Book Description
Excerpt from The Relations of Pennsylvania With the British Government: 1696-1765 Vision of colonial progress by the central government. The result was that the colonists, untrammeled by inter ference from home and exhibiting all the characteristics of a true pioneer and frontier people, fashioned their in stitutions as they saw fit and ordered their affairs accord ing to their own conceptions, all of which was done with little regard for the interests of the Empire. But as the economic theories of the earlier part of the seventeenth century with regard to colonization found formal and definite expression in law by the passage of the acts of trade and navigation of the Restoration period, then Eng lish statesmen came to a thorough realization of the de feets of the early charters. It became Obvious that the development of the colonies toward self-control must be checked.1 Their separatist and independent tendencies came clearly to light in the case of the New England colonies, especially Massachusetts.2 They were charged with passing laws contrary to the statutes of Parliament, with transgressions Of the laws of trade, with denying appeals to England, and with a general tendency toward independence. In the very year that Penn received his charter, that of Massachusetts was threatened with judicial proceedings grounded on such irregularities. With these facts fresh in mind, it is not hard to understand the rea sons which led to the insertion of provisions in Penn's charter looking to an intimate supervision of colonial concerns by the central government.

Book Description
The Keystone State, so nicknamed because it was geographically situated in the middle of the thirteen original colonies and played a crucial role in the founding of the United States, has remained at the heart of American history. Created partly as a safe haven for people from all walks of life, Pennsylvania is today the home of diverse cultures, religions, ethnic groups, social classes, and occupations. Many ideas, institutions, and interests that were formed or tested in Pennsylvania spread across America and beyond, and continue to inform American culture, society, and politics. Pennsylvania: A History of the Commonwealth is the first comprehensive history of the Keystone State in almost three decades. In it distinguished scholars view Pennsylvania's history critically and honestly, setting the Commonwealth's story in the larger context of national social, cultural, economic, and political development. Part I offers a narrative history and Part II offers a series of "Ways to Pennsylvania's Past" -- nine concise guides designed to enable readers to discover Pennsylvania's heritage for themselves. Pennsylvania: A History of the Commonwealth is the result of a unique collaboration between The Pennsylvania State University Press and The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), the official history agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The result is a remarkable account of how Pennsylvanians have lived, worked, and played through the centuries.
