Présentation de l'éditeur
The History of Clergy Taxes and Quit Eents in Maryland, completed in 1909 under the auspices of the Department of Economics and Sociology of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, a portion of which was published in the Maryland Historical Magazine for December, 1910. Professor Charles M. A ndrews, who was then at the Johns Hopkins University, pointed out the need of an extensive study of the quitrent system in all the American colonies and with his assistance the. author prepared a preliminary paper on the subject, which was printed in the American Historical Review for A pril, 1912. Since that time, and after extensive additional research in the various sources of American colonial history, here and abroad, the present study has been written. One of the greatest pleasures which the author has enjoyed in the preparation of this work has come from numerous visits to historical libraries both in the United (S tates and in England, and from the many delightful acquaintances formed thereby. Especial acknowledgment is due to the officials in charge of the Public Record Office in London, and to Mr. Gaillard Hunt and his assistants in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress in A merica.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The Quit-Rent System in the American Colonies (Classic Reprint)

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the surprisingly complex history of quit-rents, a seemingly minor land tax that played a significant role in the American colonies. Tracing the evolution of quit-rents from their medieval origins in England to their implementation in the New World, the author reveals how this feudal relic became a point of contention between colonists and proprietors, and later, the crown. More than just a financial burden, quit-rents represented a tangible symbol of colonial dependence on the mother country. This book explores how this seemingly trivial detail of land ownership fueled discontent and contributed to the growing desire for independence among colonists. By shedding light on this often overlooked aspect of colonial life, this book offers a fresh perspective on the pre-Revolutionary period and the struggle for self-governance in America. It demonstrates how seemingly mundane aspects of daily life can be deeply intertwined with larger historical forces, shaping the course of events in profound ways. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780243182411_0
