Chapter subtitles: Wm Penn founds a new world "Experiment " --- Penn's Philadelphia becomes a living community -- Business and community grow together-- Medicine and progress didn't always march hand in hand -- Philadelphia loved the theater, but not all Philadelphians -- Music calmed many a savage Philadelphian -- The painter's brush found fertile ground in Penn's model city -- The battle between good andevil is well fought in Philadelphia -- Pleasure was where theyfound it, and often in a noggin -- Love wasn't always brotherly in Philadelphia -- Philadelphia's press reflected the growing Colonial metropolis -- Politics, as everywhere, consumed the "Holy Experiment"
Summary
The author says that he wished to portray a more realistic view of 18th century Philadelphia, rather than the often seen, romanticized version of the city. He wanted to show the down to earth life in a bustling, but less than perfect, community.
