S. - ^^\ PREFACE The names of the Quaker politicians in this book have applicabilitybeen selected with the view of showing the (or otherwise) to the practical affairs of government of the principles which to some extent ruled their lives. That they were all, from William Penn down, more or less of idealists, is a fact of which they themselves were very conscious. As all idealistic attempts have their les- sons either of adoption or avoidance, this one may be worth recording. As a whole the experiment succeeded. As in politics in general there was temporizing. Their anti-martial views were the most difficult to apply consistently and finally were the cause of their abstention from public affairs; but there interesting deductions be drawn both from theare to threescore years of success and the ultimate break-down.
