| | Planning Philadelphia |
 | | Penn may have been influenced by Richard Newcourts plans for rebuilding burnt out parts of London, or perhaps by new garrison towns like Londonberry Ireland. | | | And so it is not surprising that he envisioned his 'greene towne' as one "which will never be burnt, and always be wholesome." (Weigley, 2) Sadly, a little over one hundred years after Penn established his city, Philadelphia would be devastated by a series of yellow fever epidemics. | | | He also kept the concept of a greenbelt encircling the metropolis, itself a forerunner of the modern suburb. |

| | Common belief has this treaty-- one which Voltaire said was "never sworn to and never broken"-- taking place under the "Treaty Elm" at Shackamaxon, half a mile north of the center of Philadelphia. | | | Before leaving he also granted the request of the inhabitants of Delaware that they be allowed to separate from Pennsylvania. | | | Sailing on a ship that was appropriately named the "Welcome," he made the voyage in comparatively good time. |
