Lower House of Assembly | of the | Province of Mary(land) | At a Session begun and h(eld

Sm. 410. A-L⁴ only; 44 leaves; pages [i]-88+; p. [i]: title as above; pp. 3-15, 17-88+: text, with head-piece and
heading; head-piece at the beginning of each week's proceedings; p. [16]: blank.

Leaf measures: 9 x 7 inches. Type page, p. 5: 183 x 137 mm.

This is the first copy of the V. & P. since that of May 1739 which the compiler has found bearing a title-
page, although Mr. Evans gives title-pages to those for April and July 1740 and May 1741, and locates copies in
the Massachusetts Historical Society. No such copies exist in that Library, however, nor has the compiler met
elsewhere with any that have title-pages. The four sets of V. & P., May 1739, April and July 1740 and May 1741
have continuous pagination and were evidently issued to be bound together. This pagination came to an end
with the issue of May 1741 when it had reached nearly five hundred pages, and the next collection of V. & P.,
that described above, began a new pagination and bore a title-page. The title-page of the copy here described is
defective, as is indicated in the entry above by the enclosure of several words in round brackets.
