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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland's Colonial Eastern Shore: Historical Sketches of Counties and of Some Notable Structures, Illustrated The principal reasons for my determination to publish this book are as follows: First: There seems to be a demand for a publication of this character. Because the average Marylander is unfamiliar with the geography and history of this part of his State. This applies to residents of the tidewater as well as of the interior sections of Maryland. While residents of each county are more or less familiar with the geography and history of their particular county. Their knowledge of other counties is often very limited. And it is hoped that this book will be of use and permanent value to those Who are interested in these subjects.

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Toleration, or Sketches of the Early History of Maryland, to the Year 1650 But he records - and it forms a beautiful introduction to our religious history - that during the voyage of exploration, our order was daily to have Prayer with a Psalm. Thus early, as we are here shown, two hun dred and forty-six years ago, when the shores of the Chesapeake were occupied by the wild Indians - and they pagans - and its waters for the first time wafted on their surface the bark of the white man - did prayers and hymns of praise ascend in the name of jesus to the living Gon. It was then, for the first time, that the shores and waters of our noble Bay re sounded with the teachings of God's Holy Word, the Bible, and with the Services of His Worship. These men, the then Governor of Virginia, and those with him, were not unmindful in the wilderness and on the deep, of the god Who has all things in His hands. They were Christ ians, Church of England Christians, who had the book of Common Prayer. They were men who prayed to god daily, and daily offered to Him praise. Thus, with the very first sail of our anglo-saxon race, that ever caught the breeze upon the waters of the Chesapeake - came the Bible and the book of Common Prayer - and men of stout Christian hearts to use them. Our order was daily to have Prayer and a Psalm at which solemnity the poor savages much wondered. It was indeed, under the circumstances, a solemnity. It was no light thing, nor was it done in a corner. The Indian himself saw - and seeing it he wondered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book History of Maryland Classic Reprint written by James McSherry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 442 pages. 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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Character of the Province of Maryland: Described in Four Distinct Part, Also a Small Treatise on the Wild and Naked Indians (or Susquehanokes) Of Maryland, Their Customs, Manners, Absurdities, and Religion Alsop's book appeared in 1666. One of the laudatory verses that preface it is dated January, 1665 (g), and' as it would appear that he did not remain In Maryland after the expiration of his four years, except perhaps for a short time in consequence of a fit of sickness to which he alludes, he probably returned to London to resume his Old career. Of his subsequent life nothing is known, and though Allison ascribes to him a volume of Sermons, we may safely express our grave doubts whether the author of this tract can be suspected of anything of the kind. The book, written in a most extravagant style, contains no facts as to the stirring events in Maryland history which preceded its date, and in View, doubtless, of the still exasperated state of public feeling, seems to have studiously avoided all allusion to so unattractive a subject. As an historical tract it derives its chief value from the portion which comprises its Relation of the Susquehanna Indians. The object for which the tract was issued seems evident. It Was designed to stimulate emigration to Maryland, and is written in a vulgar style to suit the class it was to reach. While from its dedication to Lord Baltimore, and the merchant adventurers, we may infer that it was paid for by them, in order to encourage emigration, especially of redemptioners. Much of the early emigration to America was effected by what was called the redemption system. Under this, one disposed to emigrate, but unable to raise the £6, entered into a contract in the following form, with a merchant adventurer, ship owner or ship master, and occasionally with a gentleman emigrant of means, under which the latter gave him his passage and supplies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Maryland: From Its First Settlement in 1634, to the Year 1848 In this work the author has endeavored to compress together, in a popular form, such events in the history of Maryland as would interest the general reader, and to give a simple narration of the settlement of the colony; its rise and progress; its troubles and revolutions; as well as the long periods of peace and serenity, which beautified its early days: - to picture the beginning, the progress, and the happy conclusion of the war of independence - the fortitude and valor of the sons of Maryland upon the field, and their wisdom in council. He has, therefore, dwelt upon those portions of the revolutionary battles, alone, in which they bore a conspicuous part. From the close of that war, and the adoption of the constitution of the United States, - mingling and identifying the most important parts of the history of the State, with that of the nation - he has only attempted to sketch out a few of the results, which have denoted its progress and prosperity, avoiding carefully, as unsuited to the object of his labors, the strifes and contentions of parties, however interesting a portion of its political history they may present. In conclusion, he tenders his acknowledgements to the president and other officers and members of the Maryland Historical Society, for the uniform kindness with which they have at all times afforded him access to their archives, and facilitated his researches among their valuable collections.
