30. For this information on the characteristics of the
site of Baltimore as well as for much other useful ma-
terial I am indebted to Mr. Wilbur H. Hunter, director
of the Peale Museum in Baltimore, who allowed me to
draw on a portion of his unpublished manuscript trac-
ing the founding and development of the city. Hunter's
work also formed the basis for a graduate seminar
paper prepared under my direction in the spring of
1968 by Mr. Lawrence E. Parker, a student at Cornell
University. Parker used a series of plans of the city in
tracing in detail its gradual physical expansion through-
out the colonial period. This proved of great value in
preparing this section of the present chapter. I have
also found useful the works of J. Thomas Scharf. See
his Chronicles of Baltimore; and History of Maryland
from the Earliest Period to the Present Day.
