An Interesting Book.

There will shortly be issued from the
the press Of the John Murphy Company,
Baltimore, book entitled THE LORDS
BALTIMORE AND THE MARYLAND PALA-
INNATE, being six lectures on Maryland
Colonial History delivered before the
Johus Hopkins University during Feb
ruary and March. 1902, by Clayton c..
Hall, Esq of Baltimore.
As the title implies, the lectures given
not only some personal accounts Of the
several Barons of Baltimore. Proprietaries
of the Maryland Province, but also a
review of the history Of the province it.
self and the relations between it and the
Proprietaries. By reason OF the pal
atinate character of its government,
the colonial history of Maryland presents
many features of special interest to the
student of political institutions in this
country.
The study of Magyland's COLONIAL his
tory has been greatly stimulated and ia
ciliated in recent years, by the publication
of the early Ms. Archives. by the Mary
land Historical Society under the auspices
of the State of Maryland, which has been
in progress since 1882. Twenty-Five years
ago, the only important printed books
available on this subject were Bozman's
History of Maryland, published in 1881,
which brings the history of the Province
down to the year 1860 only; and McMahons
Historical View Of the Government Of
Maryland which appeared in 1881. But
these books were practically out Of print,
and copies were not always easily obtain
ed. During the last quarter of a century
the subject has received renewed atten-
ton at the hands of historians.
Mr.. Hall received number of compli-
mentry communications from persons
who attended the CO urse of lectures, pro-
minent educators and others, advising
their publication, on the ground that he
had succeeded in gathering together a
number of interesting facts not hitherto
assembled in any one publication, and
had also treated with convincing clear
ness several points connected with the
colonial history of Maryland which had
not been SO successfully presented by
previous writer's.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

! President Roosevelt last week issued
his proclamation designating Thursday,
November 9th, as day Of Thanksgiving.
The proclamation is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of our
people, it falls upon the President at this
season to appoint day of festival and
Thanksgiving to God.
"Over century and quarter has
passed since this country took its place
among the nations of the earth, and dur
ing that time we have had on the whole
more to be thankful for than has fallen to
the lot of any other people. Generation
after generation has grown to manhood
and passed away. Each has had to bear
its peculiar burdens, each to face its
special crises, and each has known years
of grim trial, when the country was men,
aced by malice domestic or foreign levy,
when the hand of the Lord was heavy
upon it in drought or food or pestilence,
when in bodily distress and anguish OF
soul it paid the penalty of folly and fro
ward heart.
"Nevertheless, decade by decade, we
have struggled onward and upward; We
now abundantly enjoy material well being,
and under the favor of the Most High we
are striving earnestly to achieve moral
and spiritual uplifting. The year that
has lust closed has been one Of peace and
of over flowing plenty. Rarely has any
people enjoyed greater prosperity than
we are now enjoying. For this we render
heartfelt and solemn thanks to the Oliver
of good, and we seek to praise Him not
by words only, but by deeds, by the way
in which we do our duty to ourselves and
to our fellow-men.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States, do
hereby designate as a day of general
thanksgiving Thursday, the twenty-sev'
enth of the coming November, and do
recommend that throughout the land the
people cease from their ordinary occu.
pations, and in their several homes and
places of worship render thanks unto
Almi ghty God for the manifold blessings
of the past year.
"In witness whereof l have hereunte
set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
twenty ninth day Of October, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and two and of the independence of thu
United States the one hundred and TWEEN
ty-seventh."
