Excerpt from The Self-Reconstruction of Maryland: 1864-1867 In the year 1901 I published in the John Hopkins Studies (Series XIX) a monograph upon the subject of the Maryland constitution of 1864. The present study is a continuation of the earlier work in point of time, and I have endeavored to show the method by which Maryland entered upon a process of self-reconstruction during the years 1864 to 1867, and the relation of this movement to national politics. It is with pleasure that I acknowledge my great indebtedness to Professors John Martin Vincent and Charles M. Andrews, and to Dr. Bernard C. Steiner, of the Johns Hopkins University, to my relatives Mr. Isaac T. Norris, Mr. J. Olney Norris, and Mr. W. Starr Gephart, of Baltimore, and to numerous surviving leaders of the period, for their unfailing counsel, and for aid in opening up new and valuable sources of information. I have also availed myself of the kind help of Mr. George V. McCreary, Librarian of the Maryland Historical Society, on numerous occasions.

President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of September 22, 1862, did not apply to Maryland, as this state was not in rebellion, hence the local movement was necessary in order to carry out the policy of the National Government, and the Constitution of 1864, with its prohibitory clause in regard to slavery. The book looks at the political movement leading to the call of the Constitutional Convention; gives an account of the sittings of that Convention and the formation of a new Constitution; and tells of the acceptance of the Constitution by the state. --From preface.
