Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discourse in Commemoration of the Landing of the Pilgrims of Maryland: Pronounced at Mt; St. Mary´s College, May 10, 1847 Not many years ago, the Pilgrims of Maryland were permitted to sleep uncommemorated even by those, who trod the very soil that had been the cradle of the infant colony: but they are no longer unsung and unrevered. Though we learned as soon as we could read, to admire the Puritan and to sympathize with him in all his struggles with the Indian, there was no juvenile history to people the shores of the Chesapeake with venerated forms. Cape Cod was our first love. But this season of apathy is over. The historian whose "first fruits" make us so deeply regret that they are still his last, has brought to light the ancient image of our State, long buried like the masterpiece of antiquity, - has given us a classic Maryland to cherish and preserve. The name of Calvert is prominent in Bancroft´s colonial history, where the peculiar glory of the colony he planted, is briefly but forcibly displayed. An altar has been thus erected to the founders of our State. You know, my friends, how that altar has been enriched with the yearly offerings of genius and eloquence, by some who are amongst us, by others whose hearts are here, and by one who has left us in the hope of a better world, until it has become a fitting memorial of the virtues it celebrates. I can add nothing to its beauty: but we can observe together the rite that should never he neglected, of dedicating one day in the year to the memory of the Pilgrims of Maryland.
