The Journal of John Woolman
by John Woolman
Published posthumously in 1774 by the Philadelphia Quaker printer Joseph Crukshank, the Journal of John Woolman (1720-1772) is a major document of Quaker religious experience, noted for its purity and simplicity of style. Woolman was a New Jersey Quaker and one of colonial America's earliest abolitionists.
The changed life
Woolman was a successful Mount Holly shopkeeper and tailor whose work as a conveyancer, asked to write bills of sale for enslaved people, awakened his conscience. He deliberately scaled back his business to free time for itinerant preaching, becoming a leading antislavery voice within the Society of Friends.
