Notes:
Caption: 'In the Elysium one of the series of Pictures on Human Culture in the Great Room of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts &c at the Adelphi, a mistake was committed owing to the delusion which has been so generally spread of considering Wm. Penn as the first Colonizer who established equal laws of Religious & Civil Liberty : this Design is therefore added to the Series in order to rectify the mistake in the groupe [sic] of Legislators by making Lycurgus looking at those exemplary laws as placed in the hands of Cacilius Calvert Baron of Baltimore who was the original establisher of them in his Colony of Maryland many years before Wm. Penn & his Colony arrived in America to copy the worthy example.'
