One plate, a reproduction of the original title page from 1685. Good, some chipping loss to the spine and tidemarking to the lower…outer corners of the pages not affecting the text. Essentially a promotional tract by Quaker Thomas Budd to encourage settlement ("in good order" based on Quaker principles) of eastern Pennsylvania and West Jersey. It drew attention to economic items such as land, crops, livestock and "commodities" (industry), educational training for girls and boys including vocational skills, and described relations with the peaceful native America tribes of the region.
