What Fox and the other Quakers preached was so revolutionary in the seventeenth century that they were beaten and imprisoned for it. It is still revolutionary today. Faith is not believing in one creed or another. It is the result of your own religious experience. God's word is not a printed thing in a book. It is not any traditional sacrament. It is only in your own experience. In short, God speaks to you and me, just as he spoke to Moses and Jesus. What does he say? That is up to you to find out. If it isn't in your own experience, forget it.

Publishers’ Binding Thursday

This week’s publishers’ binding is an edition of How Private Geo. W. Peck Put Down the Rebellion or, the Funny Experiences of a Raw Recruit published in Chicago by Thompson and Thomas in 1900. The volume also includes Peck’s Boss Book. Both were written by Wisconsin writer and politician George W. Peck. How Private Peck Put Down the Rebellion was illustrated by True Williams, who also illustrated many of Mark Twain’s books, and Peck’s Boss Book was illustrated by H.E. Patterson. 

In 1863 George W. Peck enlisted in the 4th Wisconsin Cavalry Regiment as a private and this book includes humorous sketches extremely loosely based on his time in the Union Army. Peck owned and edited several newspapers in Wisconsin in which he published his famous Peck’s Bad Boy series among others. Following his newspaper career, Peck was mayor of Milwaukee and shortly thereafter governor of Wisconsin. 

The binding is a blue-green color with the title stamped in gold at the top of the cover, with an illustration of a man trying to get on a horse stamped in black below. The spine features the title stamped in gold and an illustration of something exploding above a soldier’s head stamped in black. Also in the book is the bookplate of Philip J. Hohlweck, who donated the book to our collection. It features a map-ish design with a ship and has this lovely sentiment: “There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away.”

We are a Society of Friends. We are not completely on our own. As Quakers say, we are 'bound unto God and unto each other'. We are all together in our experience of the Inner Light. We are all friends.
