ceedings," usually incomplete. Next in importance are the
Calvert Papers, mostly manuscripts, but in part printed. The
manuscript matter in the Public Record Office in London is
not so satisfactory for this as for some other periods of Mary-
land history. Other manuscripts have been examined in the
library of the Maryland Historical Society, the Episcopal
Library in Baltimore, and the library at Fulham Palace. Im-
portant also are the pamphlets of Dulany and others, and the
files of the Maryland Gazette.
As guides, we have for Maryland McMahon, to whose judg-

the late Bishop of Oxford. The book of Mereness is of con-

McHenry's Maryland reports, the English reports, Chalmer's
Opinions, Annals and Introduction, with Burge for the mod-

onies, which is very good as far as it goes.
With reference to the English statutes, the reader is
reminded that we have written particularly concerning Mary-
land, and have introduced the experience of other colonies
only to the extent of comparison. At some future time this
