Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Talbot County, Maryland, Vol. 1 of 2: 1661-1861 The human mind can not be contented with the present. It is ever journeying through the trodden regions of the past, or making adventurous excursions into the mysterious realms of the future. Of the future, but little is known; clouds and darkness rest upon it. We stretch out our arms toward its shadowy inhabitants; we invoke our posterity, but they answer us not. We wander in its dim precincts till reason becomes confused, and at last we start back in fear, like mariners who have entered an unknown ocean, of whose winds, tides, currents, and quicksands they are wholly ignorant. Then it is, we turn for relief to the past, that mighty reservoir of men and things. There we have something tangible to which our sympathies can attach, upon which we can lean for support, from which we can gather knowledge and learn wisdom. Our attention is aroused by the great moral events which have controlled the fortunes of those who have preceded us, and influence our own. With curious wonder we gaze down the long aisles of the past upon the generations that are gone. We behold, as in a magic glass, men in form and feature like ourselves, actuated by the same motives, urged by the same passions, busily engaged in shaping both their destinies and ours. We approach them and they refuse not our invocation. But most of all, among the innumerable multitudes who peopled the past, we seek our own ancestors, drawn toward them by an irresistible sympathy. Indeed, they were our other selves. With reverent solicitude we examine into their characters and actions. We search with avidity the most trivial circumstances in their life history, and eagerly treasure up every memento of their fortunes. The instincts of our nature bind us indissolubly to them, and link our fates with theirs. Honor of ancestor, respect for their virtues, and love for their memory ennoble the people who cherish them. Men can not live without a past. It is as essential to them as a future. Into its vast confines I invite my readers to journey with me and to bold converse with the early worthies of Talbot County, the founders of this fair land, men who were prominent under proprietary rule and colonial conditions, and men also who laid the foundations of our State Government and its best institutions. We shall speak to them and they will answer us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Wenlock Christison and the Early Friends in Talbot County Maryland written by Samuel A. Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wenlock Christison, and the Early Friends in Talbot County, Maryland: A Paper Read Before the Maryland Historical Society, March 9th, 1874 The paper which follows was originally written as a contribution to a projected History of Talbot county, Maryland. This will account for and perhaps excuse the introduction of so many references to persons, places and events which must possess merely a local interest. These could not have been eliminated from the memoir, when it was to be presented through the Historical Society to a wider public than that for which it was designed, without recasting the whole and rejecting what some may think gives to it its chief value. The engrafting upon the narrative of the life of the Quaker confessor so much that is purely incidental, relating to the early Friends, renders the essay liable to unfavorable criticism as a symmetrical literary work; but a correction of this very evident fault might, also, impair its value, while it rendered it more artistic. Besides, such correction would be directly contrary to the wishes of the Historical Society as expressed at the time of the reading of the paper. Whatever claims to originality the memoir possesses are based upon that portion which relates to Wenlock Christison's career as a citizen of Maryland, in Talbot county. Of that part of his life which was spent in New England, and which indeed is the most interesting, the writer of this essay has done little more than glean the incidents scattered here and there in a rather rare and confusedly written book, and arrange them in some kind of order - a task by no means the most easy of accomplishment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Case of Sir Edward Talbot There had been a perfectly noticeable pause before he answered, which suggested strongly that he had either been searching his memory - a manifest ah surdity - or stimulating his inventive faculty. Yet he appeared too well - bred a man to believe that the fact of having been in residence at a University con ferred upon one a distinction. Had there been the least trace of boastful vulgarity in his demeanour, an observer might have been excused for suspecting that his undergraduate days were imaginary.

This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Talbot County, Maryland, 1661-1861, Vol. 2 of 2: Compiled Principally From the Literary Relics of the Late Samuel Alexander Harrison, A. M. M.D The whole drama of the dead past is reenacted with all its cast of characters, with all its scenery and appointments, just as the drama of the living-present is now placed upon the stage. What play in the mimic theatre can equal this in vividness, in its realism, in its absorbing interest? He who makes himself a spectator truly lives a double life a life in the past, and a life in the present, and his years though not multiplied in number, are surely increased in capacity. George Eliot, in her fascinating novel Romola, expresses her reverence for the de parted, who have left us examfles of right living, when she makes blind Bardo say to his daughter Romola, when she had finished reading to him from one of his favorite classics. It is true, Romola. It is a true conception of the poet: for what is that grosser, narrower light by which men behold merely the petty scene around them, compared with that far-stretching, lasting light which spreads over centuries of thought, and over the life of nations, and makes clear to us the minds of the immortals, who have reaped the great harvest and left us to glean in their furrows? For me, Romola, even when I could see, it was with the great dead that I lived; while the living often seemed to me mere spectres - shadows dispossessed of true feeling and intelligence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beauty Talbot, Vol. 1 of 3 Round about it rose and fell a warm cozy sort of country, with a snug and sheltered lane that led up to a village, and another that brought us to a no less sheltered high road, along which wandered the unfre quent tramp, or groaned the laden four horse waggon, and merrily bowled the light coach, which the railway had not yet driven out, as St. Patrick might have done a solitary snake. Half a mile off behind the clump, nestled the village, which was indeed not worth a station, and beyond the village a dotted settlement of not more than half a dozen houses, which was the neighbourhood. These were of an old pattern, and stood scat tered like vedettes. Here was none of the herding, and economical clustering of new houses upon ground that is being built upon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse Commemorative of the Reverend Talbot Wilson It is with a feeling almost of filial respect and affection that I undertake this morning, at the request of Consistory, to speak of the life and character of the late Dr. Chambers. For the past sixteen years I have been most intimately and happily associated with him in the ministry of this church. I shall never forget with what frank cordiality he received me when I came to it, under circumstances which might not have disposed him to show me any unusual kindness. But he admitted me at once to his confidence, and was always ready to give me such counsel and help as I needed. During all of this period no shadow of misunderstanding or of distrust has ever fallen on our friendship. My respect for his ability, his attainments and his character has steadily deepened, and I long since became conscious of a strong and tender affection for him, which sprang at first from his unvarying kindness and was confirmed by the frequent opportunities which I enjoyed of observing his simplicity, earnestness and elevation of spirit. In his modesty and humility he probably never suspected how much he was beloved by those who knew him well. And he was reserved in the expression of his own affectionate feeling.
