The Life of William Penn
The Life of William Penn
by: William Penn
William Penn was a prominent figure in the 17th and early 18th century, celebrated as an author, a minister of the gospel, and a statesman. He is best known as the founder of the Province of Pennsylvania, but his Christian virtue, deep spiritual understanding, and self-denying life are the real and lasting testimonies to his worth as a man. The “Life of William Penn” by Enoch Lewis contains both a historical and spiritual biography of this eminent minister, and also includes a considerable collection of his most famous writings, including “Primitive Christianity Revived,” “A Brief Account of the Rise and Progress of the People called Quakers,” “A Key,” “William Penn’s Advice to His Children,” and many other valuable epistles and treatises.
