| Item Description: | Founded and edited by Enoch Lewis, the Friends' Review represented the more tolerant and progressive elements of the Society of Friends. Samuel Rhoads succeeded to the editorship in 1856 and conducted the journal through the Civil War. The Philadelphia weekly consistently maintained its testimony against both slavery and war throughout these years. When emancipation came in 1863, it turned to projects for aiding the freedmen. Successive editors to Lewis and Rhoads were William J. Allinson, Henry Hartshorne, James E. Rhoads, and Rufus M. Jones. The Review, which was a well-printed small quarto of sixteen pages, gave much space to reports of activities of Friends in various sections of the country and published biographical accounts, journals, poems, and a summary of foreign and domestic news. In 1894 the Friends' Review was superseded by American Friend. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900. Title from caption. Editors: Sept. 1847- Enoch Lewis; Samuel Rhoads. |
