The Trial of William Penn and William Mead - William Penn - Bog

The Trial of William Penn and William Mead: For Causing a Tumult, at the Sessions Held at the Old Bailey in London is a historical account of the trial of two Quaker men, William Penn and William Mead, who were charged with causing a disturbance during a religious meeting in 1670s England. The book, originally published in 1919, is written by William Penn himself and provides a first-hand account of the trial, including the events leading up to it, the proceedings in court, and the verdict. Penn, who would later go on to found the colony of Pennsylvania in America, describes the trial as a miscarriage of justice and a violation of his religious freedom. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the persecution of Quakers in England during the 17th century and the struggle for religious tolerance and freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
