These essays by a distinguished team of scholars discuss the diverse interests and activities of the English Quaker Merchant, Benjamin Furly (1636-1714). Book collector, defender of religious freedom, political radical, Furly was at the centre of a network which included John Locke, Anthony Ashley Cooper, Pierre Bayle, William Penn and John Toland. Also edited here for the first time are writings relating to the Quaker controversy concerning ‘hat honour’ in which Furly defended the radical Quaker John Perrot.
