AMERICAN COMMONWEALTHS-MARYLAND.

The new series of historical works edited by Mr. Horace E. Scudder, the well-known Cambridge writer, entitled the "Commonwealth Series," is of particular value to students. The latest volume, "Maryland," has just appeared from the pen of William H. Brown, associate of John Hopkins. It deals only with the history of Maryland before the Revolution, when it was, as Mr. Brown says, a Palatinate. Wrtten in an easy style, it quickly commends itself to the reader. The authorities for the statements contained in it are the original manuscript records and archives of the state. This volume fills a want long felt, and will be of particular service in History in preparation.
