Excerpt from A Paper Upon California: Read Before the Maryland Historical Society It is not my design to review fully the history of California from the period of its earliest settlement, but only to embody such facts as are essential to the connection of this narrative, and tend to explain points which it may be necessary briefly to discuss. The country known under the name of California, stretches upon the Eastern edge of the Pacific Ocean, from the parallel of 22° 48' to the 42d degree of North latitude, and is divided into upper and lower California. Old or lower california is the name applied to the Peninsula which trends to the south-east, between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California, to the 22d parallel.
