Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reform in Earnest or Truth Over All: A Friendly Dialogue The manner in which this little work originated was this. The Author was summoned on the Grand Jury at the Guildhall Quarter Sessions, before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and other magistrates and justices, on seventh day (Saturday), the 23rd of the 10th month (October), 1858, and of course objected, as he always has done, to take the oath, in conscientious obedience to our Lord's command, "Swear not at all." On the following second day (Monday), a very incorrect report of this proceeding appeared in one of our daily papers, headed "Quaker Difficulties," which required explanation. This report, however, pretty plainly indicated two things: first, that the reporter did not understand what he was writing about sufficiently to attempt to abridge it (it would have been better to have given it verbatim); and, secondly, it showed that the officer did not either understand the affirmation, or how to aduiinistcr it properly.
