nThe Name of Maine. -

TO the Editor Of the Press:
I have read with interest the article in your
paper of the 9th under the above heading.
Why Maine was so called is a question about
which historians differ, although as 81. P. b."
AYERS there can be no doubt about the legal ORR
gin of the name, SO to speak. 1t is hardly
refutation of Mr.. Sullivan's statement that
Charles 1. so named the province in compli-
ment to his wife, who was French woman, to
produce the charter in which heiactually gave
1t the name of Maine, but 1t rather strength
ems Sullivan's position. Another historian
says tne name was given as compliment TO
the wife Of Charles, because she was connected
in France.
The phrase maine land" is jim no way pecu-
iiar 10 The charter of Maine. 1t occurs uni"
iormly in all the old charters granting lands in
New England, hence it could hardly have sug-
gested TO the King name for this province.
Names were matters of great importance IN
the days OF Charles, and it is safe to presume
that ne gave name to this country, by which
IL should be forever called, only after due de-
llDeraton, and in accordance with kingly usa-
ges.
Some have given the Indians credit for the
Dame, as they habitually used the term The
MAINE" when speaking of the main land, SO
distinguished from che numerous islands along
the coast. But they applied the phrase to the
whole New England coast line, and used it
secondhand, at that. Back of all this, as ear
ly as 1907, Dutch writer, named De Peyster,
wrote OF the Dutch in Maine," meaning UNI
doubtedly the territory which constituted our
present State.
Thus, the question, where the name came
from, is an open one. viii not some of our
scholars, with libraries at hand, make careful
study of this matter, SO important to every
lover OF local history, and give the result
through the PRESS. Y.
