===''Book of Miracles''=== George Fox performed hundreds of healings throughout his preaching ministry, the records of which were collected in a notable but now lost book titled ''Book of Miracles''. This book was listed in the catalogue of George Fox's work maintained by the Library of the Society of Friends at Friends House, London. In 1932, Henry Cadbury found a reference to ''Book of Miracles'' in the catalogue, which included the beginning and ending of each account of a miraculous cure. The book was then reconstructed based on this resource and journal accounts. According to Rufus M. Jones, the Book of Miracles "makes it possible for us to follow George Fox as he went about his seventeenth-century world, not only preaching his fresh messages of life and power, but as a remarkable healer of disease with the undoubted reputation of miracle-worker." The ''Book of Miracles'' was deliberately suppressed in favour of printing Fox's ''Journal'' and other writings.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Cadbury|first=Henry J.|title=George Fox's 'Book of Miracles'|publisher=Quakers Uniting in Publications|year=2000|pages=v}}</ref> A sample from ''Book of Miracles'': "And a young woman her mother ... had made her well.
