Continuing the Conversation After reading John Woolman’s Journal , one might wish to explore a number of different areas. First, there is John Woolman himself: his life and further writings. For reasons of copyright-free accessibility, I have used as the primary text for my abridgment of the Journal John G. Whittier’s edition available at https://ccel.org/ccel/ woolman/journal/journal.
