The Journal of John Woolman: Final Thoughts

 This whole thing definitely didn't need to be in T5FSOB. I think if you were making an anthology with shorter pieces/excerpts, you could probably sneak in one chapter (I'd say 2, where he's refusing to write the wills, or 8, where he's dealing with the Indians), but as a whole it's very repetitive, not very well written, and kind of pointless.

1/5 on the pretentious classics scale. Next up, William Penn! (This entire volume is Pennsylvania adjacent.)
