About this book
Calvert and Penn is a discourse by Brantz Mayer, delivered in Philadelphia before the Pennsylvania Historical Society on 8 April, 1852. The discourse gives its subject as the growth of civil and religious liberty in America, as disclosed in the planting of Maryland and Pennsylvania. The text describes a rite which commands the Chinese to establish in their dwellings a Hall of Ancestors, devoted to memorials of kindred who are dead.
The text states that morality, social as well as political, to be vital and not hypocritical, must be religion put into practical exercise. The text quotes a description of Calvert as an honorable, sensible well-minded man, courteous towards strangers, full of respect towards embassadors. The text names The Answer to Tom Tell-Troth, the Practise of Princes and the Lamentations of the Kirke as the only original work or tract by which we know the character of Sir George Calvert's mind.
