Their Magistrates and Officials - Executive Government in Colonial Maryland, 1715-1775

Informationen zum Autor R. J. Rockefeller Klappentext Their Magistrates and Officials combines narrative, institutional study and biographical approaches to revise our understanding the mechanisms of colonial, imperial, and proprietary government in 18th century Maryland, focusing on the executive branch.
