Land-Office, Philadelphia, April 20, 1776.
AN advertisement leaving been published for the sale of a
certain tract of country to the westward, called Indiana,
which is said to bind on the north, in some parts, by the line
of Pennsylvania; it becomes necessary to inform the publick
of the claim of the Proprietors of Pennsylvania on that
quarter. The charter boundary of Pennsylvania, on the
south, is the 40th degree of north latitude. The prior grant
of the province of Maryland took off from Pennsylvania
near fifty miles in breadth, so far as Maryland extends weft
ward, beyond that extent the Proprietor, of Pennfylvanri
claim, agreeable to their charter, as far south as the 40th de
gree (which is computed to be near fifty miles to the south
ward of what is commonly called Dixon and Mason's line)
and westward in that breadth to the extent of five degrees of
longitude from Delaware; and they have a petition depend
ing before the King and Council for running the south boon
dary of the province, agreeable to that conftrurilion of the
charter; of all which it is thought proper to give this public
notice, in order that those who incline to become purchasers
of Indiana, may not be uninformed of the claim of the Pro
prietors of Pennsylvania.—A further explanation of which
may be seen in a note at the bottom of William Scull's map
in this province B, order of the Governor,
