""A Review And Refutation Of Some Of The Opprobrious Charges Against The Society Of Friends"" is a book written by William Gibbons in 1847. The book is a response to the criticisms and accusations made against the Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers. Gibbons, who was a Quaker himself, addresses various allegations made against the Quakers, including their supposed lack of patriotism, their opposition to war, their views on slavery, and their religious practices. The book is divided into several chapters, each addressing a different accusation made against the Quakers. Gibbons uses historical evidence and religious texts to refute these accusations and provide a more accurate understanding of the Quaker beliefs and practices. He argues that Quakers are not unpatriotic, but rather prioritize their allegiance to God over their allegiance to a government. He also defends the Quaker stance against war, arguing that violence is antithetical to their belief in nonviolence and that they have played a role in promoting peace throughout history. Additionally, Gibbons addresses the accusation that Quakers are in favor of slavery, arguing that the Quakers have been at the forefront of the abolitionist movement and have worked to end slavery since the 18th century. He also provides insight into Quaker religious practices, such as their use of plain language and their rejection of outward religious symbols. Overall, ""A Review And Refutation Of Some Of The Opprobrious Charges Against The Society Of Friends"" is a defense of the Quaker faith and an attempt to correct misconceptions and falsehoods about the religion. It provides a valuable insight into the beliefs and practices of the Quakers and their contributions to society throughout history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
