Title: THE ANCIENT TESTIMONY AND PRINCIPLES OF THE PEOPLE CALLED QUAKERS, RENEWED, WITH RESPECT TO THE KING AND GOVERNMENT; AND TOUCHING THE COMMOTIONS NOW PREVAILING IN THESE AND OTHER PARTS OF AMERICA. ADDRESSED TO THE PEOPLE IN GENERAL.
Author: [American Revolution]: Pemberton, John:
Seller: William Reese Company (United States)
Description: [Philadelphia. , 1776].. The Quakers Defend "our just and necessary subordination to the king" in Response to the Publication of Common Sense A pacifist manifesto issued by John Pemberton as clerk of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, addressing the "commotions now prevailing," a reference to the publication of Thomas Paine's Common Sense, which had appeared just ten days earlier. The statement concludes: "May we therefore firmly unite in abhorrence of all such writings, and measures as evidence a desire and design to break off the happy connection we have heretofore enjoyed with the kingdom of Great Britain, and our just and necessary subordination to the king." "As rumblings of war and revolution increased in the 1770s the Friends drew more and more into their earlier position of passive resistance. By 1776, they had become thoroughly alarmed at the now warlike atmosphere of the colonies....[The publication of The Ancient Testimony] put the Quakers (in the minds of most of the extremists) squarely on the Tory side....It was against this that Tom Paine wrote his Epistle to the Quakers in which he accused that 'factional and fractional' part of the 'whole body of Quakers,' which had been responsible for the publication of the testimony, of being traitors to their own principles" - Falk. The Ancient Testimony would be republished within Large Additions to Common Sense, but the present first separate printing is quite rare. Considered by many revolutionaries to be a treasonous document, its rarity suggests it was possibly suppressed or destroyed. ESTC identifies five variants, with the present copy conforming to variant two, with three lines of a second paragraph of text on the first page with catchword "and." We can trace just one copy at auction in over fifty years—at the 2010 auction of Magnificent American Historical Documents from the James S. Copley library. Old folds, lightly dustsoiled. Very good.
