Book Description
Excerpt from Pennsylvania: Colony and Commonwealth In the previous volume, "The Making of Pennsylvania," a full account was given of the numerous nationalities and religions which made up the population of the province. The Dutch, Swedes, English, Germans, Welsh, and Scotch-Irish, together with their different religions, Quaker, Lutheran, Reformed, Episcopalian, Tunker, Mennonite, Schwenkfelder, Moravian, and Presbyterian, were each considered in detail, and there was also a chapter on the Connecticut Invasion, which introduced a New England element into the population. This discussion was necessary to an intelligent understanding of the history of the State, not only because it showed of what sort of people we were composed, but because many of these divisions, especially the Germans, Scotch-Irish, and Connecticut people, lived an isolated life, forming almost distinct colonies of their own; and in any truthful history of the State it is necessary that this should clearly appear.

Book Description
Excerpt from The German and Swiss, Settlements of Colonial, Pennsylvania: A Study, of the So-Called Penn-Sylvania Dutch The object of this book is to give a complete yet concise view of a too-much-neglected phase of American origins. The author has especially tried to be impartial, avoiding as far as possible mere rhetoric, and allowing the facts to speak for themselves. As a book of this kind can have no real value unless it is reliable, authorities have been freely quoted, even at the risk of making the number of foot-notes larger than is perhaps.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Early History and Reminiscences of Catasauqua in Pennsylvania I was admitted to the Bar of Lehigh County in 1868, and, during a long practice of my profession as an attorney-at-law at Catasauqua since that time, my business related almost wholly to the settlement of estates and the transmission of title to property in the borough and the surrounding townships; and, besides being thus identified with local affairs as a legal adviser, I was practically concerned for a time in the administration of the local government as a Justice of the Peace and Chief Burgess. It was in this manner that I became thoroughly familiar with all theimportant matters and things of the community, not only of a financial and political nature, but of an historical nature as well.

Book Description
Excerpt from Notes on the History of Pennsylvania The earliest European settlers of Pennsylvania were the Swedes and the Dutch. Henry Hudson, in his daring voy age in the Half Moon, in 1609, entered the Delaware Bay, thus establishing the Dutch claim to this region. The river and the bay took their name from Lord Delaware, a governor of Virginia who entered the bay the next year. In 1616, Captain Hendrickson, a Dutch navigator, explored the Delaware River as far as the mouth of the Schuylkill. His vessel, the Onrust or Restless, had been built on the Hudson, taking the place of his original ship from Holland. The Dutch in 1623, under Captain Mey, settled on the Jersey shore of the Delaware, nearly opposite where Philadelphia now stands. This Captain Mey is new best remembered by the cape that bears his name. From this settlement the Dutch went into Pennsylvania, establishing a valuable trade in beaver-skins.
