The representatives held a different opinion of the conflict, believing that the proprietors were the ones scheming, in order to “erect their desired Superstructure of despotic Power, and reduce to

  • The ^Penn Collection
    The ^Penn Collection A young man, William Penn fell heir to the papers of his distinguished father, Admiral Sir William Penn. This collec- A tion, the foundation of the family archives, Penn carefully preserved. To it he added records of his own, which, with the passage of time, constituted a large accumulation. Just before his second visit to his colony, Penn sought to put the most pertinent of his American papers in order. James Logan, his new secretary, and Mark Swanner, a clerk, assisted in the prepara- tion of an index entitled "An Alphabetical Catalogue of Pennsylvania Letters, Papers and Affairs, 1699." Opposite a letter and a number in this index was entered the identifying endorsement docketed on the original manuscript, and, to correspond with this entry, the letter and number in the index was added to the endorsement on the origi- nal document. When completed, the index filled a volume of about one hundred pages.1 Although this effort showed order and neatness, William Penn's papers were carelessly kept in the years that followed. The Penn family made a number of moves; Penn was incapacitated and died after a long illness; from time to time, business agents pawed through the collection. Very likely, many manuscripts were taken away for special purposes and never returned. During this period, the papers were in the custody of Penn's wife; after her death in 1726, they passed to her eldest son, John Penn, the principal proprietor of Pennsylvania. In Philadelphia, there was another collection of Penn deeds, real estate maps, political papers, and correspondence.

The fiftieth volume of Maryland Archives, just off the press, is a worthy companion to those which have preceded it.

As in other recent volumes of the work it is prefaced with a scholarly resume of the contents, by the Editor. The publication of the fiftieth volume of such a series is a matter of more than passing interest and should be a subject of gratulation to the citizens of the State at large, as it is an honor to the Maryland Historical Society, which has every reason to be proud of its stewardship of our State's invaluable archives.

  • The Presidents House in Philadelphia: the Rediscovery of a Lost Landmark
    The Presidents House in Philadelphia: The Rediscovery of a Lost Landmark I R MORE THAN 150 YEARS there has been confusion about the fPresident's House in Philadelphia (fig. 1), the building which served s the executive mansion of the United States from 1790 to 1800, the "White House" of George Washington and John Adams. Congress had named Philadelphia the temporary national capital for a ten-year period while the new Federal City (now Washington, D.C.) was under con- struction, and one of the finest houses in Philadelphia was selected for President Washington's residence and office. Prior to its tenure as the President's House, the building had housed such other famous (or infamous) residents as proprietary governor Richard Penn, British general Sir William Howe, American general Benedict Arnold, French consul John Holker, and financier Robert Morris. Historians have long recognized the importance of the house, and many have attempted to tell its story, but most of them have gotten the facts wrong about how the building looked when Washington and Adams lived there, and even about where it stood. 1 am indebted to John Alviti, Penelope Hartshorne Batcheler, George Brighitbill, Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Burt, Jeffrey A- Cohen, William Creech, David Dashiell, Scott DeHaven, Susan Drinan, Kenneth Fmkel, Jeffrey Faherty, Marsha Fritz, Kristen Froehlich, Roy Harker, Sharon Ann Holt, Sue Keeler, Roger G.

JENKINS AVTBOll OF VOLVMS OHS, 11.DIO&IAL IIISTO&Y OF PBILADELPBIA, rrc., rrc. 1899 PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, U.S. A. THE AUTHOR LONDON, ENGLAND HEADLEY BROTHERS, 14, BISHOPSGATE WITHOUT Copyright, 1899, by HowARD M. J ENXINs. / C • /(',' ,., ''./t! /it/- / ",/// '// ?1. ; I/ 1 /It ,-{~i/,//, ', / / ';////(/(, ·I ; •/./ I / . ,, ,,: ·/ PREFACE. ~HE occasion of this volume is substantially, per­ '-...J.... haps sufficiently, stated in the opening of the first chapter. To the explanation there given a few particulars may be added. There has always been, the author believes, a strong and very reasonable interest in the personality of William Penn, as the Founder of Penn­ sylvania, and as a worthy figure in the world's history, and some of this interest attaches to the line of those who have descended from him. The volume here prepared assumes simply to deal with this Family subject. It is not a history nor a biography. In one or two places, perhaps, the record has been permitted an extension which could not be entirely justified by the pian of the work, but excusing this by the special interest of the subject at those points, the author thinks the book has been fairly confined to its original and legitimate plan. Some of the family letters, very possibly, may be re­ garded as containing details too trivial for printing. The view adopted as to such matters has been that the account is thus made more precise and distinct, and is invested with human interest. Indeed, a book of this character must in part find its justification as being a study, a picture, of social conditions fn the p~rio~ to which it belongs, and such a study or picture is obviously of little value unless it is presented with lines sufficiently distinct, and details sufficiently definite, to make a positive impression on the mind.

  • D N OCTOBER 5, 1775, the Pennsylvania State House
    THE IMPACT OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION ON THE GOVERNOR'S COUNCILLORS By JAMES LAVERNE ANDERSON* D NOCTOBER 5, 1775, the Pennsylvania State House was the scene of two important meetings. While the Second Continental Congress held a session downstairs, the Pennsylvania Governor's Council met in the second floor Council chamber. The Councillors discussed the election returns of the Pennsylvania counties. After certifying the results as official, the Governor s Council of Pennsylvania adjourned for what was to prove to be the last time.1 Presently, the advisory institution which had been a part of the Proprietorship for over ninety years alas no more. The Councillors of 1775 were the remaining elite of the Penn- sylvania Proprietorship. Serving as a Council, they had little power; but as holders of some fifty or more other positions, lead- ing members of the best social groups, and owviiers of land and businesses, their influence permeated the colony. In October, 1775, the Councillors faced a personal crisis as they A itnessed the rising tide of public feeling against the mother country, a tide which threatened to engulf those who represented the past. Despite the rise of this feeling within the Proprietorship, Pennsylvania was in a unique position. Of the thirteen colonies, only Pennsylvania and Maryland remained Proprietaries. But the political situation in Maryland was more antagonistic toward the Proprietary Council since the Council in that colony main- tained legislative power. The Maryland Councillors formed a court party" which supported the Crown, while the Assembly members constituted a "'countr) partyv which stimulated the *Mr. Anderson is a Thonmas Jefferson Fellow in the Graduate School of the University of Virginia.

This justification may be found in the fact that the tract at all times has been an active, living and useful trust, unique in character, and almost without its counterpart in this or any sister state and reflecting in our original settlers the ancient customs and habits of the land from which they came. Just when New Castle Common had its origin has not, as yet, been definitely determined. As first actually located by metes and bounds in 1704 it consisted of 1068 acres of land near New Castle, Delaware, and must not be confused with other and smaller lots in which some right of common existed. I It has generally been assumed and often stated as a fact that New Castle Common had its origin in a grant from William Penn in 1701 and thus many are led to believe that it was to the generosity of Penn that we are indebted for the Common.
