by George Alsop

There were two series of page numbers printed on each page of the main text. One series, printed (with gaps) from 10 to 125, was printed at the top of each page in an ornamented header. This series has been retained, and is shown in curly brackets like this: {52}. Page one of this series, inferred by counting back from ten, is the title page of Gowans’ Bibliotheca Americana 5, New York, William Gowans, 1869. The other series, printed with gaps from 417 to 533, in smaller type at the bottom of each page, has been discarded. The book actually transcribed herein was a reissue of Gowans’ Bibliotheca Americana 5, titled Fund-Publication, No. 15. A Character of the Province of Maryland, The Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore, 1880.
