ABSTRACT This article explores the life of Sir Edward Fry (1827–1918), England’s first Quaker judge. The argument is advanced that Fry’s legal life is best understood by setting it within the context of nineteenth-century Quakerism. While some of these Quaker influences are apparent in Fry’s public campaigns against wrongdoing, others are less apparent. The construction of his Treatise on Specific Performance was influenced by his study of natural science, a study inherently linked to his Quakerism. To understand the individual’s actions one must understand the forces that shaped him.

爱德华·弗莱爵士：法律、科学和宗教

摘要 本文探讨了英格兰第一位贵格会法官爱德华·弗莱爵士 (Sir Edward Fry, 1827–1918) 的生平。提出的论点是，将弗莱的法律生活置于 19 世纪贵格会主义的背景下，可以最好地理解它。虽然其中一些贵格会影响在弗莱反对不法行为的公开运动中很明显，但其他一些则不太明显。他对具体表演的论文的构建受到了他对自然科学研究的影响，这项研究与他的贵格会主义有着内在的联系。要了解个人的行为，就必须了解塑造他的力量。
