roiYKi ok, He who would collect old houses must possess Much
enthusiasm, a determination that will not be dis~; niraged, and a
fine power of walking. Fully one-half t't the points that he visits
because of hearsay will be found to be without interest, and of the
others that he ** ek out only a few insignificant facts will at
first be tt-teertainablo, A continual source of surprise to one
who: em even in the immediate neighborhood in which Mey have stood
for so many years. The material in this book has been gathered from
jt* r. sonal vinJts and studies at first hand of the houses k I
have had certain def inite ends. I wished to cull attention, first,
to tht* many beautiful colonial survivals to be found in Maryland
and Delaware. Then through the photography anil re production of
certain architectural details ( sueh as* in particular, doorway**),
1 have hoped to bring . sugges tion to those about to build home*
of the present day. Finally I have laid . some sirens on family
history that the descendants of old families in the two States
might feel an especially elose drawing to them* shrine* of the life
of yesterday, The work of gathering together the photograph* ami
data presented in the following pag** s hits meant mueh trumping,
buggy ruling anil bunting, the first a no light task with a fifteen
pound earner**, but it has N* en a labor of love, I wish to
neknuwletlge the valuable assistance of my friend, Mielwel Warner
Ifeweit, Tn, in the preparation of several of my chapter*, particu
larly thoserelating in Ka* t** rn Shore point*. tlAumm* ft Mf>,
