James Parnell: Quaker Martyr

""James Parnell: Quaker Martyr"" is a biographical account of the life and death of James Parnell, a prominent figure in the early Quaker movement. Written by Charlotte Fell-Smith, the book explores Parnell's journey from his upbringing in a wealthy family to his conversion to Quakerism and subsequent persecution by authorities. The book delves into the political and religious climate of 17th century England, where Quakers were viewed as a threat to the established Church of England and faced harsh punishment for their beliefs. Parnell's refusal to conform to societal norms and his unwavering commitment to his faith ultimately led to his arrest, trial, and execution at the age of 19. Fell-Smith's book provides insight into the life of a young man who stood up for his beliefs in the face of adversity, and sheds light on the early days of the Quaker movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
