''Quaker and Courtier: The Life and Work of William Penn'' by Mrs. Colquhoun Grant is a comprehensive biography of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania and a prominent figure in American history. The book explores Penn’s life from his birth in 1644 to his death in 1718, tracing his journey from a privileged upbringing as the son of a wealthy English admiral to his conversion to the Quaker faith and his subsequent persecution and imprisonment for his beliefs. The author delves into Penn’s relationships with other influential figures of his time, including King Charles II and James II, and examines his efforts to establish a colony in America that would serve as a haven for religious freedom and tolerance. Throughout the book, Grant provides a detailed account of Penn’s political and social activism, including his advocacy for Native American rights and his involvement in the abolitionist movement. She also explores his personal life, including his marriage to Gulielma Springett and his relationship with his children. Overall, ''Quaker and Courtier'' offers a fascinating insight into the life and work of William Penn, shedding light on his enduring legacy as a champion of religious freedom and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
