Baltimore County, Maryland, Deed Records, Volume 3: 1755-1767
John Davis
Reg. Price: $34.5
(1996), 2008, 5½x8½, paper, index, 416 pp, Heritage Books, Inc
Under the terms of the charter of Maryland as granted by King Charles I of England, Lord Baltimore and his heirs were given all the land in the colony, with power to dispose of the land in any manner they deemed fit. A land office was set up to administer land grants and collect revenues. Settlers who applied for land grants had to pay fees at every step of the process as they obtained surveys, patents and titles. During those early days, the outer limits of Baltimore County stretched into unexplored territory. The deed records abstracted here include lands that lie within present-day Baltimore City, Cecil and Harford Counties, and parts of Carroll, Anne Arundel, Howard and Kent Counties. Eleven deed books were abstracted for this volume, which is divided into 11 chapters. Each deed book spans a period of time ranging from one year to ten years. The entries are more or less chronological due to the fact that transactions were often recorded in the books at some later date. A typical entry includes the date of transaction, names of grantors and grantees, their places of residence, acres of land involved and the names signed on the document. Other information is included when available, such as sales price, location of land, neighbors, chain of deed and landmarks. Spellings of names, places and things have been preserved in their original form, so the reader is encouraged to check all possible spellings of a name of interest. An everyname index assists the researcher.

Frederick County, Virginia Minutes of Court Records, 1743-1745
John David Davis
Reg. Price: $29
(2001), 2008, 5½x8½, paper, index, 322 pp, Heritage Books
In 1632, the first settlers from Europe who journeyed into the Shenandoah Valley were Jesuit missionaries. They inhabited the region that was to become Frederick Co., VA. The missionaries paved the way for those who moved into this region from MD and PA, many of whom were of Scottish, German and French descent. Originally part of Orange Co., Frederick Co. was formed in 1638, but its government was not officially organized until 1743. This work documents the minutes of court records during the first few years following the inception of the county government (1743-1745). A full name index covers both plaintiffs and defendants.

Italy in the Nineteenth Century: 1796-1900
Edited by John A. Davis
Reg. Price: $49.95
312 pages, paperback / softcover, Oxford University Press
Covering the period from the French Revolution to the end of the 19th Century, this volume sets the events leading to Italian Unification and the creation of an independent Italian state in the broader context of 19th-century European history. Challenging the view that the political failings of the Risorgimento and Italy's economic and social backwardness paved the way for fascism in the 20th century, it emphasizes how similar Italy's social and political development was to that of other modernizing European states in the same period, while explaining why Italy's experience of modernization in the nineteenth century also proved particularly difficult.
Italy in the Nineteenth Century provides both the general and specialist reader with a critical, concise introduction to the most recent historical debates and perspectives.
Reviews
"With its clearly-written, well-organized essays on a wide range of topics (and a very helpful glossary of terms and chronological table), this is a very welcome addition to the literature on 19th century Italy."--Theresa McBride, College of Holy Cross

West Jersey, New Jersey Deed Records, 1676-1721
John David Davis
Reg. Price: $29
2005, 5½x8½, paper, index, 370 pp, Heritage Books
Sir George Carteret was appointed New Jersey's first governor in August 1665, at the age of twenty-five. In July 1673, the Dutch reconquered New York and New Jersey and they remained until Britain regained the two colonies in November 1674. In March 1674, Sir George agreed to a partition of the province into East and West New Jersey. The diagonal boundary gave Sir George all the inhabited lands. The two "divisions" remained separate until 1702, when New Jersey became a royal province. The format followed in the abstraction of the deeds of West Jersey, New Jersey is: date of transaction, name of grantor(s), occupation of the grantor(s), place of residence of grantor(s), name of grantee(s), occupation of the grantee(s), place of residence of grantee(s), sales price, area of land involved, neighbors, chain of deed, signature of grantor(s) and signature of witnesses. Contains a full name index.
