   (13) Menard and Carr, "The Lords Baltimore and the Colonization
of Maryland," 176-178.

   (14) The French ambassador to England, Tillieres, to —, November
25, 1621, printed in Frederic Raumer, History of the Sixteenth and
Seventeenth Centuries, Illustrated by Original Documents, 2 vols.
(London, 1835), 2:263, quoted in Russell R. Menard, "The Adven-
tures of George Calvert" (unpublished paper in possession of the
author; copy in the files of The St. Mary's City Commission, Hall of
Records, Annapolis, Md.).

   (15) The following account of the granting of the charter is based on
Charles M. Andrews, The Colonial Period of American History: The
Settlements, Volume 2 (New Haven, 1936; reprinted, New Haven,
1964), 279-282, and upon a study of the privy council warrants, or
contemporary copies thereof, mss. in the Hugh Young Collection,
Enoch Pratt Free Library, Baltimore, Maryland. Professor Andrews
errs in saying that the first warrant issued for a grant in the northern
Chesapeake confined the boundaries of Maryland to the Eastern
Shore. The warrant made the Potomac river, beginning at its "head or
Fountain," a boundary.
