Book excerpt: Excerpt from History, Possessions and Prospects of the Maryland Historical Society John Spear Smith, Robert Gilmor, Sr., Charles F. Mayer, Bernard U. Campbell, John L. Carey, William A. Talbott, Fielding Lucas, J r., John J. Donaldson, Robert Carey Long, and Sebastian F. Streeter, all of whom are dead; while the surviv ors are John H. B. Latrobe, Dr. James Hall, J. Morrison Harris, John P. Kennedy, George Wm. Brown, Dr. Joshua J. Cohen, Dr. Stephen Collins, Frederick Wm. Brune, J r., Captain Robert Leslie and myself. At that meeting the organization was completed; for, having considered the matter maturely in advance, we were prepared to adopt a constitution and by-laws, drawn up by me with care, the original draft of which I have the pleas ure of presenting to-night to the society. In order to make these fundamental instruments as com plete as possible, I obtained printed or written copies of the constitutions and laws of all the Historical Societies I was able to reach by cor respondence, and digested them in consultation with Mr. John P. Kennedy and our late Record ing Secretary, Mr. Streeter. These documents I have also preserved, and now present to the society. The committee which was appointed, reported the draft as offered, and the document was at once heartily adopted by the citizens present, who saw in it a promising nucleus for the only literary organization of the kind that had ever been formed in our state or city. The Constitution and By-laws being accepted, our preparatory meeting adjourned to the lst of February, after selecting a committee to nominate suitable persons as the first officers of the society, to be balloted for at our next assemblage. I remember that much care was taken in this deli cate duty by the judicious committee, which con sisted of Mr. J. H. B. Latrobe, Mr. George Wm. Brown, and Captain Robert Leslie. Indeed, so heedful were these gentlemen that I find it recorded they re-assembled the originators of the society on the 31st of January, in order to consult over the names they intended to propose to the general meeting on the following day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Discourse Before the Maryland Historical Society: Delivered on 20 June, 1844 The sceptred genius of Scott has won our hearts to the devoted task of his "Old Mortality." A strange freak of Antiquarian passion it might be termed by the utilitarian spirit that browses but for the present and within its narrow animal verge. But how tender, - though eccentric be his recluseness, - is the taste of that old votary of the tablets of the dead. It is his to retrace and revive the characters of the memorial which affection has committed to the silent stone, and to recal from decay the recorded tribute of sorrow - to bring to life the virtue which graces the ruin of the mouldering frame, and at the sepulchre to; light up the example that is to give lineaments for the future. Let a kindred zeal glow but within the limits of sect or party, I still it is a virtuous zeal. Let it be the pride of honoured heraldry and spotless lineage, the impulse is yet of noble birth and holds converse only with exalted sentiment. Let State pride urge its way among legends of trial and effort and the triumphs of energy - and open the tomb of the past, that, in radiant effusion, the memory of the good may brighten the empire of humanity. If that pride exult in successions of the wise and brave whose names enamel History and whose Historic urns are wreathed with their excellence - all this shall not be deemed idle - nor unworthy a self-sustaining, - self-dependent republicanism. Such recurrences are to Life's consummations, - to the glories of experience - the accumulations of fact and monition and incentive for which Time itself was made and for which ages have rolled and which make up the pomp and freight of Destiny.

Excerpt: ...and many things to the similia multa. Affulsit intfls in animo consolatio non mediocris ct simul persuasio tam certa, nos, non ab 115.c procella tantilm, sed ab omni alia, itinere isto, liberandos, ut nullus apud me esse posset dubitandi locus. Dederam me orationi cum mare saeviret maxime, et (quod ad Dei unius Gloriam cedat) vixdum cam finieram, cum sedisse animadvertebant tempestatem. Id scilicet novo quodam me induit habitu animi, perfuditque simul gaudio ingenti ct admiratione, cum impensam, Dei in Marylandiae populos, voluntatem (ad quos Rev" V" nos misit) haud paulo ampliils persentirem. Dulcissima Redemptoris Nostri Bonitas in ailernum laudetur! Cum ital deferbuisset jam mare, trium mensium navigatio placidissima fuit, ut navarchus cum suis, jucundiorem se vidisse nunquam, aub quietiorem asseveraverit: neque enim unius horas passi sumus incommodum. Cum vero tres menses nomino, non dico nos tamdiil mare insedisse, sed iter integrum ct moras quas in antillis Insulis traximus, adnumero. N-cwigatio enim ipsa septem Hebdomadas, et duos solummodo dies tenuit, idque censetur (iter) expeditum. Ab eo igitur tempore, quando littus Hispaniae legebamus, neque adverso, neque vento admodilm same effect; great comfort shone in upon my soul, and at the same time-so firm a conviction that we should be delivered, not only from this storm, but from every other during that voyage, that with me there could be no room left for doubt. I had betaken myself to prayer, when the sea was raging its worst, and (may this be to the glory of God, ) I had scarcely finished, when they observed that the storm was abating. That indeed brought me to a new frame of mind, and filled me at the same time with great joy and admiration, since I

This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annual Address, Delivered Before the Maryland Historical Society, on the Evening of December 17th, 1866 To show how valuable and extensive are some of these collections, I will only mention the library of the Vatican at Rome, founded by Pope Hilary, in the sixth century. It contained in 1848, besides printed volumes, manuscripts, entirely matchless any where else. Some of these manuscripts go back to the third century, and are therefore the earliest books known to exist. But the best and most reliable mate rials for history, are more liable to perish, and be lost and forgotten, than these works even in manuscript, of the learned of any age. They are, the newspapers of the day: the letters of prominent men who take an active part in the public transactions, the pamphlets in which public affairs are discussed; and the private journals of individuals. Pitkin, in his preface to the political and civil history of the United States, says: The numerous publica tions relating to individuals who acted a conspicuous part in the political scenes of this period, not only give the characters of the individuals themselves, but also furnish many important historical facts. He again remarks: Much of the Revolutionary history of the United States, is only to be found in the private papers of those who were principal actors during that periodand whenever the letters of General Washington, and the papers left by Samuel Adams, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, shall be given to the public, a great addition will be made to the stock of materials for American History.

This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Archives of Maryland as Illustrating the Spirit of the Times of the Early Colonists: A Paper Read Before the Maryland Historical Society, January 25, 1886 The following paper was prepared at the request of the Maryland Historical Society, as a sort of codification of the three volumes of Maryland Archives, published for the State by that Society. It makes no claim to original, or extended research, but is confined to the field to which it was limited by the vote of the Society, and has no aim but to alleviate the labor of (or be an index to) the investigation of that publication. The volumes, as issued, are not numbered, and for convenience of reference are cited as if numbered in the order of their publication. This remark is rendered necessary by the fact that the volumes are not in regular succession in point of time, the third volume being synchronous with the other two, giving the Proceedings of the Colonial Council for the same period for which the first and second give the Proceedings of the General Assembly. The first volume issued contained the Proceedings of the Assembly from 1637 to 1664, and is referred to as "1 Ar."; the second, Proceedings of Assembly from 1666 to 1676, referred to as "2 Ar."; and the third, Proceedings of the Council from 1636 to 1667, referred to as "3 Ar."
