A serious cultural history rooted in detailed research, Nash's book explores the impetus
behind the bell's creation, as well as its evolutions in meaning through successive
generations. With attention to Pennsylvania's Quaker roots, he analyzes the biblical
passage from Leviticus that provided the bell's inscription and the valiant efforts
of Philadelphia's unheralded brass founders who attempted to recast the bell after
it cracked upon delivery from London's venerable Whitechapel Foundry. --from publisher
