October 24, 1957 was the 275th anniversary of the landing of WILLIAM PENN on our shores.

Most Philadelphians think of Penn as “private property,” for he was the person who founded this city and tagged it with a Greek name meaning “City of Brotherly Love.” What all too many people do not realize is that Penn was a man of breadth and vision who not only made peace a reality in this city but who extended his dream of brotherly love to the rest of the world.

A Bible inscribed by WILLIAM PENN for presentation to his son, John, in 1705, has been acquired by the Free Library of Philadelphia.

The Bible, in modest black and gilt binding, measures seven-and-a-half by ten-and-a-half inches. It was given by Penn to the only one of his 13 children to be born in the : New World.
