Memoir of Priscilla Gurney is an autobiographical account of the life of Priscilla Gurney, written by herself and published in 1856. Priscilla Gurney was a prominent Quaker minister and philanthropist in the 19th century, known for her work in prison reform and education. The book provides a detailed account of Gurney's childhood, growing up in a Quaker family in Norwich, England. It also chronicles her spiritual journey, including her experiences as a Quaker minister and her travels throughout England and Europe. Gurney's work in prison reform is a major theme of the book, and she describes her efforts to improve conditions for prisoners and to promote education and moral reform. She also discusses her involvement in the anti-slavery movement and her work with the poor and disadvantaged. Throughout the book, Gurney emphasizes the importance of living a moral and ethical life, and her faith is a guiding force in her work and her personal relationships. The book provides a unique perspective on the life and work of a prominent 19th-century Quaker woman, and is a valuable historical document for those interested in the history of Quakerism, prison reform, and social justice movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
