Book Description

Excerpt from The Founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, Maryland: A Genealogical and Biographical Review From Wills, Deeds and Church Records For the first time in all history an ideal government had been organized in Maryland; a benevolent lord with knightly powers was at its head. An act of toleration had just been passed. It was the joint pro duct of liberal men of all faiths, but it was at a time when the mother country was involved in religious controversies, which, of necessity, were just as bitter here. Hence the act of toleration was for a season obscured in Maryland; but its influence, once felt, continued to grow until it became a leaven of enlightenment, ending finally in complete revolution.
