Excerpt from A Character of the Province of Maryland: Described in Four Distinct Part, Also a Small Treatise on the Wild and Naked Indians (or Susquehanokes) Of Maryland, Their Customs, Manners, Absurdities, and Religion Alsop's book appeared in 1666. One of the laudatory verses that preface it is dated January, 1665 (g), and' as it would appear that he did not remain In Maryland after the expiration of his four years, except perhaps for a short time in consequence of a fit of sickness to which he alludes, he probably returned to London to resume his Old career. Of his subsequent life nothing is known, and though Allison ascribes to him a volume of Sermons, we may safely express our grave doubts whether the author of this tract can be suspected of anything of the kind. The book, written in a most extravagant style, contains no facts as to the stirring events in Maryland history which preceded its date, and in View, doubtless, of the still exasperated state of public feeling, seems to have studiously avoided all allusion to so unattractive a subject. As an historical tract it derives its chief value from the portion which comprises its Relation of the Susquehanna Indians. The object for which the tract was issued seems evident. It Was designed to stimulate emigration to Maryland, and is written in a vulgar style to suit the class it was to reach. While from its dedication to Lord Baltimore, and the merchant adventurers, we may infer that it was paid for by them, in order to encourage emigration, especially of redemptioners. Much of the early emigration to America was effected by what was called the redemption system. Under this, one disposed to emigrate, but unable to raise the ???6, entered into a contract in the following form, with a merchant adventurer, ship owner or ship master, and occasionally with a gentleman emigrant of means, under which the latter gave him his passage and supplies.
