In the thirty-five years before American independence, Philadelphia was the largest city after London in the British Empire. It was the port of entry for scientists, philosophers, doctors, teachers, artists and craftsmen, individualistic and democratic, who crossed the Atlantic and whose thought met and blended with the earlier ecclesiastical culture of New England to flow in turn into the main channel of American thought. This book is a biography of the city of Philadelphia during that time period.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 373-380).
