Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Discourse on the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of William Penn, Delivered in the Independence Hall at Philadelphia, on the 24th October, 1844, Before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania
Twice expelled from his father's roof - estranged from his longing and warm affections - deprived of the means of daily support - exposed to the derisive finger of his old associates and consigned over and over again to the ignominy of a prison with thieves and murderers; - we see Penn steadily adhering to his principles, and without abating a jot or tittle, triumphing over the pains which the spirit of inventive tyranny could in?ict.
