FIRST AMERICAN EDITIONS OF TWO MAJOR QUAKER WORKS IN ONE VOLUME. Barclay's Anarchy was first published in Latin in 1676 and in English in 1678. It remains "one of the earliest formal statements of the position of the Society of Friends, and in many ways it remains the most important and impressive of Quaker manifestos. It stands in its own right, however, as one of the major theological works of an age much given to theological writing" (Magill, Masterpieces 527). Evans 7840, 8008; Hildeburn 1516; Miller 655; Sabin 3363, 62825; Wing B718, B720.
