Archives of Maryland. v

" Of course these things cost money, but if the Maryland authorities are duly
alive to the importance of Maryland history as a support of Maryland public
spirit, they will not hesitate to continue the Maryland Archives with the same
liberality with which they have maintained it from the beginning (I was
teaching at The Johns Hopkins then, and saw that beginning) and, in my
judgment, will give a prominent place, perhaps the foremost place in that
endeavor, to the completion of the Proceedings and Acts of the Provincial
Assembly."

After the completion of the Proceedings and Acts, the publication of the
State Council Proceedings will probably require three or four volumes. The
Committee will then be able to determine upon the publication of so much of
the Proceedings of the Provincial Court as may seem wise. A portion of those
Proceedings clearly should be put into print, though it may be that certain
portions will be found not of sufficient interest and usefulness to justify
printing them.

Respectfully,

SAMUEL K. DENNIS,
BERNARD C. STEINER,
JOHN M. VINCENT,

Committee on Publication.
