Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1874 edition. Excerpt: ... were it not for the frequent winds that moderate the heat. The coarse cloth, that serves them for a bed, is skilfully woven out of cotton; when it is bed-time, they hang this from two posts, one at each end and sleep in it; in the day-time, they carry it away again wherever they choose. The ohief articles of trade are grain and cotton. It is delightful to see the plentiful supply of cotton hanging from the trees. The tree, (bush, shrub, ) on which it grows is no larger than the thorn, (which is commonly called the Barberry white thorn, ) although it is more like a tree than a thorn bush; this bears a pod as large as a walnut, but more pointed in its shape, which, separating into four parts, gives forth the cotton, which is whiter than snow and softer than down, rolled up in the shape of a nut. There are six small seeds, like vetches, in the cotton; they gather it in due season, and after clearing it of the seed with a kind of wheel, they store it in bags and preserve it. There is a wonderful kind of cabbage, (6) which has a stalk that grows 180 feet high, and is eaten either raw or boiled. The stalk itself, for a cubit's length below the fruit, is considered a delicacy. When eaten raw with pepper, it excels the Spanish thistle (artichoke.) And WCabbage-tree or Cabbage-Palm, (family of the Palms.) nudatse propior, ingens caulis, arboris bene magnse truncum adsequans neque tamen arbor sed legumen, Brassicam fert non amplius unam. Ibidem videre est arborem satis proceram, quam saponem vocant. Grana saponis nucem avellanam non excedunt magnitudine. Horum pinguis tunica: saponis instar purgat et detergit; quanquam, ut aiunt, lino tenuiori inimica. Ex iis granis multa mecum ablata in Marilandiam, mandavi terrse futurarum arborum semina. Inter

Book Description
Explores the ironies, contradictions, and compromises that give "America's oldest border state"its special character. Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title Maryland: A Middle Temperament explores the ironies, contradictions, and compromises that give "America's oldest border state" its special character. Extensively illustrated and accompanied by bibliography, maps, charts, and tables, Robert Brugger's vivid account of the state's political, economic, social, and cultural heritage—from the outfitting of Cecil Calvert's expedition to the opening of Baltimore's Harborplace—is rich in the issues and personalities that make up Maryland's story and explain its "middle temperament."
