and selected those of the most value to the student of history. These have been
copied by Miss Lucy Harwood Harrison, the faithful and accurate copyist, not
only for this volume, but for the other forty-six volumes of the Archives of
Maryland which have preceded it. The arrangement of the copy and the cor-
rections of the proof have been effected by Mr. Fickus, and the exhaustive index
is the joint work of him and Mrs. Fickus. Dr. J. Hall Pleasants has had gen-
eral editorial supervision over this as he had over the preceding volume of the
Archives.

It is hoped that the next volume of the Archives, which is now in print, will
appear early in 1931. This will carry down the Journal and Correspondence
of the State Council from November 19, 1781, to November 8, 1783. Later
in the year another volume, covering the Proceedings of the Provincial Court
from 1663 to 1669, should also be ready for publication.
