1822réf. E4804First edition very rare. The Address is a revised version of the valedictory lecture given on 31 December 1818 to mark the centenary of the death of William Penn. It gives an explanation of the origins of the Society and then is entirely directed to the career and particularly the principles of William Penn based on 'traditional information' and 'publicly and privately attested facts'. The private information was doubtless supplied by John Penn 1760-1834 founder of the Society who as a surviving grandson of William Penn succeeded his father to the moiety of the last proprietorship of Pennsylvania. The Outinian Society was originally founded in 1817 as the Matrimonial Society in response to an anonymous poem called 'Marriage' in the Monthly Magazine. It had the object of promoting marriage and improving the domestic life of married couples. Extending its aims to other schemes of human happiness – to 'the more perfect knowledge of certain less obvious truths and principles of human action' – it soon changed its name to the Outinian Society apparently inspired by a line in Homer. John Penn was its president and editor Jonathan Richardson its secretary and lecturer. The lectures were very popular: Records of the Origin and Proceedings of the Outinian Society 1822 lists well over 1000 names of Auditors who had attended.
