Abstract
David Willson (1778-1866), who came to Canada in 1801 from New York State, contributed fine buildings, music and hymns, the leadership of a utopian community (the Children of Peace, of Sharon, Ontario), theological books, sermons and poems, and correspondence with William Lyon Mackenzie and Robert Baldwin to the life of the country. He joined the Society of Friends in 1805 and separated from them, with others, in 1812. The impact of Willson’s time with the Quakers was indelible. Two newly-discovered books add to our knowledge of the reasons for the split from Willson’s perspective.
