Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Contribution From the Maryland Historical Society: To the Centennial Celebration of the National Independence of the United States of America, July 4th, 1876 The Maryland Historical Society wishing to bring a proper offering to the first Centennial Celebration of our National Indedendence, resolved, for that purpose, to reprint a Journal of 9 Charles Carroll of Carrollton, of Maryland, signer of the Declaration of Independence. The original manuscript of this record is kept in the Archives of the Society as a precious gift from the descendants of its illustrious author. The Journal was written by Mr. Carroll, in 1716, during a journey to Canada with Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, and Samuel Chase of Maryland, members of Congress, and, - jointly with Mr. Carroll, - its delegated Commissioners to try the feeling, and, if possible, to stir up the Canadians. By the request of Congress the Reverend John Carroll, cousin of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and afterwards, the first Roman Catholic Archbishop of the United States, accompanied these gentlemen on their grave and delicate errand. The undersigned were named by the Society to carry out its wishes; and with great respect, they offer this book as a patriotic memorial - showing that, at the end of one hundred years of National life, Maryland is loyal to the men and memories of 1776.
