St. Mary's residents played a key role in the development of the Catholic Church throughout the whole of America, providing the spearhead of the westward expansion of Catholicism. In 1785, for example, the first of many Catholic families from St. Mary's crossed the mountains to find land in Kentucky, while a few years later, driven by economic necessity, others migrated to Georgia, Missouri, Louisiana, and Texas. Mr. O'Rourke has collected many of the earliest surviving records of the Catholic families of St. Mary's County, Maryland. The most significant portion of the work contains the marriages and baptisms from the Jesuit parishes of St. Francis Xavier and St. Inigoes, which, in the case of baptisms (1767-1794), give the names of children, parents, and godparents, and the date of baptism; and in the case of marriages (1767-1784), the names of the married partners and the date of marriage.
"This is the first comprehensively illustrated catalogue of the Walker Art Gallery's British paintings. It contains illustrations and brief details of each work, making it possible to demonstrate for the first time the full depth and range of the British collection. Since 1927, when the last full Walker Art Gallery catalogue was published, the collections have grown tremendously in number and scope. Detailed scholarly catalogues have been published of the Foreign Schools, Merseyside artists and the early Pre-Raphaelites, and further volumes are in preparation to cover other sections of the collection. In the meantime the present catalogue fulfils a long-felt need to make freely available basic information about the British collection." -- p. vi.
