Excerpt from Proceedings on Unveiling the Monument to Caesar Rodney, and the Oration Delivered on the Occasion It would appear that William Penn had been of like mind with my Lord Bacon, who held it to be a shameful and unblessed thing to take the scum of people, and wicked, condemned men to be the people with whom you plant, and therefore when Penn came to let in the sunlight of liberty of the person in conscience and in conduct upon the colony he was planting on these shores, he sought as his companions and assistants men of character and substance; and he brought out of England men of good stock and standing and excluded the scum and wicked, condemned men.
