The Peculium is a book written by Thomas Hancock in 1859, which aims to shed light on the reasons behind the decline of the Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. The book discusses the history of the Quaker movement, its principles and practices, and the challenges it faced over time. It explores the impact of various factors, such as the rise of industrialization, changes in social norms, and the emergence of new religious movements, on the decline of the Quaker community. The author also offers insights into how the Society of Friends could adapt and evolve to address these challenges and maintain its relevance in modern times. The Peculium is a thought-provoking and informative read for anyone interested in the history of Quakerism or the broader context of religious and social change in the 19th century.Especially In Regard To Its Original Claim Of Being The Peculiar People Of God.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
