Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Colonial History: An Address Made by Thomas Donaldson, Esq., Before the Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore, March 29, 1849, Being the Fourth Annual Address to That Association Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Historical Society: Two hundred and fifteen years ago, "the Ark" and "the Dove," after a voyage of long duration, in which they were beset with many dangers and but narrowly escaped disaster, at last entered together the waters of the broad and peaceful Chesapeake, and steering their course for the Potomac, sailed up between the beautiful groves that crowned its shores. On the 25th of March, 1634, being the feast of the Annunciation, with great pomp, and solemn and religious rites, Leonard Calvert, and the two hundred choice men who had come with him to build their homes in this land of promise, formally took possession of the territories of Maryland, and consecrated the soil to the cause of Christianity, and to the principles of religious liberty. They were peaceful, unambitious men, not led away from their former homes by the love of gold, nor by the desire of power, but anxious alone to find a retreat, where they might quietly reap the fruits of their industry, beyond the reach of the storms of persecution. More than this, they were men ready to act upon principles of the most enlarged charity; since they offered to all denominations of Christians the freedom they claimed for themselves. In this respect, they were far in advance of their age; and on their account our State well deserves the name so happily bestowed upon her of "The Land of the Sanctuary."
