permanence and simple grandeur in which the Pyramids rise in relief from
the sands of Egypt. Let no Arab displace a single stone!

APPENDIX No. I.

It is singular that the clause in the XXII section of Charles Ist's
charter to Lord Baltimore, relating to the interpretation of that
instrument in regard to religion, has never been accurately translated,
but that all commentators have, hitherto, followed the version given by
Bacon. I shall endeavor to demonstrate the error.

The following parallel passages exhibit the original Latin, and Bacon's
adopted translation:

ORIGINAL LATIN.

The 22nd section of the charter of Maryland, copied from Bacon's Laws,
wherein it was adopted from an attested copy from the original record
remaining in the Chapel of Rolls in 1758:

"SECTION XXII. Et si forte imposterum contingat Dubitationes aliquas
quaestiones circa verum sensum et Intellectum alicujus verbi clausulae vel
sententiae in hae presenti CHARTA nostra contentae generari EAM semper et
in omnibus Interpretationem adhiberi et in quibuscunque Curiis et
Praetoriis nostris obtinere VOLUMUS praecipimus et mandamus quae praefato
modo Baroni de BALTIMORE Haeredibus et Assignatis suis benignior utilior
et favorabilior esse judicabitur Proviso semper quod nulla fiat
Interpretatio per quam sacro-sancta DEI et vera Christiana Religio aut
Ligeantia NOBIS Haeredibus et successoribus nostris debita Immutatione
Prejudicio vel dispendio in aliquo patiantur:" &c. &c.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION.

Translation of the 22nd section of the charter, from Bacon's Laws of
Maryland, wherein it is copied from an old translation published by
order of the Lower House in the year 1725:

"SECTION XXII. And if, peradventure, hereafter it may happen that
any doubts or questions should arise concerning the true sense and
meaning of any word, clause or sentence contained in this our
present charter, we will, charge, and command, THAT Interpretation
to be applied, always, and in all things, and in all our Courts and
Judicatories whatsoever, to obtain which shall be judged to be more
beneficial, profitable and favorable to the aforesaid now Baron of
BALTIMORE, his heirs and assigns: Provided always that no
interpretation thereof be made whereby GOD's holy and true christian
religion, or the allegiance due to us, our heirs and successors,
may
