Book Description
Excerpt from The Birth and Growth of Toleration First, a few words about the great empires of the world. In respect of the Greeks and Romans, the system of polytheism - howsoever it arose, whatsoever it portended - made for Toleration. When the State, by way of conquest, took over any country, it installed the gods of that country in its Pantheon. Doubtless, certain states and cities had tutelary deities - such as Pallas at Athens, Artemis at Ephesus - concerning whose honour the inhabitants were exceeding jealous; yet this devotion did not prevent their rendering to other deities due respect. Even in late times, there were certain illicit religions - amongst which Christianity ranked in the period of its early struggles, until its purpose was fully declared of sweeping away all religions and all gods save One.

Book Description
Excerpt from Maryland: The Land of Sanctuary; A History of Religious Toleration in Maryland From the First Settlement Until the American Revolution It has been said that the happiest nations are those having the least history and this is par ticularly applicable to Maryland. Her annals are not filled with those turbulent events that go to make up the story of most of the other colonies; hers was a government of benevolence, good order and toleration, and under the Proprietary administration there were few dark intrigues and tragic scenes. She is possessed of a distinction all her own. Her influence, from the first scored deep and wide; and from the planting of the Cross upon St. Clement's Island, her sons have been sec ond to none among the history-makers of America. While the records of most of the other settlements are strongly colored with cruelty and bloodshed, the history of Maryland is that of religious tolera tion in its struggle toward development and ma turity; of her was born freedom of conscience in the New World. The religious and civil elements of her origin and growth are inseparable. The fair and broad spirit generally exhibited by non-catholic authors in writing the history of our State affords good reason to believe that a nar rative of those events which are closely associated with religious toleration under Catholic auspices.

Book Description
Excerpt from Of Civil Government and Toleration Chancellor, and he made John Locke Secretary of Presentations under him during his year of office. In June, 1673, Shaftesbury made Locke also Secretary to a Commission of the Board of Trade, which cffice, with a salary of 500 a year, Locke held until the Commission came to an end in December, 1674. Locke had gone to Montpellier, where there was a great medical school, to unite study with the necessary residence in Southern Europe, where he was threatened seriously with advance of consumption, and he was at work there on his Essay Concerning Human Under standing, when Shaftesbury called him back. He was by Shaftesbury's side in the next months of peril from the conflict with the king. After his escape from the scaffold in 1682 Shaftesbury went to Holland, and died there in 1683. Locke also found it necessary to leave England, and settled in Amsterdam, where he established a fast friendship with Philip van Lim borch, pastor of the Church of the Remonstrants, who was within a year of his own age, and like himself was full of a religious spirit of liberty.
