Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annals of Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania, in the Olden Time, Vol. 1 of 3: Being a Collection of Memoirs, Anecdotes, and Incidents of the City and Its Inhabitants, and of the Earliest Settlements of the Inland Part of Pennsylvania This work, dedicated to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania by one of its members, and specially recommended to the public by one of its official publications, is designed to revive the recollections and the peculiar traits and characteristics of the olden time; - to give to the present race of Philadelphians and Pennsylvanians, curious and amusing facts from by-gone times, of which few or none have had any proper conception. It is an effort to rescue from the ebbing tide of oblivion, all those fugitive memorials of unpublished facts and observations, or reminiscences and traditions, which could best illustrate the domestic history of our former days. As such a work is without example for its imitation, it may be deemed sui-generis in its execution. It has, however, powers to please apart from its style and composition, because it is in effect - a museum of whatever is rare, surprising, or agreeable, concerning the primitive days of our pilgrim forefathers, or of the subsequent changes by their sons, either in the alterations and improvements of given localities, or in the modes and forms of " changing men and manners." It is a picture of the doings and characteristics of a buried age. By the images which their recitals create in the imagination, the ideal presence is generated; and we talk and think with men of other times.
