Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rob of the Bowl: A Legend of St. Inigoe´s; A Story of the Early Days of Maryland The tale related in the following pages refers to a period in the history of Maryland, which has heretofore been involved in great obscurity, - many of the most important records connected with it having been lost to public inspection in forgotten repositories, where they have crumbled away under the touch of time. To the persevering research of the accomplished Librarian of the State - a gentleman whose dauntless, antiquarian zeal and liberal scholarship are only surpassed by the enlightened judgment with which he discharges the functions of his office - we are indebted for the rescue of the remnant of these memorials of by-gone days, from the oblivion to which the carelessness of former generations had consigned them. Many were irrecoverable; and it was the fate of the gentleman referred to, to sec them fall into the dust at the moment that the long estranged light first glanced upon them. To some of those which have been saved from this wreck, the author is indebted for no small portion of the materials of his story.
