Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archives of Maryland, Vol. 55: Proceedings and Acts of the General Assembly of Maryland, 1757-1758 (25), Published by Authority of the State, Under the Direction of the Maryland Historical Society The bitter struggle between the popular or county party of the Lower House and the Proprietary and conservative interests as represented by the Governor and the Upper House, which has been narrated in former volumes of these Archives, reached a high water mark in the four sessions here recorded. In control of the purse strings of the Province, the Lower House at a time when money was desperately needed to provide men and supplies to prosecute the war, used this weapon in an attempt to extort political con cessions from the Lord Proprietary, even to the extent of jeopardizing the defence Of its own frontiers. This introduction will first summarize the proceedings of the four sessions covered by this volume, and will then discuss in more detail under various headings the sundry controversial questions of political, legislative, legal, administrative, and military importance, which are brought out by a study Of these Assembly records.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archives of Maryland, Vol. 45: Journal and Correspondence of the State Council of Maryland; 1780 1781 Maryland Archives. Here indeed is a tale of purpose strongly and patiently held. The military story of the struggle, glorious as it is in many respects, is actually less interesting in the pondering than this day by day record of recruiting with a small Bounty the want of Music; of keeping in the field of action men who wanted to be in the wheat field, where indeed they were equally needed; Of purchasing food and clothing and supplies without money or credit; of guarding against the effects of blockade, against treachery or open enmity, and worst Of all, against that indifference to the outcome which for various reasons infected the people of the whole country. In reading such collections Of documents as this, one realizes anew that wars are fought and won in the council chamber; the victory of the troops in the field is but a seal put upon the more fundamental victory that has previously occurred, an out ward and visible Sign of the spiritual grace to which the people behind the armies have attained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archives of Maryland: Proceeding and Acts of the General Assembly of Maryland; May, 1730 August, 1732 W'hile the pages of this volume were passing through the press there were found in the office of the Clerk Of the Court Of Appeals, at Annapolis, the following manuscript volumes Of the laws, viz.: LL. No. 4 (1711 L. No. 5 (1724 H. S. (1752 and R. G. (1769 the last also containing the laws passed by the State Assembly in 1777 and several following years. Liber B. L. C. (1731 - 1752) was also found in the Land Office and all these volumes were transferred to the vault Of the Maryland Historical Society, with the prompt cooperation of their former custodians, under the provisions Of the Act of 1882, ch. 138. It has thus been possible to print. For the first time in this volume, the private acts passed from 1730 to 1732, as these were not included in' the contemporary printing of the Session Laws, Unfortunately, the printing of the volume had so far progressed that it was necessary to place the private acts Of 1730 in an appendix. It is expected to print, in volume 38 of the Archives, all acts hitherto not included in the series. From 1711 to 1729, and hereafter to publish all the acts of each session in their proper place. We Shall thus possess the complete corpus Of the Provincial statute laws of the Eighteenth Century, which fact is one which must cause considerable pleasure to every lover of the history Of Maryland. In these cataclysmic times, it is often a delight to divert one's thoughts to the affairs of a quieter and Simpler age and the picture of that age is now more complete, because of the ability to read the entire enactment Of each session Of the legislature. The private acts, which generally relate to naturalization of individuals, and to the correction of defects in deeds and wills, are Of considerable value for deciding questions Of pedigree and title to land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archives of Maryland, Vol. 42: Proceedings and Acts of the General Assembly of Maryland (20), 1740-1744 In my judgment, it is some defect even in the best writers of history, that they do not Often enough summarily deliver and set down the most memorable laws that passed in the times whereof they writ, being indeed the principal acts Of peace. TO the end that this reproach may be removed, as far as writers upon Maryland history are concerned, the materials are provided through printing of the Acts of the General Assembly in these volumes. It is a toilsome task to work one's way through the volumes of Proceedings to the Assembly, but unless such work is successfully prosecuted by students with a kindly feeling toward the participants in the discussions we cannot have impartial history. T. R. Glover's words (christian Tradition, p. 72) are very true that: Sine ira et studio is the phrase Of Tacitus - yet without anger and partisanship, but not without sympathy, we must go quietly and slowly about our work; hurry is fatal in historical study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archives of Maryland, Vol. 47: Journal and Correspondence of the State Council of Maryland The arrival Of the French squadron under de Grasse in the Chesapeake late in August, and its successful encounter with the British fleet, had not only made safe the transport of Washington's army down the bay by water, but had put an end to the depredations by raiding parties from the British ships upon the settlements and plantations along the water front of the bay and its tribu taries, to which many of the letters refer. The letters also tell us of the occa sional revival of Tory activities, especially in W'orcester and Somerset counties on the Eastern Shore, but these never assumed formidable proportions and were largely confined to the clandestine sale of cattle and supplies to the British ships, while they were in control of the bay. After this volume went to press, and unfortunately too late to include here, there came to light a number of let ters and other papers relating to the Tory conspiracy in Western Maryland referred to in Orendorff's letter of June, 1781, printed on page 328. The apprehension and execution of the ringleaders put an end to this abortive move ment. Letters from the south during the earlier part of the year tell us of the magnificent service rendered by the Maryland Line at Cowpens, Guilford, Camden, and other battles in the Carolinas.

Both agreed that the October date was the best possible season for their private affairs and the Lower House went so far as to take out of the first draft of their reply a somewhat ill-natured reference to the Governor's action in proroguing the Assembly to get William Steuart out of the jail into which the Lower House had thrown him (archives, LXII, pp. Xxvii-xxix, 421-425) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A servant maid had been sold by her master, Cuthbert Fenwick, under an extended indenture. The question at issue was the validity of a second indenture that would have extended her time of service. The case had been heard in the Calvert County Court, which had decided in favor of the girl. It was then heard on appeal by the Provincial Court, which confirmed the action of the lower court (pages 220-221, 237-2 38, 265.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archives of Maryland, Vol. 21: Journal and Correspondence of the Council of Maryland; April 1, 1778 October 26, 1779 Fortunately the State had but little trouble within her own borders. There were some small depredations by the British in the lower counties, and some disturbances by Tories in Worcester, Somerset, Queen Anne's and Kent; but these, as well as a mutinous rising in Delaware, threatening the Stores at Charles Town, were easily dealt with. This exemption gave Maryland the opportunity of raising large supplies of bread-stuffs and provisions for the Continental army and for Shipment to the West Indies. Readers of these pages who find so much more space devoted to purchases of our, pork, bacon, osnaburgs, denims, powder and lead, than to accounts of military operations, should remember that it was in this way, quite as much as in the field, that independence was won. Clinton, profiting by Howe's example, avoided pitched battles, and undertook, an expedition, under Gen. Prevost and Col. Campbell, to invade the southern States. Savannah fell in December 1778, and all Georgia was Soon reduced. Descents - mere plundering forays - were made on the Bay shores of Virginia, and fears arising that Baltimore would be the next point of attack, measures were taken to put that city in a state of defence. The enemy, however, made no attempt, but returned with their plunder to New York. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
