Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

In the year 1634 and 5, Cecil Lord Baltemore was at the charge of sending Ships, with People and Provisions, to Seat and Cultivate that Province; which Charge amounted to Forty Thousand Pounds at least, the Interest of which Money he never Received by any Profits he had from thence. In the year 1661, his Son, Charles Lord Baltemore, went to Maryland. From the First Settlement of that Province, till his Lordship s First Yoyage thither, which was Twenty-six Years, Maryland had yielded little or nothing to the Family; but the Duties on Tobacco Planted there, in that Time, brought in a considerable Eevenue to the Crown, at the sole Charge of that Family. Cecil Lord Baltemore, at great Charge, First Peopled and Cultivated that Province, and entirely confiding on the Charter and Grant of King Charles the First, exhausted his Estate in England, to enable him to Improve and Cultivate that Province; and his Son Charles Lord Baltemore, having made several Voyages thither, continued to improve the same, to the great Increase of the Revenue of the Crown. A bout the year 1698, the said Province was made a Security to the Eight Honourable the Lady Charlott Lee; upon her Marriage with the late Benedict Leonard Lord Baltemore.
