History ... online ...



A brief on-line publication with a deliberate focus on Britain is "Quakers in Brief, or Quakerism made Easy" (an over-view of the Quaker movement from 1650 to 1990) by David M Murray-Rust from Birkenhead Quaker Meeting, Merseyside, UK, written 1995.
It can be viewed here (on the UK Web Archive, accessed November 2009).
