[There is a contemporary map showing the laying out of Philadelphia by Holme (concerning which much will be found in John Reed’s Explanation of the Map of Philadelphia, 1774), and also a part of Harris’s map of Pennsylvania, which gives the location of Pennsbury Manor, Penn’s country house, in Bucks County, four miles above Bristol, on the Delaware, which was built during Penn’s first visit, on land purchased by Markham of the Indians. See the view in Gay’s Popular History of the United States, iii. 174.—Ed.]
