SECRETARY
CF THE
Society for the History I Germans io Maryland,"
Mr. President and Gentlemen:
During the past year the Society for the History of the Germans in Maryland held eight meetings, the December meeting being omitted by. reason of insufficient attendance on the part of the members.
No original article was furnished during this time and but few extracts of recent Historical Publications were read. The hour of meeting was generally fully occupied by the consideration of correspondence, which had largely increased. But though no original articles were furnished, the Society by the publication of Mr. L. P. Ilennighausen’s article: “Reminiscences of the Political Life of the G er man-Americans in Baltimore During the Years 1850—18G0,” and of Vol. I of Mr. Herrmann Schuricht’s manuscript, “History of the Early Germans in Virginia,” both of which had been read in previous meetings, was enabled to furnish a volume of such intrinsic value as to awaken an earnest interest in all parts of the Country. The daily Press, students of history, societies and individuals gave expression of their interest in this publication. The second volume of this valuable contribution of “ The History of the Early Germans in Virginia,” is to be published during the coming year.
