Dulanys History Of Maryland PDF Download

Excerpt from Dulany's History of Maryland: From 1632 to 1881; Prepared for the Use of Schools in the State The study of history ought to begin at home, for it is well said that "charity begins at home," and it may be properly added that a knowledge of the history of our home is a charity bestowed upon us. It is highly probable that the people of Maryland have a more extensive knowledge of the history of Greece, Rome, or England, and the characters of their leading men, than of the history of their own state and its honored founders, who built for us, and consumed themselves on the altars of progress for our homes, our welfare, and glory. The history of Maryland is just as full of "philosophy teaching by example" as the history of any other state, and has hundreds of little episodes and anecdotes of thrilling interest, pleasing to youth and age, in the localities where they occurred. In this little work, the history of Maryland is not inclined to the right nor to the left, but follows the record, administering justice to all - the aboriginal occupants of the soil, the European settlers, and the great masses of their children, dead and living.
