About this book
The Quaker Colonies is a chronicle of the proprietors of the Delaware, by Sydney George Fisher. The book is Volume 8 in the Chronicles of America Series. The text says that Penn received his charter in 1681, and that in it he was very careful to avoid all the mistakes of the Jersey proprietary grants, and that, instead of numerous proprietors, Penn was to be the sole proprietor.
The text also says the Crown placed at the disposal of the Quakers 55,000 square miles of most valuable, fertile territory. The text describes a new outburst of feeling over a change, in which the Quakers had the Scotch-Irish on their side, and a part of the Churchmen; the Germans were divided, but the majority enthusiastic for the change was very large. The text remarks that many persons with Dutch names are of Swedish or French descent and vice versa, and that Swedish names anglicized are now found everywhere.
