Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch on Gaspesia The great peninsula which forms the south-east of the province of Quebec is called Gaspesia. This territory is situated between 49° 15´ at Pointe du GrosMàle, on the St-Lawrence, and 47° 49´ latitude, at the confluence of the rivers Ristigouche and Matapedia, also between 64° 22´, at Cape Rosier, and 68° 6´ longitude, at the mouth of the great river Metis. The gulf of St-Lawrence forms the north-eastern limit of Gaspesia. It is bound, on the south, by the Baie des Chaleurs and the river Ristigouche, which seperates it from New-Brunswick, as far as the meeting of the rivers Ristigouche and Patapedia. The western limit is formed by a line following the course of the river Matapedia to its source aud continuing from there, to the head of the river Metis, whose course it follows till it reaches the St-Lawrence. It is measured from east to west on a line drawn between Point St-Pierre and the mouth of the river Metis; the greatest length of this territory is about one hundred and eighty miles. Its greatest breadth, when mesured from north to south, between the Point of Gros-Male and that of Bonaventure, is about ninety miles. The superficial extent between these limits amounts to 10,783.73 miles, or 6,900,941 square acres. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
