Synopsis
The History of Clergy Taxes and Quit Eents in Maryland, completed in 1909 under the auspices of the Department of Economics and Sociology of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, a portion of which was published in the Maryland Historical Magazine for December, 1910. Professor Charles M. A ndrews, who was then at the Johns Hopkins University, pointed out the need of an extensive study of the quitrent system in all the American colonies and with his assistance the. author prepared a preliminary paper on the subject, which was printed in the American Historical Review for A pril, 1912. Since that time, and after extensive additional research in the various sources of American colonial history, here and abroad, the present study has been written. One of the greatest pleasures which the author has enjoyed in the preparation of this work has come from numerous visits to historical libraries both in the United (S tates and in England, and from the many delightful acquaintances formed thereby.
