Thomas Shillitoe

Thomas Shillitoe: Shoemaker and Minister is a biographical account of the life of Thomas Shillitoe, written by Frances Anne Budge and originally published in 1892. Shillitoe was a prominent Quaker minister and shoemaker who lived in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The book traces his life from his humble beginnings as a shoemaker in London to his rise as a respected member of the Quaker community and his travels as a minister throughout England, Europe, and America. Drawing on Shillitoe's own writings and correspondence, as well as contemporary accounts, Budge paints a vivid picture of a man who was deeply committed to his faith and his community, and who worked tirelessly to promote peace, justice, and equality. The book also provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and political climate of the time, and the role that Quakers played in shaping it. Overall, Thomas Shillitoe: Shoemaker and Minister is a compelling and inspiring portrait of a remarkable man and his times.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
