To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
L This term is frequently employed by the law- makers of Maryland as if this region alone had a right to the title ; the other American settlements are constantly called colonies, but never provinces. 2 It is not improbable that Baltimore and his chief officers had in mind as their con- ception of a province those large and recent settlements in Ireland, known as the province of Ulster, etc. At any rate, the term first ' employed by the Assembly to designate the civil divisions of Maryland was ...not county, but barony, a term much used in Ireland. It is uncertain from the few data accessible what was actually conveyed in this term in Maryland, though it is very probable, the freemen contem- plated, as we have seen, a hundred, rather than a county form of local government. The first mention made of county was in January, 1638 (N. S. ), in commissions issued by the governor. 3 The name Lumbard, was, perhaps, a relative of the famous author of the " Peram- bulation of Kent. " Of the 23 counties of Maryland, but two, Baltimore and Cecil, names suggestive of the first proprietary, have had their histo- ries published.
