Elizabeth Gilbert Quotes
He Had Heard Especially Promising Things About Philadelphia
the Lively Capital Of That Young Nation. It Was Said To Be A City With A Good-enough Shipping Port, Central To The Eastern Coast Of The Country, Filled With Pragmatic Quakers, Pharmacists, And Hardworking Farmers. It Was Rumored To Be A Place Without Haughty Aristocrats (unlike Boston), And Without Pleasure-fearing Puritans (unlike Connecticut), And Without Troublesome Self-minted Feudal Princes (unlike Virginia). The City Had Been Founded On The Sound Principles Of Religious Tolerance, A Free Press, And Good Landscaping, By William Penn
a Man Who Grew Tree Saplings In Bathtubs, And Who Had Imagined His Metropolis As A Great Nursery Of Both Plants And Ideas. Everyone Was Welcome In Philadelphia, Absolutely Everyone
except, Of Course, The Jews. Hearing All This, Henry Suspected Philadelphia To Be A Vast Landscape Of Unrealized Profits, And He Aimed To Turn The Place To His Advantage.
