Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Concise Biographical Sketch of William Penn But He who watches over the workmanship of his hand, and seeks to save that which is lost, was not leaving William Penn to wander in the paths of folly, without the reproofs of instruction, and in mercy, by his witness in the heart, inclining him to accept those reproofs as the way to life; and it was not long before he was brought to a stand, and made to feel that he must then make his election between the life of a votary of this world and that of a self-denying disciple of a crucified Saviour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Sketch of William Penn: The Founder of Pennsylvania The great men of every nation, whether sages, warriors, lawgivers, artists, or authors, may be regarded as the landmarks of its history. Their characters are among its invaluable treasures; and as they pass away, each furnishing his contribution to the universal fund of moral and intellectual wealth, they enlarge the circle of benefactions to mankind by leaving imperishable examples of virtue. For the rich legacy of their fame, surviving generations, in bestowing the meed of praise which is due, but magnify their own possessions. To commemorate and defend their memory, is the interest, as well as the duty, of those who come after them. Of all the titles to veneration of the great and good, who are distinguished in the world's annals as national benefactors, none, in my judgment, is so lofty and honorable, (next to that of the Father of his country, ) as in the phrase of Lord Bacon, the conditor imperiorum, the Founder of a State. No other is so identified with the glory of his country, even when his personal history is involved in myth and fable, like that of Romulus, the Founder of Rome, or Lycurgus, of Lacedaemon. In modern history, the title has been, it may be said, exclusively bestowed upon the subject of this sketch, the illustrious William Penn. In the origin of every political society, there have been some one or more prominent men, whose preeminence is conceded. So in the settlement of the provinces that now compose this great confederated Union; in all of which, it were easy to point out the leading spirits of the respective communities, who gave them their form and pressure, and shaped their special destiny.

Download or read book William Penn written by William Hepworth Dixon and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Penn: An Historical Biography, From New Sources; With an Extra Chapter on the "Macaulay Charges" William Penn has been called a mythical rather than an historical personage. The accounts given of him by his professed biographers - Besse, Clarkson, Weems, and Lewis - are sufficiently vague, lifeless, and transcendental to merit such a censure. By far the best and most complete of these works is that by Clarkson; but it has serious defects. Beyond a reverential sympathy with Penn's religious ideas, the modern philanthropist had no advantages for the task he undertook. He was profoundly unacquainted with the history of the period; he copied the ignorance of Besse and others without misgiving and without acknowledgment. Of the families of Penn and Springett he know absolutely nothing; of their fortunes and misfortunes, though daily affecting his hero's life and character, no trace appears in his pages. He had read only a few books, and those were of the commonest kind. Of the vast collections of MS. papers in the British Museum, in the Bodleian Library, in the State Paper Office, in the Privy Council and other government offices, and in the library of the Philosophical Society of Philadelphia, - throwing ample and authentic light on his career, - he had no knowledge, and of course made no use. I believe I may safely assert that two-thirds of the facts now known about Penn were not known to Clarkson. His want of information, however, was not altogether his fault. Since he wrote his memoir, now forty years ago, the sources of our history, and more particularly of the seventeenth century, have been much more critically investigated.

Download or read book Certain Black Letter Days in the Life of William Penn Classic Reprint written by Frank Willing Leach and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Certain Black-Letter Days in the Life of William Penn IN dwelling upon the Colonial history of Pennsylvania, the mind's vision covers a radius of practically a century, or, from the time certain of the early colonists in West New Jersey gravitated across the Delaware into what is now Bucks county, say, in 1677 or 1678, until the Declaration of Independence, in 1776. It was an eventful, formative period, and many notable characters appeared upon the public stage, from time to time, as dominating factors in the scheme of evolutionary development. Chief among these, however, stands out conspicuously the forerunner of them all, the great governmental path finder, except for whose foresight, zeal, and determination there would have been no subsequent history to narrate. It has occurred to me to present, not a perfunctory bio graphical sketch of William Penn, but certain of the more notable incidents in his career, particularly those phases of his life which had a more or less direct bearing upon, or were largely influenced by, his identification with the common wealth founded by him. For reasons of my own I shall give my paper this some what uninviting title: Certain black-letter Events in the Life of William Penn.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Penn: The Founder of Pennsylvania America naturally recalls attention to the story of his life. I have been requested by my publishers to prepare a new work on the subject: and Quaker descent on my mother's side, the study for many years of opinions entertained by the Society of Friends, and sympathy with the founder of Pennsylvania in his love of peace, and his advocacy of civil and re ligious freedom, have rendered the task pleasant and interesting. The writings of Penn, and his life by Thomas Clarkson, in two volumes, 1813, supply a basis for the whole work. But important supplementary know ledge has been added since. The controversy raised by Lord Macaulay touching Penn's relations with James II. Illustrated those points in many ways and the Right Hon. W. E. Forster especially, in his ex haustive pamphlet on the subject, published in 1849, supplied much original information for subsequent writers. Hepworth Dixon's popular and eloquent Historical Biography, founded on Family and State Papers, did not add much to what was known be fore; but Hazard's Annals of Pennsylvania, 1850.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of William Penn: With a Sketch of Early History of Pennsylvania The following Memoir is chiefly taken from eu anonymous work published in London se tyeral years since. For the alterations and additions made by myself, 1 have relied prin cipaflly on the authority of Graham and Proud. The Sketch of the early histoiiy or penn sylvania, is part of a work commenced some years since for the use of schools, but never completed. I thought that it would make an appropriate introduction to the life of the great Founder of Pennsylvania, as it furnishes the reader with the leading facts in the history of the State antecedent to the arrival of Penn; and brings the narrative down to the period of that important and auspicious event.
