Description

Excerpt from History of Maryland From the Earliest Period to the Present Day, Vol. 1 of 3 Frequent citations have been made from other writers and incorporated into the text, sometimes with, and sometimes with out, a textual reference to the authority; but in all 'ases (it is believed) the source is indicated in the foot-notes. When docu ments are cited without reference, they are from the records of the Land Office. Or, if published, from the files of the Maryland Gazette, the official journal, or other newspapers of the day. It is greatly to be regretted that a large mass of docu ments, correspondence, etc., belonging to the prerevolutionary history of the province, has been so imperfectly cared for as to cause irreparable loss. Many papers have disappeared altogether; still more are perishing from decay, careless handling and improper stowage. The papers which properly should be assembled at one point, are scattered in different places. It is much to be wished that the Legislature of the State would make some provision for collecting and arranging these archives, and depositing them in some place of security; also for publishing those of greatest historical value.
