Professor Fraser Brockington (1903-2004) was a pioneering public health academic who retired to the Isle of Man and practiced bookbinding. A record of the events concerning Isaac Crewdson (1780-1844) who was a prominent member of the Hardshaw East monthly meeting and was listed as a minister by them. He was deeply influenced by the evangelical ideas prevalent in America and gradually became more extreme in his beliefs, publishing a pamphlet entitled 'A Beacon to the Society of Friends' in 1835. The pamphlet caused conflict with more traditional Quakers and eventually Crewdson was asked to withdraw his pamphlet and to suspend his ministry, both of which he refused to do. Following this Crewdson and his family along with others who felt the same resigned from the Society of Friends. The Beaconites, as they became known, did not flourish though they started a magazine entitled 'The Inquirer' and opened a chapel. Crewdson's life took a downward turn affecting both his health and his business. A few small tears to gutter at rear, otherwise very good. Light wear otherwise very good.
