This volume surpasses all others for valuable historical, geographical and bibliographical information respecting Nova Scotia or Acadia and part of Canada. The two maps on the same scale show clearly what is claimed by both parties, French and English. They cover the whole territory south of the Gulf of St Lawrence, east of Lake Champlain, and north of Massachusetts, and include all the disputed tracts and grants of the English and French governments. The French map shows the English limits claimed in 1750 and 1751 ; limits of Acadia and Port Royal by the Treaty of Utrecht ; limits of Nova Scotia as granted to Sir Wm. Alexander, 1621 ; Cromwell’s grant to La Tour, Crown and Temple in 1656 ; the country restored to France by the Treaty of Breda ; the government of Denys in 1654, Charnesay’s in 1638, and La Tour’s in 1638. The English map delineates Nova Scotia as claimed by the English by the Treaty of Utrecht, 1713 ; as granted to Sir Wm. Alexander, 1621 ; according to Champlain, 1603-1629 ; with the country west to the Penobscot ; Acadia as granted by Louis XIII and XIV, 1632-1710 ; enlarged to the Kennebeck by further grant to Stirling, 1635 ; Acadia proper according to the tripartite division named by Charlevoix ; Charnesay’s and La Tour’s governments in 1638 ; Cromwell’s grant to La Tour, Crown, and Temple in 1656 ; Acadia claimed by France at theTreaty of Breda, 1667 ; Norembega, between the Penobscot and Kennebeck ; and the Etechemin’s coast according to Champlain and Denys. The text well illustrates and explains these two maps. This copy is quite perfect, but Sheet I (pp. 57-64) is missing in most copies, and is generally supplied by a duplicate of some other sheet. An imperfect copy can be supplied, price 10s 6d. For Memoires’ and ‘ Memorials see Nos 1884, 1891 & 1892.
