This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Collections of the State of Pennsylvania The proverb says Charity begins at home. The study of history ought to begin at home also yet how many men are there in this state, as in others, who are far more familiar with the history of England, or with the career of Alexander, Caesar, or Napoleon, than with the events that have occurred upon the very fields which they themselves are tilling And this arises not so much from the want of intelligence On the part of the people, as from the lack of proper books and documents within their reach. It is believed, therefore, that a Work of the kind here pre sented is needed by the intelligent yeomanry of the state, for whose use it is especially intended and the compiler hopes that, while it may serve to enliven their long winter evenings, it will awaken in their minds a spirit of inquiry into the history of their own immediate neighborhoods, and at the same time furnish them with a fund of instructive incidents relating to the more dis tant sections of the state.

Download or read book Joseph and His Friend written by Bayard Taylor and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Joseph and His Friend: A Story of Pennsylvania" is an novel by American author Bayard Taylor, a prolific writer in many genres. It presented a special attachment between two men and discussed the nature and significance of such a relationship, romantic but not sexual. Critics are divided in interpreting Taylor's novel as a political argument for gay relationships or an idealization of male spirituality. The book was not well received and became the author's least successful and most disliked novel. However, in recent years it has regained popularity as America's first gay novel.
Download or read book Gazetteer of the State of Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by Thomas F. Gordon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gazetteer of the State of Pennsylvania IN offering to the public this first attempt at a Gazetteer of Pennsylvania, the publisher trusts it will be received with the indulgence due to the enterprize. The reflecting reader will justly appreciate the difficulties in procuring minute and accurate topographical and statistical information; and will not be surprized if, notwithstanding the efforts of the compiler, by visits to many parts of the state, by personal intercourse with official and intelligent gentlemen of every county, and by laborious research among the public records, some inaccuracies Should be found in the work. It is due to the compiler, however, to say, that circumstances have pre vented him from revising the work in its progress through the press, and, that for errors produced by that cause he is not responsible. In the first edition of such a work error is unavoidable; but the publisher flatters himself, that there is not more in this than in others of like character, and that it will prove useful and satisfactory to the public.

Download or read book The State Works of Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by Avard Longley Bishop and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State Works of Pennsylvania What is known technically in the history of Pennsylvania as the state works comprised a system of transportation which was built, owned and operated by the commonwealth. Public works and internal improvements are other names commonly applied to the system. The writer has, therefore, used these three terms interchangeably. The popular movement for the state itself to provide an adequate means Of transportation to the growing West may be said to have commenced in Pennsylvania in 1823. The work of construction was undertaken in 1826 and within a few years an extensive sys tem Of canals and railways was built and in operation. By 1859, however, there was not a single mile of public-owned canal or railway in the commonwealth. It is thus seen that the present study is limited to a definite field which furnishes an historical example Of public ownership and control of a transportation system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To the People of Pennsylvania We have lines of rail roads and canals upwards of 700 'miles in length, and yet they do not net an income of more than about one fifiahzefvthe interest on the capital invested in-their construction. Why is this thing so? It is because a radical error was committed in the onset; which has been carried out in all subsequent move ments, and which renders at this moment the most splendid works, in the Union, probably in the world, a burthen upon the people who should have been blessed by their possession. What is that error? The answer is 'a short and simple one. The interest, or rather the supposed interest, of an individual member has been looked to, at thesacrrfice'of that of all the others. I'say supposed interest; for Irwillmet-admitfthata policy so sinister as that which tends to cre ase a pernicious and grinding monopoly, can conduce permanently to the true interest'of any people.

Download or read book The Early Courts of Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by William H. Loyd and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Courts of Pennsylvania This account of the early courts of Pennsylvania is the outcome of some lectures delivered as an auxiliary course in the Law School of the University of Pennsylvania. Their purpose was to describe briefly the establishment and development of the courts in the colonial period. That our ancestors should have expressed such profound admiration for the common law while deviating so widely from it in practice, must have puzzled many who have not learned to put a true value upon the flights of forensic oratory. History alone supplies the key, and colonial legal history has not received the attention it deserves. The absence of reports, the destruction of many records and the inaccessibility of those that have been preserved, have all contributed to discourage work in a field usually abandoned to the antiquarian. But as American law increases in importance, the story of its obscure beginnings will require careful consideration.

Download or read book History of the Province of Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by Samuel Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Province of Pennsylvania The History of the Province of Pennsylvania has been printed from Samuel Smith's manuscript in the library of The Historical Society of Pennsylvania. As an examination of his history of New Jersey indicates, this manuscript would have been carefully edited by the author before publication, but it has been deemed best to follow the orthography and punctuation of the original. The author divided his work into two parts, of which this is the first. The second part contains: The introduction, and some account of the religious progress of the people called Quakers therein, [Pennsylvania] including the like account respecting the same people in New Jersey, as constituting one yearly meeting. This second portion was printed by Samuel Hazard in The Register of Pennsylvania, Volumes VI and VII, 1830-1831, with the exception of Chapters XVI and XVII, which were omitted as they contain nothing but a letter from Elizabeth Webb, giving an account of her religious experience, to Dr. Boehm, and his reply, both of which have we understand been published in a pamphlet; and as directions are likewise given to the transcriber of Smith's Ms. to omit copying them. Samuel Smith, the author of The History of the Province of Pennsylvania, was of Quaker stock, the great-grandson of Richard Smith of Bramham in the West Riding of Yorkshire, one of the original proprietaries of West Jersey and a signer of The Concessions and Agreements of the Proprietors, Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Province of West New Jersey, in America, 1676. He had by his wife Anne Yeates, Samuel Smith of Bramham, who settled in West Jersey in 1694, married Elizabeth Lovett, and was a member of the General Assembly for several years.
