George B. Burnet expands upon Quakerism discussing four main periods: its rise during the few years of Cromwell's rule: the 'epic' period during the later Stuart dynasty, during which it reached a height and simultaneously underwent its cruellest persecutions in Aberdeen; its gradual decline with occasional surges of social activity; and its dwindling activities in the nineteen...(展開全部) George B. Burnet expands upon Quakerism discussing four main periods: its rise during the few years of Cromwell's rule: the 'epic' period during the later Stuart dynasty, during which it reached a height and simultaneously underwent its cruellest persecutions in Aberdeen; its gradual decline with occasional surges of social activity; and its dwindling activities in the nineteenth century. As the study approaches the end of the nineteenth century, Burnet addresses the ultimate question of why Quakerism failed in Scotland. An Epilogue, written by William H. Marwick - former clerk to the Friends' General Meeting for Scotland - expands still further on the progress of Quakerism in the period 1850-1950, during which the Movement showed a slow but steady increase in its vitality.
