The Quaker

From Jefferson to Kościuszko, 13 April 1811

'However . . we may have been reproached for pursuing our Quaker system, time will affix the stamp of wisdom on it, and the happiness and prosperity of our citizens will attest its merit.'

From Shelley to Miss Hitchener, 26 January 1812

'An Address to the Irish People . . . is intended . . also as a preliminary to other pamphlets to . . induce Quakerish and Socinian principles of politics, without objecting to the Christian religion.'
