Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archives of Maryland: Journal and Correspondence of the Council of Safety, January, 1 March 20, 1777, And, Journal and Correspondence of the State Council, March 20, 1777 March 28, 1778 The eulogy passed by Chancellor Hanson on the Convention and Council of Safety is worth quoting as a just tribute to the memory of these truly great men. He says: Such an administration, the immediate offspring of necessity, might have been reasonably expected to be subversive of that liberty which it was intended to secure. But in the course of more than two years, during which it was cheerfully submitted to by all except the advocates for British usurpation, although many occasions occurred in which an intemperate zeal transported men beyond the just bounds of modera tion, not a single person fell a victim to the oppression of this irregular government. The truth is, that during the whole memorable interval between the fall of the old, and the institution of the new form of govern ment, there appeared to exist among us such a fund of public virtue as has scarcely a parallel in the annals of the world.
