francis Howgill. Hertha's Chapel, Meopham Green: The Order of the Great Companions, 1942. 8vo, org. wrappers; 8 plates (1 double-sided) and one illus. to text as called for.
Howgill was an early 'First Publisher of Truth', or Quaker traveling minister in the 1650s-60s. Whilst obscure today he was well-known and respected as a preacher and elder. His works fell out of favour as he maintained an apocolyptic theology even after it became unpopular with the fall of the Commonwealth. His work was rediscovered with this 1942 work by Hayes, which attempted to place Howgill within a pluralist or universalist Quaker theology.

Sold for £30
Estimated at £60 - £80


 

. Touch of wear to wrappers, generally clean internally.
