"George Fox"s "Journal," of which an abridgment is now provided, was published in 1694, three years after the author"s death. In a paper dated June 24, 1685, Fox named a committee for the revision, and it was transcribed for the press by Thomas Ellwood. The original manuscript is not in autograph, and has been dictated to successive amanuenses. It is a book of undying interest, of the highest value, both as a historical record and as a religious classic."-From the Introduction.
