The name of Calvert is a better symbol of wisdom than the name of Berkeley.

Cecil Calvert, second Lord Baltimore, dying in 1675, has a fair niche in the temple of human enlightenment.

His son Charles succeeded, third Lord Baltimore and Lord Proprietary of Maryland.
Well-intentioned, this Calvert lacked something of the ability of either his father or his grandfather.

Though he lived in Maryland while his father had lived in England, his government was not as wise as his father's had been.
But in Maryland, even before the death of Cecil Calvert, inherent evils were beginning to form of themselves a visible body.

In Maryland, as in Virginia, there set in after the Restoration a period of reaction, of callous rule in the interests of an oligarchy.
