Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from George Calvert and Cecilius Calvert: Barons Baltimore of Baltimore Both George and Cecilius Calvert may claim the title of founders of Maryland. The original design belongs to the former; the charter was a modification of his earlier charter of Avalon, and was, no doubt, drawn up in conformity with his suggestions; only his personal favor with the king would have obtained a grant of such a nature, and nothing but what we may call the accident of his death prevented his being the first proprietary. On the other hand, it was Cecilius in whose name the charter was drawn, who sent out the first colonists and guided their earliest political steps, and who watched over the infancy of the colony and shielded it from ruin. The characters of the two seem much alike. There is the same patience, the same humanity of disposition, the same moderation, and the same steadiness of purpose. But in one respect there is a great difference for the biographer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
