First of May in New York and Pennsylvanian reminiscences
A fragmented narrative blends a chaotic May Day scene in New York with lengthy excerpts on Admiral William Penn, his son’s life, and Pennsbury estate. It sketches urban disorder, then shifts to biographical portraits of Penn’s education, travels, courtly life, and governance in Pennsylvania, noting hospitality, finances, and maritime interests.
