About This Item
1697 IRISH Jacobite Charles Leslie Snake in Grass Quaker Church Ireland AMERICA
Charles Leslie was a 17th-century Irish priest who was notable for being a Jacobite leader following the Glorious Revolution. Beginning in 1697, Leslie began writing his first of seven anti-Quaker propaganda works. It was in these works that Leslie made claims that Quakers were false prophets and conjurers. In addition to Quakers, Leslie defamed other religious groups including Jews, Catholics, and Deists, and his criticisms extended beyond Europe. According to Sabin, 'The Snake in the Grass' gives an account
"New Quakers who mostly reside in Long Island and East Jersey, in America."
