The early legislation of Pennsylvania is contained in Linn's convenient _Charter to William Penn, and Laws of the Province of Pa., 1682-1700_ (Harrisburg, 1879), which is supplemented by Nead's valuable _Historical Notes_. Some illustrations of judicial and administrative proceedings have been gleaned from the _Colonial Records of Pa._ (Harrisburg, 1838-53); and the marriage laws enacted from 1700 onward are cited in Carey and Bioren, _Laws_ (Philadelphia, 1803); the _Laws of the Commonwealth of Pa._, 1700-1810 (Philadelphia, 1810); and Pepper and Lewis, _Digest_ (Philadelphia, 1896). For the doctrines of the Friends one must go to the founder. William Penn's _Select Works_ (1 vol. fol., London, 1771; 5 vols., 8vo, London, 1782) are a mine Of information on every phase of Quaker teaching; and the same is true of William Sewel's _History of the Rise, Increase, and Progress of the Christian People called Quakers_ (original Dutch ed., Amsterdam, 1717; first English ed., London, 1722), a work whose scrupulous accuracy has never been impeached. On the other hand, for the false charges brought against the Friends by their orthodox antagonists one should read Thomas Underhill, _Hell broke loose: or an History of the Quakers Both Old and New_ (London, 1660), who has raked together scandals of every description; Nathaniel Smith, _The Quaker's Spiritual Court_ (London, 1668); and Gerard Croese, _Historia quakeriana_ (Amsterdam, 1695; English ed., London, 1696), the book whose errors called forth Sewel's _History_. More recently Quaker rites and wedding customs have been described by Watson, _Annals of Philadelphia_ (last ed., Philadelphia, 1881); Hallowell, _Quaker Invasion of Mass._ (Boston, 1883); Applegarth, "Quakers in Pennsylvania," _J. H. U. S._, X (Baltimore, 1892); and in a lively sketch, drawn mainly from records of the Monthly Meeting, by Earle, "Among Friends," in _New England Magazine_, XIX (Boston, 1898). There is a typical Quaker marriage certificate of 1692 in Vol. XIII of the _Pa. Mag. of Hist, and Biog._ (Philadelphia, 1889). A brief summary of the matrimonial laws of the colony may be found in Gordon, _History of Pennsylvania_ (Philadelphia, 1829).] I. NEW YORK
