==Life==
Jacob Post was born at Whitefriars in London on 12 September 1774. His parents, John and Rosamund Post, enrolled him at the relatively new Ackworth School in Yorkshire which was run by the Society of Friends. By 1787 Post moved to Islington and wrote in support of the emerging evangelical section of the Quakers. In 1812 he founded a local section of the Bible Society. In 1837, his eighteen-year-old son died and the following year he published ''Extracts from the Diary of Frederick James Post'' under joint authorship.
In 1840 his portrait was included with other notables in a painting of the 1840 Anti-Slavery Convention in London.〔 His wife, Elizabeth Post, died in 1844 and Post died on 1 April 1855 at his house in Islington. Besides two children's books, Post published several other books including a memoir of the founders of the ''Society of Friends'' George Fox and William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania.〔Charlotte Fell-Smith, ‘Post, Jacob (1774–1855)’, rev.
