The Maryland Journal and Baltimore Advertiser, Dec. 16, 1783

Date:

1783-12-16; [1783-09-09]

Description:

Letter of William Smith to Patrick Allison of Baltimore responding to a letter signed Vindex regarding Smith’s right and that of the Episcopal Clergy to “pray for ‘leave to consult, prepare and offer a bill.’” This being viewed as a common right, it was customary for petitioners to ask and obtain for leave before offering a bill. Smith goes on to defend himself and the Assembly’s right to grant him such leave. Smith’s ultimate goal is to present a bill outlining the revised liturgy, forms of prayer, and public worship.
