Description
Excerpt from Newfoundland: As It Was, and as It Is in 1877
And about 930 miles from New York, appears'' to be less known to the British and American people than Australia, New Zealand, or the remotest parts of the globe. The design of the author, in the publication of this work, is to Show the British and American reader that Newfoundland is something more than a mere fishing station, as well as to make Newfoundlanders themselves better acquainted with their own country. The best sources of information have been consulted, and made use of without limitation. The grand Object of all sound history should be to place the simple truth before the reader. I have made this book out of my self, out of my life. I have derived it from Observation, from my relations of friendship, and of neighbourhood; have picked it up from the roads; above all, I have found it in the recollections of my youth. To know.
