Excerpt from William Penn: As the Founder of Two CommonwealthsThe seventeenth century was essentially an epoch of warfare between kingly despotism and the conscience of the people. During that century, for the first time since the birth of Christ, aspirations for religious liberty found em bodiment in organized armies and achieved definite form in Victory over the hosts of oppression and the hordes of bigotry. It witnessed two revolutions in England, in which the forces of the people were arrayed against monarchs who aimed at absolutism, in which religious freedom waged war against dynastic intolerance. The whole result was one king beheaded and another driven from his throne to die in exile.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
