This short booklet, originally entitled A Brief Apology In Behalf of the People in Derision called Quakers, was published in 1702 by William Chandler, Alexander Pyot, Joseph Hodges, along with some other Friends, who had been falsely calumniated by other congregations in their area. Many doctrinal works have been published by Friends to explain and defend their doctrinal stances on a variety of points (See particularly the Apology of Robert Barclay, The Original and Present State of Man, by Joseph Phipps, and the Complete works of Isaac Penington). But perhaps no publication of the Society of Friends has so clearly and succinctly described their beliefs on such a wide variety of subjects, nor defended them with such clarity and candor, using a multitude of Scripture citations.

Friends Library Publishing exists to freely share the writings of early members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), believing that no other collection of Christian writings more accurately communicates or powerfully illustrates the soul-transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
