The Story of Our Colonies: With Sketches of Their Present ConditionsJ. Hogg, 1869 - 411 עמודים This book explains the past, present, and future of Britain's colonies around the world, especially the political and economic advantages they provide to Britain, and how to ensure they continue to do so. Newfoundland appears in both the first and sixth chapters. The first chapter, about Britain's earliest colonies, includes Newfoundland as the island held the distinction of being Britain's oldest; the sixth chapter is dedicated entirely to Newfoundland, with topics including the fisheries, the island's history as a colony, and the issues that created and arose from the French Shore Question. |
