Download or read book William Penn and the Founding of Pennsylvania written by Jean R. Soderlund and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 5, 1681, one day after receiving his royal charter for Pennsylvania, William Penn wrote that he believed God would make his colony "the seed of the nation." Penn wanted his Pennsylvania to be a land where people of differing languages and customs could live together, where men and women could worship as they pleased, where men could participate fully in their government. Such a land, Penn believed, would indeed be blessed. Beginning with his petition to the king in May 1680 and ending with his departure to England in August 1684, this book contains the most important documents describing the founding of Pennsylvania. The letters, orders, petitions, charters, laws, pamphlets, maps, constitutional drafts, legislative journals, newspaper articles, memoranda, deeds, and other business records assembled here include Penn's own explanations of his desire to found a Quaker colony, his invitation to settlers, and his design for government.

Download or read book Old Fashioned Farmers written by Nikolai Gogol and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-17 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol 31 March 1809 – 4 March 1852) was a Ukrainian-born Russian dramatist, novelist and short story writer.Considered by his contemporaries one of the preeminent figures of the natural school of Russian literary realism, later critics have found in Gogol's work a fundamentally romantic sensibility, with strains of Surrealism and the grotesque ("The Nose", "Viy", "The Overcoat," "Nevsky Prospekt"). His early works, such as Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka, were influenced by his Ukrainian upbringing, Ukrainian culture and folklore. His later writing satirised political corruption in the Russian Empire (The Government Inspector, Dead Souls), leading to his eventual exile. The novel Taras Bulba (1835) and the play Marriage (1842), along with the short stories "Diary of a Madman", "The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich", "The Portrait" and "The Carriage", round out the tally of his best-known works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nantucket Lands and Land Owners The North American Indians had no 'written language and consequently no land titles that were based on docu ments. They had no inheritance, and property did not pass from parents to child. Whatever interest they had in land depended on occupation and it was difficult to under stand just in what this title consisted, for they had no permanent location but roamed about at will unless checked by a hostile tribe. The English undoubtedly found trouble in determining who were the owners of the land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
