Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir George Calvert, Baron of Baltimore: A Paper Read Before the Maryland Historical Society, April 14th, 1884 The history of the Baltimore family is indissolubly linked with the history of the province of Maryland. The first Lord Baltimore, Sir George Calvert, though dying two months before the charter of Maryland had passed the great seal of England, and two years before the first settlers arrived in the colony, had laid the beginnings of the colony. To his son and successor, Cecilius Calvert, the privilege was granted of sending over the immigrants of 1634, and of completing the initial steps taken by his father, by which a new province was added to the British Empire in America. As lord proprietor of Maryland for almost a half century, he occupied an important part in moulding the constitutional, religious and economic history of the colony. The last baron of Baltimore died in 1771, only a few years before the inhabitants of his province declared themselves an independent commonwealth. The biography of each member of the family is sufficiently interesting in itself to claim the attention of the historian. From the accession of James I. to the reign of George III., the Calverts enjoyed a high political and social rank in England; but the most important member of the family was, beyond all doubt, its founder, George Calvert. The history of the first baron of Baltimore is peculiarly interesting from many points of view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
