Editorial Reviews

Review

"Offutt has written a thorough and detailed account of socio-legal processes in a four-county area of the Delaware Valley during the first three decades of William Penn's 'holy experiment' with religiously tolerant, Quaker-led colonization... [Offutt] has succeeded admirably." -- Christopher L. Tomlins, Law and History Review
