A Journal of the Plague Year, Or, Memorials of the Great Pestilence in London, in 1665Thomas Tegg and Son, 1722 - 376 páginas The plague hit London in 1665. The Penn family was living there when it happened, and William Penn observed the way various religious groups responded to the crisis. It drew his attention especially to the Quakers, who went on missions of mercy yet were arrested and even blamed for causing the plague. Penn was sent to Ireland in 1666, where he managed the family land and joined the army. |
