Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Defence of William Penn In the news papers which have been received recently from England, there is an account of a deputation from the Society of Friends in London, to the Right Honorable Thomas Babington Macaulay, the author of the new History of England, on the subject of the charges which appear in that publication, against the moral and political reputation of William Penn. The same news papers describe the argument between this deputation and Mr. Macaulay, as remaining still in favour of the author of the History of England - whose statements are therefore to be taken as incapable of being now overthrown by any evidence which remains in vindication of the fair fame of Penn. All this may be only a news paper paragraph, with little foundation in the truth that any such a deputation may have waited upon the author of the new political novel, called a History of England; or that the result of the argument was confirmatory of the charges which Mr. Macaulay has brought against the founder of the Colony of Pennsylvania: - for these charges rest upon no other than a sandy foundation, and they can be shaken with great ease.
