Excerpt from History of Maryland: With Brief Biographies of Distinguished Statesmen, Philanthropists, Theologians, Etc, , And the Constitution of the State, Prepared for the Schools of Maryland The province of a text-book in History designed for use in schools is to present briefly and clearly historical facts uncolored by personal prejudice. While it is possible in a book of this description to preserve a clue regard for the "logic of events, " and to render the story to a certain degree attractive, yet much that is of interest in biography, in incident, and in descriptions of manners and customs will, of necessity, be omitted. All that should be reasonably expected will have been accomplished, if, in addition to a knowledge of the outlines of History imparted by a work of this kind, the desire is awakened for more extended information concerning the characters and events therein mentioned or described. In accordance with these ideas, the author has written this History of Maryland, bringing to the task an extended public-school experience. He has also been fortunate in having the advice and assistance of several prominent residents of the State, whose intimate knowledge of its history affords a guarantee of the general correctness of the work.
