Excerpt from Archives of Maryland, Vol. 41: Proceedings of the Provincial Court of Maryland, 1658-1662 The second editor of the Archives, Clayton C. Hall, Esq, gave a Similar judgment in his Lords Baltimore, at p. 61, thus Throughout, Cecilius seems never to have lost courage and, under all circumstances, he bore himself With wisdom, patience, forbearance, and tact and, by these qualities, he tri umphed in the end. His own interests and his own authority, he carefully guarded, but at the same time, he as carefully sought the welfare of the Province and of the people, who were in a sense his subjects, and when con cessions seemed reasonably demanded, he knew how and when to yield and SO exercised a much less autocratic power than was conferred by the terms of the charter from which his authority was derived. These estimates coincide with the opinion of the present editor. With the period now begun in this volume, the student of Maryland History loses the wise guidance of John Leeds Bozman, the first historian of Maryland, whose remarkable work closes at this date. A new period had been reached, new questions arose, new conditions of living were experienced, the separation of Maryland from Virginia was certain, and thirty years followed before Balti more's power in the Province should again be overthrown. The Province no longer had only two centres of life; but Shores of the Chesapeake were becom ing dotted with plantations and the tobacco ships penetrated nearly every river and estuary which was tributary to the Bay. Lord Baltimore was to reap the fruit of his labors and his descendants should gain a rich return from the Province which he had founded and over which he had resumed his rule.

Proceedings and Acts of the General Assembly of Maryland, July, 1727 August, 1729: With an Appendix of Statutes Previously Unpublished Enacted 1714-1726 (Classic Reprint)

(Excerpt from Proceedings and Acts of the General Assembly...)

Excerpt from Proceedings and Acts of the General Assembly of Maryland, July, 1727 August, 1729: With an Appendix of Statutes Previously Unpublished Enacted 1714-1726 The method of publication has been in general the same as in the past. A new typography places a little more matter upon a page without making it difficult to read. The days of the session have been added as side notes for greater clearness. The topical index has been constructed so as to show the session in which the various subjects were discussed, and the legislative his tory of every act. Messages and other documents occurring in the Proceed ings of either house are printed only once, in the Upper House Journal, a ref erence thereto being made in the Lower House Journal at the proper place. This enables much more material to be placed in a volume and will not seri ously inconvenience scholars. In general, we possess good manuscripts for this period. The Lower House Journal for 1727 is an exception. Of it we possess two fragments, the one contains the first and last few pages of the Proceedings; the other lacks the pages altogether and, at some distant period, was used as a base for a flower pot, the grains Of earth from it still adhering to the paper in some places. The paper of most of the upper half of the manuscript has, in con sequence, rotted away and entirely disappeared, so that the manuscript is quite fragmentary.

A History of the Plantation of Menunkatuck and of the Original Town of Guilford, Connecticut: Comprising the Present Towns of Guilford and Madison, ... Hon. Ralph Dunning Smyth (Classic Reprint)

(Excerpt from A History of the Plantation of Menunkatuck a...)

Excerpt from A History of the Plantation of Menunkatuck and of the Original Town of Guilford, Connecticut: Comprising the Present Towns of Guilford and Madison, Written Largely From the Manuscripts of the Hon. Ralph Dunning Smyth Among my grandfather's papers were considerable collections Of materials he had intended to use for a history Of the town of Guilford. Among these was a fragment of a complete history of the town, written by Mr. Smyth shortly before his death. This forms, with some changes, the first four chapters Of the present work and a part of the fifth. It is probable that I should have written part Of it somewhat differently, but it seemed best to permit this record Of his ripened knowledge of Guilford history to remain without essential change. The rest of the book was prepared from Mr. Smyth's manuscript col lections, the Town Records, and other available sources. Owing to the extensive materials at hand, it is believed the work is, to a consider able degree, exhaustive and complete. I desire to return thanks to Mr. Chas. H. Post for courtesies shown while examining the Town Records, and to the Rev. W. G. Andrews for generous sympathy. Among those who have rendered especial assistance in the compilation of this work are Rev. Frederick E. Snow, Dr. Ellsworth Eliot, Mr. Samuel H. Chittenden, Mr. Frederick C. Norton. This history of Guilford has had three predecessors. The Rev. Thomas Ruggles, Jr., prepared a sketch of the history of the town over a century ago, which has been twice published. In 1827 Dr. David Dudley Field prepared a sketch of the history of Guilford and Madison for the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences, using Mr. Ruggles' work as a basis. In 1832 he revised it. About 1840 this sketch was revised and enlarged by R. D. Smyth. After Mr. Smyth's death this manuscript was found among his papers by his son-in-law, the Hon. Lewis H. Steiner, edited by him and published by Munsell in 1877. All the important statements therein are embodied in this work. For to collect all that is to be known, to put the discourse in order, and curiously to discuss every particular point, is the duty of the author of a his tory. - II Maccabees 11. 31. The inhabitants of this town, more than most others in this State, have retained the ancient manners of the New England colonists. Parents are regarded by their children with a peculiar respect derived not only from their domestic government and personal character, but in a considerable degree from the general state of manners. Old people are in a similar degree revered by the young, and laws and magistrates at large. Private contentions have heretofore been rarely known, and lawsuits so rare that no lawyer till lately has ever been able to acquire a living in town. The weight of public Opinion has been strongly felt, and diffused a general dread of vice. - Dwight's Travels.

History of Slavery in Connecticut (Classic Reprint)

(Excerpt from History of Slavery in Connecticut Few quest...)

Excerpt from History of Slavery in Connecticut Few questions have been more interesting to the American people than slavery, and the number of works which have appeared upon the subject has been proportional to the interest aroused. The slavery of negroes has been discussed from almost every point of View, and yet the influence of slavery upon individual States of the Union and its different history and characteristics in the several States have not received the attention they deserve. There have been two able works dealing with this branch oithe subject, tracing thoroughly the course of the institution of slavery in the two States of Massachusetts and Maryland. As Massachusetts was the first State of the original number to free her slaves, and as Maryland was a typical Border State, these mono graphs, apart from their accuracy and completeness, have been valuable contributions to the study of slavery in the separate States, but they stand almost alone.

Life and Administration of Sir Robert Eden (Classic Reprint)

(Excerpt from Life and Administration of Sir Robert Eden ...)

Excerpt from Life and Administration of Sir Robert Eden On May 8, 1758, he was promoted from cadet to ensign in the Coldstream Regiment of Footguards,1 and in that posi tion he embarked with the second battalion of that famous regiment in July, 1760, for active service in Germany, where the seven years' war was then raging. He was promoted to the position of Lieutenant and Captain in the Coldstream Guards on September 23, 1762, and returned with his regi ment to London at the conclusion of the war. His services had been doubtless commendable, but no especial record of them remains. The frontispiece is copied from the only known likeness of Eden, and shows him at this period of his life dressed in the uniform of the Coldstream Guards - scarlet coat, with dark blue, almost purple, facings, gold buttons and edgings, crimson sash over right shoulder, white lace tie and ruffles at the wrist, buff waistcoat and breeches, dark garters, and white long stockings or gaiters. (the original of this portrait is a small oil painting, about fourteen inches high, by an unknown artist, in the possession of Mr. Fred erick Morton Eden, of London, Who kindly had it copied for this work.)

We have held before us, as an example, the diligence of James Boswell, who wrote, in his enthusiasm for truth: I have sometimes been obliged, to run half over London, in order to fix a date correctly: which, when I had accomplished, I well knew would obtain me no praise, though a failure would have been to my discredit.
