In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

92 BULLETIN OF FRIENDS' HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION it is presumably intended to be rather an exposition of the testimony than an argument for it, President Comfort has nevertheless made his discussion movingly convincing. Rufus Jones is quoted on the jacket as saying of this book: "Those who are wise will want to own it, not to borrow it. It is a gem of a book." With this judgment the present reviewer gladly agrees. T. K. B. QUAKER ARCHIVES IN PENNSYLVANIA THE PROPOSED "Inventory of Quaker Archives in Pennsylvania ," which President Comfort commented upon at the last annual meeting of Friends' Historical Association, will soon be published by the Pennsylvania Historical Survey under the sponsorship of our Association. The book will contain approximately four hundred pages, and will include brief histories of all the Friends' meetings in the State, together with an inventory of their minutes and other records which are known to exist. Local meetings are included which belong or once belonged to eight different Yearly Meetings in the State—the two Philadelphia Yearly Meetings, the General Meeting of Friends (Primitive Friends, now centered at Fallsington), the Yearly Meeting of Progressive Friends at Longwood, the two Baltimore Yearly Meetings, and Orthodox and Hicksite Yearly Meetings of Ohio. A map of Quaker meetings throughout the State will be included, as well as a list of organizations in which Friends have been interested. The editorial work for this volume has involved several years' labor on the part of the editor, Lewis C. Moon, and his assistants in the Pennsylvania Historical Survey. Friends' Historical Association , in sponsoring its publication, has provided the funds for printing and binding the volume, an expense which has been borne by certain interested members and Friends' organizations. Orders for the Inventory may be sent to the Secretary of Friends' Historical Association, Haverford College, Haverford, Pennsylvania, at two dollars a copy; but libraries, historical societies, and members of Friends' Historical Association may order from the Secretary at one dollar a copy.
