Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Maryland, Vol. 1: From Its First Settlement, in 1633, to the Restoration, in 1660, With a Copious Introduction, and Notes and Illustrations To Thomas Wright, Esq., Speaker of the House of Delegates of Maryland. Sir, - I beg leave, through you, as the presiding officer of one branch of the General assembly, to offer for its acceptance the autograph Ms. of a history of Maryland, from its first settlement, in 1633, to the restoration, 1660, by John Leeds Bozman, deceased. An introduction to a history of Maryland, written by my departed friend and relative, was published in the year eighteen hundred ad eleven. The reasons which induced that publication, without the entire history itself, were assigned by the writer in his preface, and his design to complete the history at some future time was then intimated. He continued, for several years, with the utmost zeal to pursue this literary task, - to him a delightful occupation, - but, the rapid decline of his health defeated, in part, the object of his ardent ambition. Although his termination had been to bring his history down to the Revolution, in 1776, he felt himself admonished to close his task and stopped at the period of the Restoration, in 1660. So far, this history, with numerous corrections and additions to the Introduction and an appendix of notes and illustrations, was accurately written out by the author himself, and prepared for the press - and would, altogether, comprise in print, about twelve hundred pages in octavo. Such is a general description of this work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
