add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "History of Cecil County, Maryland," written by George Johnston. Readers of this book on both sides of the Atlantic will learn with interest that descendants of the family of English writer Daniel Defoe are still living near Nottingham, Maryland. Elizabeth, Daniel's niece, having quarrelled with her family for interfering with her marriage, left her home and embarked for the U.S. This history is not only agreeably written, full of interesting particulars of early Maryland history, and illustrated by a good map, but in typography and general finish is a creditable specimen of Elk ton workmanship.
