With its origins in the seventeenth century, the Maryland Court of Appeals is one of the oldest in the United States. Located in the middle of the east coast, it was confronted with most of the key legal issues that affected the colonies and early United States. Bond's was the first history of the court from its origins around 1649 to the adoption of the state's current constitution in 1867. A valuable study, it is based almost entirely on primary sources. Bond [1873-1943] was the Chief Justice of the Court from 1924 to the end of his life.
By: Carol T. Bond, Pub. 1933, reprinted, 2022, 724 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #978-1-63914-049-7. This book is a MUST for those doing research in the state of Maryland during this colonial time. The records within this book cover the entire state. The reader will be enlighted to the number of judicial records left by these early Maryland colonists, and the amount of judicial business recorded in them. What makes this so important, is that many of these early records of the state from this Provincial court era may not have survived in any form except from the court of errors and appeals.
