Passion and Partings: The dying sayings of early Quakers, by Jane Mace

Author: Jane Mace. Review by Judith Roads

by Judith Roads 18th September 2020

This is an extraordinary little book that defies classification. Piety Promoted was a collection of volumes from the seventeenth century, full of ‘the dying sayings of many of the people called Quakers’. Jane Mace has with great care put together a sample of these words to enable us to look into Quaker social history from a new angle.
