Busey in the | | Westmoreland Club of that city, another by John A. Elder in the | | Virginia State Library, and a third of some merit in Battle | | Abbey, Richmond. In the State Library is also a cast of the fine | | bust of Maury made by Edward V. Valentine of Richmond in 1869, | | which is considered by Mrs. Werth to be a very excellent likeness | | of her father. There is a statue of Maury over the main entrance | | to the Meteorological Station of the German Admiralty in Hamburg, | | Germany. Recently, the M. F. Maury Chapter of the Children of the | | American Revolution has been organized at Franklin, Tennessee by | | Miss Susie Gentry. | | | | [31] In “American Adventures” (1917), pp. 140–145. | | | | [32] From “Library of Southern Literature”, VIII, 3440. | | | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ [Illustration: Chart from inside front cover] PILOT CHART OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC M.
