Governor Sharp's correspondence, and many documents from the Public Record Office, London. The Maryland Historical Society has issued Fund Publications (37 vols., 1867-1901), and over sixty occasional papers and reports. Thomas Bacon's edition of the Laws of Maryland (1765) contains the titles of laws not otherwise known.

Bozman is the chief guide for the period to 1658, and after 1650 may be supplemented by documents in John Thurloe, State Papers, the Calendars, and the Archives. Among rare pamphlets are: Lord Baltimore, Case Concerning the Province of Maryland (1653); Virginia and Maryland, or Lord Baltimore's Case uncased and answered (1655); Leonard Strong, Babylon's Fall in Maryland, a fair warning to Lord Baltimore (1655), upholds the Puritan cause; compare John Langford in A Just and Clere Refutation of “Babylon's Fall" (1655). Two admirable monographs have been written: F. E. Sharp, Causes of the Revolution of 1689 in Maryland (Johns Hopkins University Studies, XIV. nos. II, 12), is rather unfair to the proprietary; B. C. Steiner, The Protestant Revolution in Maryland (American Historical Association, Report, 1897, 281-353), minimizes the revolutionary spirit. The controversy between Lord Baltimore and William Penn has never been fairly written. For the Maryland side of the case: W. H. Browne, Maryland; Archer, Dismemberment of Maryland (Fund Publications, no. 30), with an undignified show of temper; more temperately, but still not impartially, N. D. Mereness, Maryland as a Proprietary Province, 29-33. For the Pennsylvania side, W. B. Scaife, in Pennsylvania Magazine, IX., 241-271; Pennsylvania Magazine, VI., 412-434; W. R. Shepherd, Proprietary Government in Pennsylvania, 117-146 (confused).

THE CAROLINAS

For the early history of South Carolina, W. J. Rivers, Sketch of the History of South Carolina to 1719 (1856), has long been the standard authority, and has not by any means been superseded by a longer and more elaborate volume,

VOL. V.-23

Edward McCrady, South Carolina under the Proprietary Government (1897). Little use can be made of the older histories, Alexander Hewatt, Historical Account of the Rise and Progress of South Carolina and Georgia (3 vols., 1779), and David Ramsay, History of South Carolina (2 vols., 1809, 2d ed., 1858). In a series called Year-Book, City of Charleston (4 vols., 1883-1886), Mayor Courtenay began a new era in the historiography of the state by printing a number of exceedingly valuable contemporary relations. The Records of North Carolina (16 vols., 1886-1902) is a collection of rare value and importance for both Carolinas. The South Carolina Historical Society Collections, V., contains The Shaftesbury Papers (1897). A comparison of the originals, thus published, with the abstracts in the Calendars shows how inadequate often are the Calendars for historical purposes.

On North Carolina the best work is F. L. Hawks, History of North Carolina (2 vols., 1857-1858), although it is marred by prejudice. In the Johns Hopkins University Studies are three monographs of importance: S. C. Hughson, Carolina Pirates and Colonial Commerce (XII., nos. 2 to 7); E. L. Whitney, Government of the Colony of South Carolina (XIII., nos. 1 and 2); and J. S. Bassett, Constitutional Beginnings of North Carolina (XII., no. 3).

ISLAND COLONIES

For the island colonies, so important in their connection with the early history of the Carolinas, see R. H. Schomburgk, History of Barbadoes (1848); J. H. Lefroy, Memorials of the Bermudas, 1511-1687 (2 vols., 1877-1879), and N. D. Davis, The Cavaliers and Roundheads of Barbadoes, 16501652 (1887).
