AN ad vertifement having been published for the sale of a
certain trad 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 public of the
claim of the Proprietors of Pennsylvania on that quarter. The
charter boundary of Pennsylvania on the south, is the 40th de
gree of north latitude. The prior grant of the province of
Maryland tok off from Pennsylvania near 50 miles in breadth,
so far as Maryland extends westward. Beyond tb^t extent the
Proprietors of Pennsylvania claim agreeable to their charter,
as far south as the 40th degree (which is computed to be near
50 miles to the southward of what is called Dixon and Mason’s
line) and westward in that breadth to the extent of 5 degrees
of longitude from Delaware, and they have a petition depend
ing before the King and Council for running the south boundary
of the province, agreeable to that conftrudion of the charter;
of all which it is thought proper to give this public notice, in
order that those who incline to become purchasers in Indiana
may not be uninfoimed of the claim of the Proprietors of Penn
sylvania. A further explanation of which may be seen in a note
at the bottom of William Scull's map of this province.
By order of the Governor,
