Book Description
Excerpt from Archives of Maryland, Vol. 42: Proceedings and Acts of the General Assembly of Maryland (20), 1740-1744 In my judgment, it is some defect even in the best writers of history, that they do not Often enough summarily deliver and set down the most memorable laws that passed in the times whereof they writ, being indeed the principal acts Of peace. TO the end that this reproach may be removed, as far as writers upon Maryland history are concerned, the materials are provided through printing of the Acts of the General Assembly in these volumes. It is a toilsome task to work one's way through the volumes of Proceedings to the Assembly, but unless such work is successfully prosecuted by students with a kindly feeling toward the participants in the discussions we cannot have impartial history. T. R. Glover's words (christian Tradition, p. 72) are very true that: Sine ira et studio is the phrase Of Tacitus - yet without anger and partisanship, but not without sympathy, we must go quietly and slowly about our work; hurry is fatal in historical study.
