In our previous articles upon the Society
Of Friends we endeavored to present a brief.
but sufficiently comprehensive view Of the
The anti. slavery action of early Friends, both
in this country and England, to enable a cor
rect estimat to be forme of the character of
the Society in regard to its abolilionism and
to show that the Friends of England in the
present day had followed in the footsteps of
their ancestors, and labored for the compile
ton of The work their forefathers so WORTH
ly begun. We do not, however, wish 10
convey the idea that the English Friends are
at this time so far in advance of public sen,i-
ment as were those, who in former days bore
the brunt of The battle. Anti-slavery is now
popular in England-it is said the very
scoundrels there are abolitionists. Reputa-
tons are no longer jeopardized or sacrificed
because of anti-slavery profession, but he
who refuses to make it is regarded as def
cient in the christian virtues. Whether those
Friends who are now anti-slavery in Eng
land, would be so under less favorable cir
cumstances-whetber their abolitionism voald
