Among the contemporary writers, John Smith, _Works_ (1884), edited by Edward Arber, is a compilation rather than a history, and in spite of its partisan coloring contains much that is valuable regarding Virginia affairs from 1607 to 1629. For matters from 1619-1624 we have the sure guide of the London Company's _Journal,_ in Virginia Historical Society, _Collections_, new series, VII. After that time the main dependence, apart from the _Calendar of State Papers,_ is Hening, _Statutes at Large of Virginia_ (13 vols., 1823). The leading incidents in Virginia connected with Lord Baltimore's colony of Maryland and the Puritan persecution are set forth by J.H. Latane, _Early Relations of Maryland and Virginia_ (_Johns Hopkins University Studies,_ XIII., Nos. iii., iv.) Many documents illustrative of this period may be read in Force, _Tracts,_ and Hazard, _State Papers;_ Virginia history is illuminated by many original documents printed in the _Virginia Magazine of History and Biography_ (11 vols., 1893-1903); and the _William and Mary College Quarterly_ (12 vols., 1892-1903). The works of Edward D. Neill are also of a documentary nature and of much value. Those which bear upon Virginia are _The Virginia Company_ (1868), _Virginia Carolorum_ (1886), _Virginia Vestusta_ (1885), and _Virginia and Virginiola_ (1878). Many tracts are cited in the foot-notes. MARYLAND The standard authorities for the history of Maryland are J.V.L. McMahon, _Historical View of the Government of Maryland_ (1831); John Leeds Bozman, _History of Maryland_ (2 vols., 1837, covering the period of 1634 to 1658); James McSherry, _History of Maryland_ (1849); J.T. Scharf, _History of Maryland_ (3 vols., 1879); William Hand Browne, _History of Maryland_ (1893), and _George and Cecilius Calvert_ (1893); Edward D. Neill, _Founders of Maryland_ (1876), and _Terra Mariae_ (1867). Of these Bozman's work is an invaluable magazine of information, being, in fact, as much a calendar of documents as a continuous narrative. William Hand Browne's books show great familiarity with the story of Maryland and its founders, but his treatment of the subject is marked by strong bias and partisanship in favor of Lord Baltimore and his government. Neill's books, on the other hand, argue strongly in favor of the Puritan influence on the history of Maryland. There are many interesting pamphlets relating to Maryland in the series of _Johns Hopkins University Studies_, such as Edward Ingle, _Parish Institutions of Maryland_, I., No. vi.; John Hensley Johnson, _Old Maryland Manors_, I., No. vii.; Lewis W. Wilhelm, _Maryland Local Institutions_, III., Nos. v., vi., vii.; D.R. Randall, _The Puritan Colony at Annapolis, Maryland_, IV., No. vi.; J.H. Latane, _Early Relations of Virginia and Maryland_, XIII., Nos. iii., iv., and Bernard C. Steiner, _The Beginnings of Maryland_.
