sentatives of the All-World Friends
Conference to be held in London in
1920, for their perusal

William Penn wrote the essay after
the close of the third Louis XIV war
This war was fought between France
on one side, and England, Holland
Austria and Spain on the other and
was followed by the usual destitutior
and grieyous loss of life which attends
every conflict. In an attempt to sug

of avoiding future wars, William Penn
known for his foresight and ability tc
give clear visioned advice wrote this
plan for league of nations in 1888
just two hundred and thirty-one years
before the world as whole is taking
up such plan with serious intent.
