Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Quit-Rent System in the American Colonies
The first work undertaken by the author on the subject of quit-rents was a study of The History of Clergy Taxes and Quit Rents in Maryland, completed in 1909 under the auspices of the Department of Economics and Sociology of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, a portion of which was published in the Maryland Histori cal Magazine for December, 1910. Professor Charles M. Andrews, who was then at the Johns Hopkins University, pointed out the need of an extensive study of the quit rent system in all the American colonies and with his assistance the author prepared a preliminary paper on the subject, which was printed in the American Historical Review for April, 1912. Since that time, and after ex tensive additional research in the various sources of American colonial history, here and abroad, the present study has been written.
