“His life well repays study. It is a rich mine, and every page of it seems to be solid gold. Books now-a-days are spun out, and you get little after reading much; but _The Journal of George Fox_ contains ingots of gold—things to be thought on and that will have to be thought on month by month before you get at the bottom of them.”—CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON.

NOTICE TO THE READER.

-------

The present issue of _The Journal of George Fox_ has been printed from the stereotype plates of the Eighth (Bi-Centenary) Edition, slightly corrected, and has been furnished with additional particulars of previous editions of _The Journal_ (see pp. 541-544) and with greatly enlarged Indexes.

To accompany this issue, a map has been prepared to show the places mentioned in _The Journal_, the spelling of the names being mostly taken from the First Edition. This work has necessitated a considerable amount of research and enquiry in order to identify some of the more obscure localities referred to by George Fox. It is hardly to be expected that the positions of all these, after this lapse of time, will accord with the judgment of all readers, but it is hoped that the map may promote the intelligent perusal of these volumes.

_The Journal_ may be obtained with or without the map (see advertisement on page ii.).

INTRODUCTION

TO THE EIGHTH EDITION.

The following Eighth Edition of _The Journal of George Fox_, taken from the Seventh Edition, as prepared by the late Wilson Armistead, of Leeds, has been carefully read and collated with the original or First Edition of that Work. And the reader can be confidently assured, making due allowance for the translation or omission of a few obsolete expressions, that the Work is now, in truth and substance, _the same_ as when it was first printed. A large number of corrections in the spelling of names, and of other chiefly clerical errors, have also been made, bringing all down, so far as practicable, into harmony with the usage of the present date in these respects.
