The Virginia Legislature proposed the 22* line marked thus, — o— o — , extending from the North- West angle of Maryland to Pernn's curved line, and along that to the Lake. The break like this across the South boundary of Penn- sylvania, is the West end of Mason and Dixon's line. The letters W and F, indicate the positions of Washington and Franklin. The Legislature of Virginia, by its resolutions of December 18th, seems indeed to have yielded the only point about which there was really any diff...iculty or doubt, and to have taken issue upon one of very easy solution. The expressions in the charter as to the Western boundary, were, " Said lands to extend Westward five degrees of longitude from said Eastern bounds." Now as the Eastern boundary was a river, some doubt might well arise on the question, whether it was intended that a boundary should be run, corresponding in all points with the sinuosities of that river. I am not mathematician enough to pronounce the task impracticable; but I can readily per- ceive that it would be exceedingly difficult and tedious; and Lord Dunmore might well express strong doubt that such was the intention of the grantor.
