Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pennsylvania-Maryland Boundary Controversy: A Dissertation
It will be seen that this grant included not only the present State of Maryland, but the whole of Delaware as well as a considerable part of Pennsylvania. In other words, all that'section of Pennsylvania below the fortieth parallel was embraced in the original province of Mary land. Nearly half a century later, March 4, 1681, William Penn received from King Charles II a grant of territory extending from the northern boundary of Maryland to the forty-second degree of north latitude. The purpose of the present inquiry is to determine how the Calverts lost, and how the Penns acquired Delaware and the very im portant part of Pennsylvania below the fortieth parallel.
