Click, Patricia Catherine. "Enlightened Entertainment: Educational Amusements in Nineteenth-Century Baltimore." Maryland Historical Magazine 85 (Spring 1990): 1-14.
Notes: Click argues that during the nineteenth century popular amusements--such as exhibits, museums, and lectures--in cities like Baltimore shifted in their justification from emphasis upon education and uplift to entertainment for its own sake. She illustrates the change with examples, ranging from the famous mastodon skeleton featured in Peale's Museum when it was established in 1813 to the display of curiosities, freaks, and exotic cultural oddities that became more common in the popular entertainment later in the century.

Davis, Richard Beale. Intellectual Life in the Colonial South 1585-1763, 3 vols. Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 1978.
Notes: Davis's three-volume work surveys the "nature and development of the southern mind" during the colonial period and seeks to counter the standard interpretation of the predominant role of colonial New England in shaping the intellectual life of what would become the new nation. Topics include education, libraries and printing, religious writings, fine arts, literature, and public oratory. The volumes draw extensively on manuscript collections, some only recently discovered, in Britain and the United States, including important Maryland archives; chapters are followed by extensive bibliographies and notes.

McGowan, Lynn. "A Survey of Irish Usage among Immigrants in the United States." In The Irish Language in the United States: A Historical, Sociolinguistic, and Applied Linguistic Study, edited by Thomas W. Ihde. Westport, CT: Bergin & Garvey, 1994, 67-76.
Notes: To evaluate the persistence of Irish language usage by Irish immigrants to the United States in the period following 1922, McGowan conducted a limited survey of respondents in New York, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. In order to determine the impact of Irish language instruction fostered by the Free State of Ireland, she selected only those who had been educated in Irish primary schools after the implementation of the language policy. She found that for most immigrants to the United States, Irish had remained a "school language," not used a great deal in everyday life, though there were important degrees of persistence in reading, writing, and conversation.
