William Penn was a prominent figure in the 17th and early 18th century, celebrated as an author, a minister of the gospel, and a statesman. He is best known as the founder of the Province of Pennsylvania, but his Christian virtue, deep spiritual understanding, and self-denying life are the real and lasting testimonies to his worth as a man. The “Life of William Penn” by Enoch Lewis contains both a historical and spiritual biography of this eminent minister, and also includes a considerable collection of his most famous writings, including “Primitive Christianity Revived,” “A Brief Account of the Rise and Progress of the People called Quakers,” “A Key,” “William Penn’s Advice to His Children,” and many other valuable epistles and treatises.

Friends Library Publishing exists to freely share the writings of early members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), believing that no other collection of Christian writings more accurately communicates or powerfully illustrates the soul-transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
