In the name of fair dealing, justice to true and faithful Christian professors who suffered bonds and death two hundred years ago, and whose memories have ever since suffered at the hands of apologists of persecution, and in the name of the truth of history, I thank Richard Hallowell for "The Quaker Invasion of Massachusetts." It is, as it should be, a full and candid presentation of the facts in the case, and its position cannot be successfully assailed. I regard it as a complete answer to the attempts which have been made to excuse the barbarity of the persecution by slandering and misrepresenting its victims.
