Maryland Imprints of the Colonial Period, l689-1776

A page not mentioned specifically or inclusively in the collation by pages may be as-
sumed to be a blank.

Capitals have been employed in the transcripts where the compiler believes that the
printer or his contemporaries would have employed them if they had been writing the title
for other purposes than display on a title-page. Unimportant words, even at the beginning
of lines, have been put in lower case.

Because of the necessity of keeping the length of this bibliography within certain speci-
fied limits, the compiler has made no attempt to list the various issues of paper money
engraved by Thomas Sparrow and printed by Anne Catharine Green and her sons, nor has
he listed legal forms, land warrants, writs, etc., except when these have seemed to him to
possess especial significance.
