We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Mary was born on August 15, 1865 in Westmoreland County, Virginia, United States, of prominent stock, daughter of the Rt. Rev. John Brockenbrough Newton and his wife Roberta Page (Williamson) Newton. She was a descendant of John Newton who emigrated from Hull, Yorkshire, first to Maryland and then to Westmoreland County about 1675.
She attended first the ordinary schools near her home, later graduating from the Leache-Wood School in Norfolk, but she grew up in a literary atmosphere and early developed scholarly instincts.
Reared to venerate Virginia's past and to believe in its present, her residence in Richmond enabled her to gratify her interest in both.
Her first volume was her original and meritorious study, The Story of Bacon's Rebellion (1907), although she had previously collaborated with her husband in the laborious and highly valuable compilation, The Colonial Virginia Register (1902); this she followed with The Dreamer; a Romantic Rendering of the Life-Story of Edgar Allan Poe (1909), in which particular emphasis was laid on the poet's early life in Richmond. More significant, and likely to prove her most enduring works, are her detailed and interesting social histories, Colonial Virginia, Its People and Customs (1917) and Richmond, Its People and Its Story (1923), both abounding in excellent word pictures of noteworthy and influential people and events.
Besides numerous magazine articles and short stories, she published two other brief volumes, John Marshall (1913), and John Brockenbrough Newton (1924), first published serially in the Virginia Churchman, a biographical sketch of her father, at one time rector of Monumental Episcopal Church in Richmond and later bishop coadjutor of Virginia; she edited, most capably, the Edgar Allan Poe Letters Till Now Unpublished, in the Valentine Museum, Richmond, Virgnia (1925), and in 1928 published her last book, The Story of Virginia's First Century.
She died on June 5, 1929 in Richmond.
Mary Mann Page Newton Stanard was famous as the wroter of a series of social histories of Virginia including Colonial Virginia, Its People and Customs (1917) and Richmond, Its People and Its Story (1923). She also edited Edgar Allan Poe Letters Till Now Unpublished in the Valentine Museum, Richmond. Stanard was vice-president of the Virginia Society of the Colonial Dames of America. Also she was a president of the Richmond Woman's club.

She was a member of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities until her death and a member of the Virginia Society of the Colonial Dames of America and others.
Throughout her life, despite her sociable and companionable nature and her none too robust health, she remained essentially the student.
On April 17, 1900, she married William Glover Stanard of Richmond, Virginia, corresponding secretary of the Virginia Historical Society, and thereby associated herself permanently with the city whose history she was so lovingly to record. She died in Richmond, survived by her husband. They had no children.
