Printers to the Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore, 1884. PREFACE. The history of the Baltimore family is indissolubly linked with the history of the province of Maryland. The first Lord Balti- more, Sir George Calvert, though dying two months before the charter of Maryland had passed the great seal of England, and two years before the first settlers arrived in the colony, had laid the beginnings of the colony. To his son and successor, Cecilius Calvert, the privilege was granted of sending over the immigrants of 1634, and of completing the initial steps taken by his father, whichby a new province was added to the British Empire in America. As lord proprietor of Maryland for almost a half cen- tury, he occupied an important part in moulding the constitu- tional, religious and economic history of the colony.
