Quaker Arrivals at Philadelphia, 1682-1750: Being a List of Certificates of Removal Received at Philadelphia 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.

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.

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.
