''An Appeal On The Subject Of The Accumulation Of Wealth'' is a book written by William Phillips in 1824. The book is addressed to the Society of Friends, commonly known as Quakers, and aims to persuade them to reconsider their views on the accumulation of wealth. Phillips argues that accumulating wealth goes against the principles of the Quaker faith, which emphasizes simplicity, humility, and the importance of community. He believes that the pursuit of wealth can lead to greed, selfishness, and a lack of concern for others. Phillips suggests that Quakers should instead focus on living a simple, frugal lifestyle and using their resources to help those in need. The book is a passionate plea for Quakers to live in accordance with their values and to resist the temptations of wealth and materialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
