Footnotes: 1 William Penn was termed Minquon by the Delawares, and, as
he never used violence or injustice in his dealings with
them, his reputation for probity passed into a proverb. The
American is justly proud of the origin of his nation, which
is perhaps unequaled in the history of the world; but the
Pennsylvanian and Jerseyman have more reason to value
themselves in their ancestors than the natives of any other
state, since no wrong was done the original owners of the soil.
