Monthly Meeting of Friends. 1902, rep. 2001 A chronological
list of Quaker immigrants who registered, upon their arrival in
Philadelphia, with the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting of Friends.
It is based on the certificates of removal from the Meetings of
Friends of which they were members in other countries and other
colonies. The work is instrumental to the researcher interested
in tracing early immigrants to Penn's Colony. A large proportion
of the Quakers who immigrated into the Province of Pennsylvania
took up residence in Philadelphia. Of the nineteen monthly meetings
established in Pennsylvania prior to 1750, the Philadelphia Monthly
Meeting easily ranks first in the number of certificates received.
As a rule, the certificates give the following information: name,
date of certificate, former place of residence, former meeting,
date of receipt, and other details of quaint and useful interest.

of 1798: Tax Lists for the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania;

and Dock Wards . 1999.
The Direct Tax of 1798 was imposed by the United States government
on dwellings, lands and slaves, with the aim of raising $2 million.
The result was a housing inventory remarkably complete and detailed
for its time. This book is a compilation of these tax lists for
six wards in the city of Philadelphia. Brief biographical notices
have been added for a few prominent persons. An appendix includes
the introduction to the microfilm edition of the Pennsylvania
tax lists (published by the National Archives), a circular of
the Secretary of the Treasury providing instructions to the assessors,
and sample pages from the Philadelphia tax forms. Full name index.

A Brief Account of Their Influence on Pennsylvania. (GET PUBLISHER,
1990. After identifying the Pennsylvania Germans, Glatfelter proceeds
to describe their development since 1683. His organization is
basically chronological, as he divides the core of his narrative
into four periods: 1683-1783, 1783-1865, 1865-1920 and 1920 to
the present. Within these segments, he discusses the Pennsylvania
Germans' immigration and settlement, their economic, political,
religious, artistic, literary and intellectual achievements. Glatfelter
explains how they emerged from relative isolation in their own
setting to a closer relationship with other peoples in Pennsylvania's
heterogeneous society. Much of this is presented within the broad
context of state and even national history. 81 pp.
