Books by Harold W. Brace

Volume 1 of the three volume transcription of the minutes covers the period from 1669 to 1689. It opens with the following statement A booke of records for the monthly meeting on the North West Parts of the County of Lyncolne wherein for the information of such as are concerned is recorded severall things as well of publique as of particular concernment in relation to the pretious truth & those that make profession thereof. In these volumes are recorded in detail the activities of the Friends including their income, charitable giving, marriages and admonition of those not meeting their high standards.

This is the final volume in the trilogy covering the last ten years of the text. The index of persons has been expanded to give some biographical details of Lincolnshire Quakers mentioned in the 3 volumes. Appendices I and II contain matter from other contemporary sources to illustrate or amplify features not covered by the Minutes themselves. Various printed books are referred to incidentally in volumes II and III and these have been fully identified in Appendix IV.
