(EARLY AMERICAN IMPRINT.) Bacon, Thomas; compiler. Laws of Maryland at Large. Folio, contemporary speckled calf, rebacked; minor soiling, staining on edges; bookplate on the front pastedown (Darlington). With the ad leaf in the rear. Annapolis: Jonas Green, 1765 [but 1766]
- Notes: first edition. A mammoth production from an important colonial press. Bacon worked on the Laws for 13 years and publication took another four. Considered the most important legal work published in the colony and noted for its typography and the first appearance of the seal of Maryland on the title. See Wroth's History of Printing in Colonial Maryland for a detailed discussion of the work. Evans 10049; Sabin 2684.
