Synopsis

Fund Publicaion, Issue 9 by Sebastian F. Streeter. This volume presents a scholarly compilation of papers on the early history of Maryland, edited and annotated by Streeter for the Maryland Historical Society. It gathers narratives and records of Maryland's colonial governance, including the First Assembly at St. Mary’s (1634–1635), the administration under Leonard Calvert, and the later sessions of the General Assembly, as well as biographical notices of early freemen and the life of John Lewger, the colony’s first Catholic secretary. The work juxtaposes primary documents with Streeter's notes, offering translations of archaic spellings and explanatory introductions. It covers the Kent Island dispute with William Claiborne, the founding of Kent Island’s governance, the trial of pirates, and the establishment of legal codes and oaths, shaping Maryland's legal and civic framework. The volume serves as a foundational source for researchers of early Maryland, colonial law, and early American political development.
