Excerpt from Report With Sundry Resolutions: Relative to Appropriations of Public Land for the Purposes of Education, to the Senate of Maryland, January 30, 1821
Before the war of the revolution, and indeed for some years after it, several of the states possessed, within their nominal limits, extensive tracts of waste and unsettled lands. These states were all, at that epoch, regal, and not proprietary provinces, and the crown, either directly or through the medium of oficers, Whose authority had been prescribed or assented to by the crown, was in the habit of granting those lands. The right of disposing of them Was claimed and exercised by the crown in some form or other. They might therefore, with strict propriety, be called the property of the crown.
