Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee Appointed to Prepare a Statement in Relation to the Resources of Maryland

Ordered, That a. Committee of seven be appointed by the Speaker, whose duty it shall be to prepare or have prepared a succinct statement of the soil in different sections of this State, and of its peculiar adaptation to the various productions of agriculture, the proximity to market, the course and capacity of our navigable streams, the water powers and facilities and material for manufactories, and the mineral resources and description of the country; that in the execu tion of these duties they have power to avail themselves of any assistance they may require that said committee report to this House, at as early a day as practicable the result of their labors, said report to be printed in English and German, for extensive circulation throughout the Northern and Western States.

Under this order the committee, as soon as practicable after its adoption, placed themselves in communication with gentlemen of intelligence, and upon whose statements full reliance could be placed, in various parts of the State. It was their wish and earnest effort to make the statement which they might issue perfectly authentic, to raise no expectations which the result would not fully justify.
