Summary
" ... the study comprises, first, Penn's efforts on his three journeys to Holland and Germany to convert to Quakerism the Labadists, Pietists,and Quietists whom he found there; second, the way in which small Quaker communities on the Continent had prepared the way for these visits; and finally the rise and progress of those congregations of Dutch and German Quakers who, fleeing from persecution, accepted Penn's invitation to settle in Pennsylvania."
