Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leading Events of Maryland History: With Topical Analyses, References, and Questions for Original Thought and Research It is very much the fashion nowadays to write a preface to a text-book that is really an apology for its appearance. If not an apology, at least I am willing to offer an explanation for the writing of this little book. Several histories of Maryland have been published since the Civil War for the alleged purpose of furnishing a text for schools. It cannot be denied that these books have not been altogether reliable historically, and none of them can be said to contain the features of the best modern texts in history, or to be pedagogically adapted to the uses of the schoolroom. A word on each of these phases of the subject seems necessary. The material used in the preparation of this book includes, it is believed, the principal matter in print relating to the subjects treated, and embraces contemporary writings, letters, commissions, warrants, newspapers, etc., and the printed state archives; in addition the manuscript sources have been used. The results of exhaustive original research are not embodied in elementary text-books; and while this work is not put forth with such pretensions, it is hoped that it may justly claim to be much more than the lifeless compilations that so often masquerade as state histories (for schools). Great pains have been taken to verify matter that seemed doubtful, while the controverted points have been carefully studied.
