Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Distinguished Marylanders

In the material furnished to the present writer, only the true worth of great actions was considered. It is not incumbent upon an author to make laborious search for the petty weaknesses or greater faults com mon to all humanity. The better work is to discover, as clearly as possible, those nobler traits of soul that elevate men and women to a standard that inspires rev erence towards our heroes and heroines of History. When in daily life we are familiar with sorrow wrought through the words or acts of evil-intentioned mischief makers, how earnestly should we guard from slander the names of those whose fame we love.
