Book Description
Excerpt from Dr. John Fothergill and His Friends: Chapters in Eighteenth Century Life The names of many other friends of Fothergill, who receive a shorter notice, will be found in the Index. Dr. Fothergill was a man of wide interests. In order to render the picture of his life and influence as complete as possible, the author has combined a notice of his medical activities with his other pursuits, notwithstanding that the former may seem to be too technical for inclusion in so general a work. Portions of the chapters on his medical work have already been read before the Royal Society of Medicine and the Hunterian Society, or have been included in papers published in the Practitioner and the Lancet. The sources of information are stated In footnotes, especially at the end of a chapter. The bibliography and the manuscript sources are more fully dealt with in the Appendix, where also will be found the text of the Conciliation Proposals for preventing the American War, I 7 74 - 1 7 7 7, now printed from the original documents.

Gender, Religion, and Radicalism in the Long Eighteenth Century
Author: Judith JenningsPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351157582
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Through analysis of the life and writings of eighteenth-century Quaker artist and author Mary Knowles, Judith Jennings uncovers concrete but complex examples of how gender functioned in family, social, and public contexts during the Georgian Age. Knowles's story, including her bold confrontation of Samuel Johnson and public dispute with James Boswell, serves as a lens through which to view larger connections, such as the social transformation of English Quakers, changing concepts of gender and the transmission of radical political ideology during the era of the American and French revolutions. Further, Jennings offers a more nuanced view of the participation of "middling" women in radical politics through an examination of Knowles's theological beliefs, social networks and political opinions at a time when the American and French Revolutions reshaped political ideology. By analyzing Mary Knowles's connections-both male and female-Jennings contributes new understanding about how sociability operated, encompassing women and men of various faiths and ethnic origins.
