A Man Who Made a Difference: The Life of David H. Scull (review)

remarks, especially in the areas of religious and political history. For instance, it is mentioned in places that the work under consideration is in part a defense against the charge of Socinianism, but Socinianism is nowhere identified, and no comments are made about the reasons for or the validity of the charge. Possibly more analytical and less simply descriptive remarks would have stretched inappropriately the scope of this bibliographical volume. In any case, the authors provide references to specific sections of scholarly studies of Penn's works for readers who want to learn more. As Bronner has written, much of what Penn wrote "has been forgotten because it was hurriedly written, without proper reflection and review, it was frequently repetitious, and, as one author said, it was often 'turgid and obscure'" (p.26). Nevertheless, knowledge of Penn's writings adds greatly to our understanding of one of the most important figures in Quaker, English, and American history. Students of Penn's life and thought have in this publication an extraordinary and definitive bibliograpjical guide to his thought. Scholars in several fields will be in debt to Edwin Bronner and David Fraser as long as historical knowledge is pursued.
