Law, power and everyday life in colonial Maryland come into sharp focus in this authoritative volume of maryland general assembly proceedings from March 1697/8 to July 1699. Edited by William Hand Browne, it gathers the official records of debates, acts and decisions that shaped seventeenth century Maryland at a pivotal moment in colonial chesapeake history. These records speak plainly. From new colonial maryland laws to petitions, proclamations and negotiations with the imperial centre, the pages trace how early american government actually functioned on the ground, revealing tensions between governors, councillors, burgesses and the wider community under British rule. As part of the renowned american colonial records series, this Archives of Maryland volume is an indispensable primary source collection for anyone interested in colonial legislative records and british colonial legal history. It serves as a reliable reference for historians and rich research material for scholars of politics, law, religion, landholding and society, while also welcoming the curious reader who simply wants to hear the authentic administrative voice of the past. 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. For libraries and private collections.
