JAMES OSBURN [stc]. SEPT 13TH, 1818 DRAWN BY S. SMITH ENGRAVED BY J. HILL. PUBLISHED BY G. SMITH NO. 5 SOUTH GAY ST. BALTIMORE MAY 30TH 1819. ** Aquatint. 41 X 59.2 cm. Koke 157; Stauffer 1323. MdBPM, MdHi (hand colored), Merrick (hand colored). An advertisement in the Federal Gazette and Baltimore Daily Advertiser, November 19, 1818, laments that since "the rapid extension of buildings in the city of Baltimore is daily encroaching upon the beautiful scenery that its neigh- borhood presented, to preserve one of those charming views, as a matter of history, which may also serve to embellish the walls of the patrons of the fine arts, the subscriber has caused a FINE SKETCH to be taken of a delightful spot adjacent to col. Howard's seat.... This Sketch is intended to be aquatinted by a pupil of the celebrated Jukes, in the very first style. The plate will be 24 X 18 inches, and the price in the sheet, Five Dollars—or be framed splendidly to cost for the plate, frame and glass. Fifteen Dollars, in a manner fit to ornament the parlour of any gentleman.... Geo Smith, 5, South Gay street." This "charming" view looking northwest across Jones Falls at Biddle Street is hardly recognizable today. The minister performing the rite in midstream had recently established the Third Baptist Church on the site of Baltimore's first Baptist church at Fayette and Front streets, where the Shot Tower now stands. The mansion on the hill to the right, near the present intersection of Preston Street and Guilford Avenue, belonged to William Duncan McKim. The large building behind the smaller dwelling in the foreground is the Salisbury Flour Mill. The building at the extreme right is a plaster-of-Paris mill. The miller's house is behind the trees in the upper center. The drawing was made by S. Smith, probably Samuel Smith, listed in the Baltimore directories from 1824 to 1836 as artist and drawing master; also 1851.

  • June 2017 Janua Welcome to a New Year of New Books!
    NEW TITLES JANUARY - JUNE 2017 WELCOME TO A NEW YEAR OF NEW BOOKS! As we move through the remnants of 2016, a look back on the past year might inspire the well-worn adage, “you couldn’t make this stuff up”. The world looks forward to the next few years with anxious hearts and minds. While in 2016 truth may be stranger than fiction, at Jacaranda we enter 2017 with a stellar list of uniquely brilliant and illuminating tales. Whether debut voices, or veteran our authors take us from the darkly funny world of Nigerian satire with Anietie Isong’s RADIO SUNRISE, through the stifling exacting world of Tokyo motherhood, with Rahdika Jha’s exquisite novel, MY BEAUTIFUL SHADOW. Starkly evocative landscapes and searing observations of human cruelty and kindness make this work a stand out feature title for the spring. As we move into the summer, we slip into azure, warm Caribbean waters with two genre fiction offerings: Paula Lennon’sMURDER IN MONTEGO BAY, a crime procedural set in the heart of this famed Jamaican holiday destination and Rasheda Malcolm’s SWIMMING WITH FISHES, a very traditional romantic novel enlivened by its Caribbean setting. These offerings promise a new flavour to well-used recipes, new perspectives on old traditions, and bright new voices in the publishing arena. To say we at Jacaranda are excited about our publishing for next year would be a great understatement; we are ecstatic and sincerely hope you will be too.

  • Engaged Leadership
    Generations of M ryland's political lead rs trace the origin of their careers in public ervice to lesson chool of Law. By Bill Thompson THROUGHOUT HIS LONG AND STORIED POLITICAL career, U.S. Senator Charles "Mac" Mathias (,49) stood as a man of uncompromising principle, his calm and civil demeanor belying a willingness to fight tenaciously for his deeply held convictions. As a young city attorney in his rural hometown of Frederick, he worked with Juanita Jackson Mitchell ('50) to desegregate the city's '•.•.,"~.'."'-:;"-movie theater. As a freshman congressman in 1960, he authored ~~~~~~e!!~ and introduced the first federal anti-segregation legislation, helping pave the way for the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As a three-term U.S. senator, first elected in 1968, Mathias con- tinued his steadfast support of civil rights, and time after time was an early and effective advocate for other similar measures-an end to hostilities in Vietnam, increased environmental protection, equal access to public education for children with developmental disabilities, and normalization of relations with the Soviet Union among them. While widely lauded today, these POSltlons were highly controversial and polarizing in their day. Solons of state: Charles" Mac" Mathias (left) served Maryland as a U.S. Senator for three terms; Joseph Tydings (right) spent six years in the Senate.

  • THE DYNAMITE MAN: a CHAPTER in AUTOBIOGRAPHY George Woodcock
    THE DYNAMITE MAN: A CHAPTER IN AUTOBIOGRAPHY George Woodcock Τ[HERE ARE PEOPLE who do not necessarily dominate periods of our lives, but who ЖНsignalizЕ e them, so that when we look back to a particular time and pour the blood into the pit like Odysseus, one person advances out of memory before the others to give the tone to that past. In this way Anton Kohout signalized the period when Inge and I returned to Canada from a year — through 1951 and 1952 — spent in France and California. Our first two years in Canada had been spent at Sooke, then a small and remote fishing and logging village on the southwestern tip of Vancouver Island ; I have already told of that precarious time and of the way a Guggenheim fellow- ship in 1951 gave us an unhoped release from a situation of recurrent destitution. In 1952, at the end of the Franco-American interlude, we left the Russian River country of northern California, where we had spent the mild winter in a cabin in the redwood forest and started back to Sooke, to collect the possessions we had stored there and to decide how we would now arrange our lives in Canada, where we had finally decided to remain. As in our first years there, from 1949 to 1951, I had no regular source of income; no more than hopes. The Guggenheim fellowship had allowed me to put aside the small royalties from my book on Western Canada, Ravens and Prophets, and this time we had no intention of even trying to earn our keep by truck gardening, as we had done before.
