Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Newfoundland: From the Earliest Times to the Year 1860 The present History of Newfoundland owes its origin to the natural desire I felt, to know something of the people among whom I had come to reside. The result of enquiries in this direction, both in England and in St. John´s, was to show that the published materials relating to the growth and character of the colony were very scanty indeed. In the course of a conversation I had with Sir Alexander Bannerman, the present Governor of the island, about two years ago, His Excellency expressed his regret that there was not a good history of the colony. He at the same time stated, that he thought he had discovered an extensive collection of Records, which would furnish authentic matter for such a work. At a later period I made formal application to the Governor for permission to examine the Records, with the view of preparing (from such memoranda chiefly) some historical account of the colony.
