This scrap can be linked to the article "George Fox and Shakspere" in the section entitled "Elias Hicks" in
November Boughs
, published 1888.
Whitman is referring to a translation of Voltaire's
Philosophical Dictionary
(Boston: J. P. Mendum, 1852), where the passage on pages 197-198 clearly discusses Quakers or "primitives."
