Excerpt from Notes on Recent Work in Southern History: A Paper Read Before the Virginia Historical Society, Monday, December 21, 1891But Maryland has a still greater claim to our attention, from the fact that the Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore is the centre of historical investigation in this country. It is no ex aggeration to say, that the work Professor Herbert B. Adams is doing with his graduate classes is likely to be Me most important factor in the future development of historical studies in the South. Every year Dr. Adams sends out one or more young South erners trained for historical pursuits, ready to teach history in our colleges, and eager to prosecute original researches in the history of their respective States. I know of three such students sent to Southern colleges within the past year. Besides, the John Hopkins is itself forming a valuable library of materials for Southern history. The Scharf collection recently secured, is, i am informed, full of good things, and I can testify from personal examination to the value of the Birney collection in all matters relating to slavery. Nor should the essays and treatises on topics of Southern history, written at the Johns Hopkins, under Dr. Adam's own eye, be omitted from this count, especially the educational mongraphs which he has edited. Attention should also be called to the publications of the Maryland Historical Society under the editorship of another Hopkins official, Dr. William Hand Browne.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
