Something went wrong!

Hang in there while we get back on track

A brief view of the conduct of Pennsylvania, for the year 1755 : so far as it affected the general service of the British colonies, particularly the expedition under the late General Braddock ; with an account of the shocking inhumanities, committed by incursions of the Indians upon the province in October and November ; which occasioned a body of the inhabitants to come down, while the Assembly were sitting, and to insist upon an immediate suspension of all disputes, and the passing of a law for the defence of the country ; interspers'd with several interesting anecdotes and original papers, relating to the politics and principles of the people called Quakers : being a sequel to a late well-known pamphlet, intitled, A brief state of Pennsylvania / in a second letter to a friend in London.

Collection
Part of The Sid Lapidus '59 Collection on Liberty and the American Revolution
After nearly 60 years of collecting, Sid Lapidus ’59 has presented to the Library more than 2700 volumes representing the fruits of his enthusiasm. Broadly conceived, the collection charts the definition and re-definiton of rights and liberties endemic to Western political traditions. The main focus is texts and documents relating to the American Revolution, its run-up dating back to the Commonwealth men, and coming down to documents of the early Federal government.
