﻿INDEX 
  OF 
  LICENSE 
  LEGISLATION 
  IN 
  THE 
  UNITED 
  STATES 
  AND 
  

   CANADA, 
  1872-1904. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  index 
  is 
  arranged 
  chronologically 
  to 
  show 
  the 
  progress 
  

   of 
  license 
  legislation 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  and 
  Canada. 
  An 
  attempt 
  is 
  

   here 
  made 
  to 
  bring 
  together 
  in 
  a 
  brief 
  summary 
  all 
  the 
  important 
  

   acts, 
  including 
  those 
  prohibiting 
  nonresidents 
  from 
  hunting*, 
  which 
  

   have 
  been 
  passed 
  in 
  the 
  various 
  States 
  and 
  Provinces 
  since 
  1872, 
  

   apparently 
  the 
  date 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  hunting-license 
  law 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  

   States. 
  Various 
  restrictions 
  were 
  imposed 
  on 
  nonresidents 
  much 
  

   earlier 
  than 
  this, 
  but 
  no 
  attempt 
  has 
  been 
  made 
  to 
  collect 
  these 
  laws 
  

   systematically. 
  The 
  more 
  important 
  ones, 
  with 
  their 
  references, 
  are 
  

   noted 
  on 
  pages 
  10-12. 
  

  

  The 
  number 
  of 
  statutes 
  mentioned 
  in 
  the 
  following 
  list 
  is 
  about 
  160, 
  

   of 
  which 
  over 
  50 
  are 
  local 
  laws 
  of 
  Maryland. 
  Each 
  entry 
  is 
  accom- 
  

   panied 
  by 
  a 
  brief 
  statement 
  of 
  the 
  important 
  provisions 
  of 
  the 
  law 
  and 
  

   a 
  reference 
  to 
  the 
  volume 
  and 
  chapter 
  or 
  page, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  original 
  

   statute 
  may 
  be 
  readily 
  consulted, 
  if 
  k 
  necessary.
