"All's Well! All's Well!"

Abstract

pecially, and in the literature of the Society of Friends. He held at his death the office of vice-president of the Friends' Historical Society (London), and would have been elected president for 1921. He quite hoped to occupy the chair in person at the close of his year in office. He was one of the many links connecting the Yearly Meetings of Baltimore and London. Professor Thomas' wide knowledge of Friends' history and literature was always most gladly placed at the disposal of English students, and he was constantly in correspondence with the Librarians at Devonshire House, answering, sometimes after considerable search and enquiry, the many questions submitted to him. He was also the means of adding materially to the literary possessions of London Yearly Meeting, preserved at Devonshire House. A. C. Thomas' death was referred to at a recent meeting of the Library Committee of the London Meeting for Sufferings, and a minute of record passed in which occur the words,—" His wide and accurate knowledge of Friends' history, and his unfailing willingness to render help, made him one of our most frequent and valuable correspondents." The latest service rendered to British Quakerism by our friend was that of interesting American Friends in the proposed purchase of the original manuscripts of " The Journal of George Fox." In this service he had the valuable help of Rufus M. Jones, the result of their work being the acquisition of these relics by the Devonshire House Reference Library. Norman Penney.
