She joined the Quakers in 1785, and was acknowledged as a Minister in 1794. Her story was published in 1847, edited by Katharine Backhouse, and entitled A Memoir of Mary Capper: late of Birmingham, a Minister of the Society of Friends. Mary became friends with Aimee and Félicité Dupont, French sisters who had been teachers at a school in Park Street, Bristol, run by the sisters of Hannah More.

* Handkerchief. Anti Corn Laws propaganda handkerchief, circa 1830s/40s, cream cotton handkerchief, printed in brown with sprigs of wheat ears, and decorative cornerpieces lettered 'free trade, no corn laws, no monopoly', selvedges to sides, hand-stitched hem to top and bottom, a few short tears and small holes to edges, 77.5 x 88.5 cm (30.5 x 34.75 ins), together with:William Ewart Gladstone propaganda handkerchief, circa 1880, cream cotton handkerchief with red border, printed with a head and shoulders portrait of Gladstone, with quotation below: '"Mr. Gladstone may not succeed in carrying the House, or re-uniting his Party, or even winning the solid support of the British people for the present, but his work will stand and bear fruit if he has disabused England of her old Turkish prepossessions, and delivered her soul from one of its most evil, most unprofitable, and most dishonourable illusions." - The Times', lightly toned and foxed, 73.5 x 62 cm (29 x 24.5 ins)QTY: (2)NOTE:Provenance: Collection of Quaker antiquary Martha Spriggs (1777-1866), Worcester, by family descent.Two rare printed handkerchiefs, both of which have subjects which still seem pertinant today; we have been unable to find either at auction or in institutions.The Corn Laws, which imposed tariffs and other trade restrictions on imported food and corn in the United Kingdom between 1815 and 1846, were designed to keep prices high in order to help domestic producers. However, whilst enhancing profits for landowners, the policy led to inflated food prices, thereby increasing poverty and deprivation amongst the majority of the population, as well as hampering the growth of British industry by reducing disposable income. As a result, the Anti-Corn Law League was founded in 1838. The League was based in Manchester and had support from numerous industrialists, especially in the textile industry, which perhaps explains the production of this handkerchief. Its campaigning helped lead to the Corn Laws being repealed in 1846 by Prime Minister Robert Peel.The second handkerchief refers to Gladstone's campaign to end British economic support for the Ottoman government in response to a series of atrocities carried out by the Turks during their suppression of the Bulgarian April Uprising in 1876; despite dismay from the British public, Benjamin Disraeli's government continued its support for the Ottoman Empire, an ally in the Crimean War and a bulwark against possible Russian expansion in the area. Gladstone's dogged focus on the issue, and the series of lengthy speeches he made around the country in 1880, are credited with swaying a large number of undecided voters to the Liberals in the General Election of 1880 thereby ousting Disraeli in favour of his predecessor, Gladstone.

This may have been used to carry the usual accoutrements required by a lady - handkerchief, gloves, etc. - but its unusual form suggests that it may also have been intended to hold letters or ephemeral keepsakes such as tickets or programmes.
