The Friends' Library on Google Books
In a comment to a recent post, Friend Marshall Massey mentioned a 14-volume "Friends' Library" published by Orthodox Friends in the mid 1800's. Google books has now digitized all 14 volumes, and thanks to the services of Public Domain Reprints, you can order your own copies. I will update this page more volumes are available for printing.
Also, Marshall quoted from a book entitled "The Life and Travels of John Pemberton, a minister of the Gospel of Christ". Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a copy of that book, but the passage Marshall quoted is also available in Memorials Concerning Deceased Friends.
All of these are available for download as PDFs.

Hi Mark: Wow, I didn't realize they had gone and digitized most of the classic Friends Library collection. Amazing and potentially very useful. I got ahold of a few volumes here and there (all legally) and enjoyed reading the Life of Samuel Bownas (volume 2) as a companion to his "Description of the Qualifications..." I'm really not sure I could curl up with a computer long enough to read a journal that way--I guess we'll see! Thanks for letting us know this is out there!

Volume 14 has now been digitised
Thanks, alastair! I have updated the post to reflect that!
