Excerpt from Archives of Maryland: Proceedings and Acts of the General Assembly of Maryland; April, 1666-June, 1676 From the fact that the letter of Lord Baltimore dated February, dissenting to the laws of 166 5, was not read until the Session of _1669, we may safely infer that there was no Session of the Assembly between 1666 and 1669. There 18 also no break between 1671 and 1674, as the Session was postponed by repeated prorogations, so that this Volume contains an unbroken record of the Sessions from 1666 to 1676. The Original Lower House Journals of 1666 and 167§ have been frightfully ravaged by damp and worms, as the breaks show, which, how ever, give no idea of the size of the gaps. Some part of the text may be completed from the Upper House Journals; but as most of it is found 1n no other copy, it has been thought best to print it as it stands. Happily, but few of our records are in so desperate a state. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
