Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive examination of the statutes and legal codes that governed a major American city in the 19th century. The author examines not only the formal texts of the laws themselves, but also their actual use and enforcement. The result is a complex and richly detailed portrait of how a legal system functions in practice, and of the daily lives of those who lived under it. The author argues that 19th century Baltimore was not simply a city on the make, but one that was actively trying to invent itself anew, and its laws were a crucial part of that process. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

This Index was prepared under the provisions of Ordinance No. 156 of the Mavor and City Council of Baltimore, approved June 22, 1906, and covers the period from 1797, the date of the incorporation of the City, to the adjournment of the City Council, on June 14, 1906, both inclusive. More than thirty Ordinances of the session of 1905 - 6 are not contained in the printed volume issued last year, and hence for them only the number of each Ordinance and the date of its approval by the Mayor have been given herein.
In the case of the Ordinances printed prior to 1906, the page, as well as the number and year, for each has been given. Thus, for instance, Ordinance No. 114, passed in the year 1871 and printed on page 100 of the Ordinances for that year, has been indexed in this manner, viz: In the few cases where an Ordinance has had no number the space where such number would have appeared has been marked by a dash.
As to the Resolutions, in each of many years hundreds of these were passed that were of merely transitory interest, as for placing flag-stones, gas-lamps, pumps, etc., or authorizing minor payments. Therefore, while they were properly to be included in any complete Index purporting to cover them, their vast number made it undesirable to give for them more than the year and number of each Resolution, or, where they were not numbered, the month and day of approval in addition to the year. For example, Resolution No. 125 of the year 1888 has been indexed thus: 1888, R. 125; while a Resolution of the year 1821, not numbered, but approved on January 13 of that year and found on page 366 of the volume for that year, has been indicated as follows: 1821, R. (jan. P. 366. Where there were two or more numbered Resolutions passed in the same year they have been indexed in this way: (e. 1854, R. 3, 141.
