Colonial Mansions Of Maryland And Delaware
Author: John Martin Hammond

Text extracted from opening pages of book: COLONIAL MANSIONS OF MARYLAND AND DELAWARE JOHN MARTIN HAMMOND WITS SIXTY-FIVE ILLUSTRATIONS PHILADELPHIA tf LONDON J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY 10U roiYKi ok, He who would collect old houses must possess Much enthusiasm, a determination that will not be dis~ ; niraged, and a fine power of walking. Fully on... more »e-half t't the points that he visits because of hearsay will be found to be without interest, and of the others that he ** ek out only a few insignificant facts will at first be tt-teertainablo, A continual source of surprise to one who :< - arches for colonial homen is how little is known about *> em even in the immediate neighborhood in which Mey have stood for so many years. The material in this book has been gathered from jt* r. sonal vinJts and studies at first hand of the houses < f* scribed* Much of the literary matter has come from pirate papers and from the recollections of the older {^ aeration of the descendants of builders of Maryland * * ** I Delaware mansions. The photographs I have made wvwlf. I wish to make acknowledgment of inspira tion and help gained from certain indefatigable workers i* history, whose researches have gone into almost every M* ok of the fluid in Maryland and Delaware. Any one delves into Maryland archives will be sure to come the path of Mrs, Hester Borsey Richardson, one of ihe first authorities on Maryland genealogy. Much PREFACE of the available data of the history of Alary land and Delaware will be found in the voluminous writings of John Thomas SeharfF, particularly in his History of Maryland n and his History of Delaware.' No more complete sectional history was ever published than Joshua D. Warfield's Founders of Howard and Anne Arundel Counties/* The annals of Southern Maryland have been gathered together and told in a most scholarly fashion by James Walter Thomas in Chronicles of Saint Mary's County/' In the making of this lK*> k I have had certain def inite ends. I wished to cull attention, first, to tht* many beautiful colonial survivals to be found in Maryland and Delaware. Then through the photography anil re production of certain architectural details ( sueh as* in particular, doorway**), 1 have hoped to bring . sugges tion to those about to build home* of the present day. Finally I have laid . some sirens on family history that the descendants of old families in the two States might feel an especially elose drawing to them* shrine* of the life of yesterday, The work of gathering together the photograph* ami data presented in the following pag** s hits meant mueh trumping, buggy ruling anil bunting, the first a no light task with a fifteen pound earner**, but it has N* en a labor of love, I wish to neknuwletlge the valuable assistance of my friend, Mielwel Warner Ifeweit, Tn, in the preparation of several of my chapter*, particu larly those relating in Ka* t** rn Shore point*. tlAumm* ft Mf>, ** M.
