MARYLAND IMPRINTS

An Annotated Bibliography of Books, Broadsides and

Newspapers Printed in Maryland from

1689 to 1776

E compiler's intention has been to form a bibliography
of Maryland imprints which should present to the in-
vestigator an outline of the intellectual, political and so-
cial history of the Province of Maryland, and on the
practical side provide a useful guide to librarians, book
collectors and booksellers. In order that this purpose
might be carried out successfully he has made it his ob-
ject to show in regard to each book:

1. An exact transcript of its title-page with the line endings indicated.

2. Where title-page is lacking, an exact transcript of its main heading, and of its colo-
phon, if present.

3. Where headings, imprints and dates are lacking to supply them in square brackets,
giving, when possible, authorities for the matter supplied.

4. A moderately full collation, consisting of size (fold of the sheet); signature sequence
(with a superior number indicating the number of leaves in each gathering of the
copy examined); the total number of leaves; the pagination; the main heads and
the pages occupied by each; typographical ornaments; linear size of the title-page
in inches as being easy to visualize, and of the type page in millimeters as being
exact for purposes of identification.

5. A note comprising facts in the life of the author; explanations of the matter of the
book; such part of the history of the book as is known or seems of importance to
record; cross references to works of a related character.

6. The library or libraries in which the book described is to be found.

The compiler has examined personally all of the items given with colla-
tions in this bibliography, except the following:

Nos. 1, 20, 21, 70, 122, 140, 177, 186, 234, 244 and 245. Of these he has
given title transcripts from photographic copies of all except Nos. 177, 244
and 245.

A number of additional titles not seen by the compiler are copied from
Evans's American Bibliography where no location was given for them. In
