Woolman’s analyst of the roots of social evil carefully trace individual responsibility from motive to action and follow the ever-widening consequences of that action. In his essay ‘’ A Plea for the Poor’’ (published posthumously in 1774), he relates poverty to wasteful consumption, bringing the rich and powerful to account and calls for simplicity as a style of life. Published in 1754, his ‘essay ’Considerations on Keeping Negroes’’ published in 1754 and one of the earliest attacks on slavery, he confronts the corruption of the oppressors and the demoralization of the oppressed, and he even raises the question of reparations to the Blacks. This edition of the Journal includes Woolman’s discussion on tax refusal as a form of anti-war protest and civil disobedience. An edition of Woolman's Journal is also published by Pendle Hill (pamphlet 357). ( )
