Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crisis of the Quaker Contest in Manchester: Resulting From the Proceedings of the Monthly Meeting, in Conjunction With the Yearly Meeting's Committee in the Tenth Month, 1836, With an Appendix The importance of the proceedings of Hardshaw East Monthly Meeting of Friends, in conjunction with the Committee of the Yearly Meeting, appointed to visit Lancashire Quarterly Meeting, held by adjournments from the 27th of the Tenth month, to the 2nd of the Eleventh month, inclusive, 1836, induced several individuals to take notes of those proceedings; and they have, at the earnest solicitation of a number of Friends from various parts of the kingdom, prepared a narrative from their memorandums. The compilers of this narrative regret that the recommendation of several Friends, that a short-hand reporter should be employed in the Meeting, was not complied with; they have conscientiously endeavoured to give a faithful representation of the sentiments expressed by each individual; and it is their firm conviction that the report conveys a substantially correct account of the proceedings. In support of the course they have thought proper to take, they present to the reader the following valuable sentiments, with which they have been furnished on the subject of publication, as well as some remarks on the important features of the present controversy. "Much is said against publishing any of the particulars which have taken place in the progress of this controversy; but surely the objection must have been expressed without due reflection; for is there not legitimate reason in favour of publicity? Every question of discussion is either one of Christian principle, or one affecting the rights and privileges of individuals; upon what ground then, can any person desire that these should be carried on in comparative concealment?
