The vignettes include: Chesapeake & Delaware Canal; Ship Canal 350 Miles Shorter to Europe; Iron Ore Works; Ship Building; Marble & Granite, and more. The title is taken from the first few lines at bottom taken from a speech given in New York by General Felix Agnus. A most uncommon map of Maryland.
