Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Maryland The editor of the work which it is the purpose of these brief preliminary words. To present to the public for its sufferance and, it is hoped, a measure of satisfaction, has held in mind during his labors certain facts which he conceived to be fundamental in his undertaking. Conformity of style and literary usage was regarded as important. Following the line of least resistance, he undertook to adapt the style of Mr. Mcsherry to that of his own rather than to affect a manner of writing which to him would have been forced and unnatural, and certainly to the reader clumsy and unrewarding. Numerous verbal changes have therefore been made throughout the text. A certain fulsomeness which appears especially in the eulogies in the work has been corrected. These and similar literary changes embrace the greater part of the exercise of the editorial function up to the chapter which relates to the close of the Revolutionary War. From that period to the end of the work the story was too meager to have linked to it the great subsequent events of Maryland's history. It thus became necessary to rewrite the work from that point, although in so doing everything of the author's has found incorporation, although not always in situ. A comparison with the original work will show the large extent of the amplification which was found to be necessary.

Download or read book Descriptions of Maryland Classic Reprint written by Bernard C. Steiner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptions of Maryland From the time when Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon sailed to America and entered the Chesapeake Bay, many travellers have entered the territory now embraced in the State of Maryland and have written accounts of what they found there. Other descriptions of the State or of parts of it have been written to serve as guide-books to strangers. Still other descriptions, more or less imaginary in character, are found in the pages of works of fiction. It seemed a task worthy of performance to gather together the references to the State found in works in the classes above named and to prepare a chronological bibliography of the descriptions of Maryland. NO claim for completeness is made for the list of books; but, at the least, it forms a good working basis for the student. To several classes of investigators the list should prove of use: the man interested in the State's history, the chronicler of local conditions, the student of the manners and customs of the people at any given epoch, and the biographer who may find references to the man whose life he is studying. Most of the books included in the list are contained in the valuable collections of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, and the preparation of the monograph has been possible only because Of the cordial co-operation and painstaking care of Miss Anna M. Doerksen, Superintendent of Circulation in that institution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Character of the Province of Maryland OF the few descriptions of Maryland written in the seventeenth century, this is decidedly the most pretentious. Its primeval savor, the peculiarity of its style, and its unique account of the mighty Susquehannas, together with its portrayal of the early white settlers of that province as a well disposed people living under a well-ordered government in the midst Of Nature's bountiful gifts, make it an enduring attraction to the curious reader; and when read in connection with other literature on the subject it is not without its value to the most serious student of our early history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of the Early History of Maryland In 1640, owing probably, to the obstructed intercourse with the, natives and the necessity of providing stores for the mili tary, the exportation of corn was prohibited; and three viewers or inspectors of tobacco were to be appointed by the com mander in every hundred, sometimes cc-extensive with a county. When a hogshead should be found to contain bad tobacco for the greater part, it was to be burned, and when not sealed for good, the exportation was prohibited under treble damages: It was, however not uncommon, even at a later period, to ship that article in bulk as we now do staves or other lumber. It was provided also, that in case of the death of the Governor, the first named of the council should act in his place until a new one was appointed yby the proprietary.

This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History and Description of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad In presenting to the public this brief historical sketch and compendium of facts relating to the diversified career of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company, - from the period of its first organization in 1827, to its completion in 1853, - the author has been influenced solely by a desire to place on record a comprehensive narrative of events, redounding to the honor of the State of Maryland and the City of Baltimore, and reflecting immortal credit upon the intelligence, perseverance, and unflagging energy of those alike who originated, perfected, and have carried to a successful issue this great national enterprise. Maryland has the honor of having been the first State in the Union to incorporate a Company for the construction of a Rail Road, - she was also the first to devote the public resources to the support of the system, - "a system that has given to the people of the United States, an identity of feeling, a harmony of interests, and a facility of social intercourse which has bound them together as one great family." Maryland may now also boast of having completed one of the longest and most magnificent Rail Roads in the world, and although more limited in her territory than many of her sister States, she has thus secured the most direct channel through which the interchange of commodities and travel, between the Eastern and the Western States, will be mainly carried on, and which will elevate her chief City still higher in wealth, commercial activity, and national importance.

I have merely collected those which in my humble opinion were the most interesting and were more available. I am one of those who think the Eastern Shore of Maryland the "Garden Spot" of the World - have been taught that from the cradle up. Many of the tales told here are some we have heard since childhood, and as this is an inquiring age, in recent years I have looked into them a little to ascertain just how much was fiction and how much was truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of University Education in Maryland The State Of Maryland has been almost extravagantly liberal in bestowing charters on colleges and professional schools. Over forty such charters have been given by the legislature and, in many cases, the result has proved that the gift of a charter was not warranted by the stability Of the institution, to which was thus granted the power of conferring degrees. In many other cases, however, the institutions have grown and flourished, and have had an honorable history.

Download or read book History of Dorchester County Maryland Classic Reprint written by Elias Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Dorchester County, Maryland This fragmentary collection of local history and biography is only a glimpse at the interesting events occurring in Dorchester County from its origin, two hundred and thirty-three years ago, to the present day. In compiling this local record, references to State events and people have been frequently made in order to explain the cause and effect of local acts which have had their influences in county affairs. Especially has it been the purpose to note the names of the promoters of the county as well as to mention their deeds. In this fast age of book and newspaper literature when every inmate of the American home must daily read the current his tory of the world as it transpires, there is no reasonable excuse why a history of Dorchester County Should not be published. It has been the desire of the author to give a truthful narration of the events treated, and while the diction may not be all that could be desired, it is set forth as an earnest effort, to which the reader is asked to bestow that indulgence which the work merits. If due credit has not been given, either by reference or quotation, for any language used in this book, it is an act of unintentional omission.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Manors in the Colony of Maryland In the presentation of this - the second of the series of Early Manors in the Colony of Maryland -it must be borne in mind that it is simply the transcription of lectures given before the Maryland Society of the Colonial Dames of America, under the auspices of the Historic Research Committee, in which the Chairman has endeavored to preserve some traces of these early institutions so rapidly disappear ing. In many cases their later history and that of the large plantations built up in their partition is most interesting, but onlv the earlier lines could be here given and onlv the very earliest documents used. The destruction of so many records by fire in the Court Houses, especially those of 1747 and 1882 in Calvert County, make the work more dif heult and somewhat imperfect, but for the many opportunities afforded the Chairman to gain a personal touch with what remains of the past and to procure the views for illustration, her most sincere obligations are due to a host of friends who will recognize their part and her gratitude in the story'of the Manors on the Patuxent.
