MARYLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY. An association founded in 1844 for the purpose of collecting and arranging material relating to the history of Maryland. It now owns the Athenæum Building, on Saratoga Street, Baltimore, in which it has gathered a priceless collection of manuscripts, documentary records, books, and pamphlets. There are also three galleries of historic curios, portraits, and valuable paintings. The society has done great service in rescuing, editing, and printing historical data. Its series of Fund Publications (37 in number) contains many valuable reprints and monographs.
MARYLAND YELLOWTHROAT. A North American warbler (Geothlypis trichas), common in summer throughout the continent. It is about 5½ inches long, olive-green above and bright yellow below, with a conspicuous broad black band or ‘mask’ across the forehead (of the male), which includes the bill, extends back to a point on each side of the neck, and is bordered above by a white line; the female has only a dull white line above the eye. These warblers spend their time near the ground and make their nests there, usually beside a stream; and they utter a short, questioning song as characteristic as it is pretty. Several closely allied species, as the Kentucky warbler (q.v.), mourning, Connecticut, and McGillivray's warblers, belong to this genus, and visit the United States, while several others are found only in Mexico and Central America.
MARYLAND YELLOWTHROAT.
MARYLEBONE, mā′rĭ-lē̇-bōn′, commonly mā′rĭl-bō̇n or măr′-ĭ-bŭn. A metropolitan and Parliamentary borough of London, in the northwestern part of the city. It is regularly laid out, with many handsome streets, and here are situated Regent's Park, the gardens of the Zoölogical and Botanic societies, the Colosseum, Middlesex and other hospitals, University College, and the terminal stations of the Midland, Great Western, and Great Northern railroads. Population, in 1891, 144,083; in 1901, 133,329.
MARY MAGDALENE, măg′dȧ-lēn, or măg′-dȧ-lē′nē̇, or Mary of Magdala. A woman mentioned in the Gospels as a follower of Jesus and, with others, a contributor to His support (Luke viii. 2-3). Her home was doubtless at Magdala (q.v.). She had been cured of demoniacal possession by Jesus and was among His most devoted friends. With the like-minded women she was a witness of the crucifixion (Matt. xxvii. 55, 56; Mark xv. 40-41; Luke xxiii. 48-49) and of the entombment of Jesus (Matt. xxvii. 61 and parallels). The same company came to the tomb on the Sunday morning following the crucifixion, and, finding it open and empty, ran back to the city to inform the disciples (Matt. xxviii. 1-10 and parallels). But Mary appears to have soon returned alone to the tomb, and to her the risen Jesus first appeared (John xx. 1-18; Mark xvi. 9). Her joy on hearing and seeing Him again was excessive, but Jesus would not permit her to touch Him, to show her that the relation between them was now entirely different from what it had been. Nothing more is told of her in the New Testament. The very common identification of her with the ‘woman who was a sinner’ (Luke vii. 36-50) rests on no sure foundation. This idea, the ruling one in art and literature, with its accompanying conception of the word ‘Magdalene,’ has therefore no basis in fact. A late and confused legend represented her as ending her days in Southern France. Consult Mrs. Jameson, Sacred and Legendary Art, vol. ii. (London, 1866); Baring-Gould, In Troubadour Land (London, 1890).
