Book Description

Excerpt from An Historical Address Delivered at the Unveiling of the Monument Erected by the State of Maryland: To the Memory of Leonard Calvert, the First Governor of Maryland, at St. Mary's City, St. Mary's County, MD., June 3, 1891 Turn back with me to that epoch of spring solstice, over two centuries and a half ago, and let us spend a portion of our time in attempting to recall the precise incidents which then occurred on this sacred spot on which we are assembled, with some of their immediate antecedents and consequences. It is an old story, it is true; but there are some old stories which are almost forgotten into newness, and there are some old stories which are actually new to every rising generation.
