1821Best.-Nr. 61985Various locations and publishers as noted below. 1821-1834. Collection of Quaker Pamphlets Compiled by a Baltimore Friend An interesting sammelband consisting of twenty-nine tracts published variously between 1821 and 1834 all relating in one way or another to the Society of Friends and bound in a matching set of two volumes. The volumes and many of the bound-in pamphlets bear the handwritten signature of "Wm Procter" and each volume of texts is preceded by a table of contents written in ink in the same hand. Some pamphlets also note the year Procter acquired them. The compiler of these two volumes was almost certainly William Procter 1780-1860 of Baltimore Maryland. Born in York England Procter arrived in Baltimore in 1796 at the age of sixteen. He married Anna Wilson in 1809 and together they had six children. Procter was a hardware merchant and an active member of the Baltimore Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends. A death notice in the January 17 1860 issue of the Baltimore Sun described Procter as "a venerable and highly esteemed member of the Society of Friends Orthodox and the oldest hardware importer of Baltimore" distinguished for his "unobtrusive manners and integrity of character." The American Annual Monitor a publication of the Society of Friends in America noted that Procter was "much attached to our religious Society and filled many stations in the church to the satisfaction of his friends." The present collection of tracts and pamphlets reflects Procter's involvement and interest in the affairs of the Baltimore community of Friends. From the published minutes of the Baltimore Yearly Meeting documenting the activities of the Society and polemical tracts relating to the bitter theological controversies that divided the Friends community to pamphlets treating some of the issues and institutions in which members of the Baltimore Meeting were personally financially and politically invested the pamphlets herein offer a unique glimpse into American Quakerism in the 1820s and 30s. Included are pamphlets written in both condemnation and defense of Job Scott a Quaker preacher mystic and quietist from Providence Rhode Island as well as a host of pamphlets concerning the Hicksite schism that splintered the Quaker community in the 1820s. Also included is a publication commemorating the establishment of McKim's School in Baltimore a charity school funded by Quaker John McKim and his sons Isaac and William and another pamphlet on the collapse of the Union Bank of Maryland headed by Baltimore Quaker Thomas Ellicott. Most of the pamphlets were published either in Baltimore or Philadelphia with others published - one each - in Wilmington Delaware; Trenton New Jersey; and Mount Pleasant Ohio. A handful of others lack publication information. Early printer's imprints include those of William Brown Philadelphia Thomas Kite Philadelphia T. Murphy Baltimore and R. Porter & Son Wilmington.
