The most interesting and least known pe- riod of Maryland's history is that which pre- ceded the War of Independence. The politi- cal and material development of a Province founded under peculiar circumstances and a unique form of government, were determined by causes in many respects unlike those which operated in the other colonies and, so far as; the State has, in her later career, differed from her sisters, differencethis may, in the main, be traced back to the original dissimilarity. Though Maryland fought in the War of In- her sisterdependence, as the faithful ally of States, no military operations of any conse- quence took on whileplace her soil ; to write an account of the deeds of Maryland soldiers would be write the historyin the war to of the war itself. PREFACE.vi therefore, seemed advisable toIt has, limit the present volume to a history of the Palat- inate government.
