We shall often be disappointed, for instance, if we expect to find either paintings or prints in frame.

I seldom remember to have seen above three or four articles of this description in all my intercourse with the Quakers.

Some families had one of these, others a second, and others a third, but none had them all.

And in many families neither the one nor the other was to be seen.
One of the prints, to which I allude, contained a representation of the conclusion of the famous treaty between William Penn and the Indians of America.

This transaction every body knows, afforded, in all its circumstances, a proof to the world, of the singular honour and uprightness of those ancestors of the Quakers who were concerned in it.
The Indians too entertained an opinion no less favourable of their character, for they handed down the memory of the event under such [37]impressive circumstances, that their descendants have a particular love for the character, and a particular reliance on the word, of a Quaker at the present day.
