Excerpt from Chronicles of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1 of 2: From the English Revolution to the Peace of Aix-La-Chapelle, 1688-1748 Xviith andxviiith Centuries may be described as a panegyric upon William Penn, the Acta as a wonder worker of Benjamin Franklin, or an epic about George Washington. Much matter, less vivid, but worthy of observation, even any mention of certain years, is omitted. The complete story of successive administra tions and their achievements or failures, of antagonistic religions, alien immigrations, relations with aborigines, and the legislature 's adherence, under repeated tempta tion, to the principle of not engaging in war, is, in con sequence, to be hunted widely in monographs, published correspondence, and parts of a number of books, many on special lines.
