Step inside the legislative chamber of colonial Maryland and watch a new society write its own rules. Every statute tells a story. Archives Of Maryland; Act Of The General Assembly Of Maryland Hitherto Unprinted 1649-1729 brings together a trove of colonial legislative records that had long remained in manuscript, making accessible the working law of seventeenth century Maryland and early eighteenth century Maryland. Edited by noted historian Bernard Christian Steiner, this landmark volume preserves the authentic language of early American statutes and exposes the evolving priorities of colonial Maryland government, from fragile beginnings to a more confident provincial order. As historical legal documents, these acts reveal how power was negotiated, institutions were built and daily life was regulated in a distant but foundational chapter of colonial American legal history. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. As part of the renowned Archives of Maryland collection, this careful modern reissue offers an indispensable legal history reference for historians and researchers, family historians, legal practitioners and readers drawn to the texture of the past. Whether approached as a primary source document collection on Maryland colonial law and colonial Maryland government, or treasured as a handsome heritage volume on the shelf, it speaks both to serious study and to the quiet pleasure of owning a defining record of early America.
