101. A Portraiture Of Quakerism Complete online text of Thomas Clarkson s 1806 work on Quaker beliefs and customs. http://www.worldspirituality.org/quakerism.html

A Portraiture of Quakerism Taken from a View of the Education and Discipline, Social Manners, Civil and Political Economy, Religious Principles and Character, of the Society of Friends by Thomas Clarkson, M.A. INTRODUCTION PREFATORY ARRANGEMENTS AND REMARKS MORAL EDUCATION. CHAPTER I Amusements distinguishable into useful and hurtful — the latter specified and forbidden. CHAPTER II SECT. I. Games of chance forbidden — history of the origin of some of these. SECT. II. Forbidden as below the dignity of the intellect of man, and of his Christian character. SECT. III. As producing an excitement of the passions, unfavorable to religious impressions — historical anecdotes of this excitement. SECT. IV. As tending to produce, by the introduction of habits of gaming, an alteration in the moral character. CHAPTER III - Quaker View of Music SECT. I. Music forbidden — instrumental innocent in itself, but greatly abused — the use of it almost inseparable from its abuse at the present day. SECT. II. Quakers cannot learn instrumental on the usual motives of the world — nor consider it as a source of moral improvement, or of solid comfort to the mind—but are fearful that, if indulged in, it would interfere with the Christian duty of religious retirement. SECT III. Quakers cannot learn vocal, because, on account of its articulative powers, it is capable of becoming detrimental to morals — its tendency to this, as discoverable by an analysis of different classes of songs.
