. A View of the rise, progress, and present state of the Newfoundland fishery [microform] : with some observations on its government, civil establishment, revenue and expenditure. Fisheries; Pêches. : A ^ I E W, &<. NfAVFOUNDLAND, on<i of the earliest discovered, is yet j)erli;ips the least perfectly known of the British North American possessions and althou«^h it h;\s from time to time enga'.;ed much of the attention of Govern- ment, still its true cha^'acter seems to have been little rnxlerstood, or at least not to have had dnc consider- ation in and adopting arrangements for its government. Tiie causes of this manifest want of correct information on the subject are to be traced to the discordant testimony of parties, whose conflicting interests have prompted them to give contradictory views of tlie soil, 'limate, and local capabilities of the island, and of the social, moral, an commercial rela- tions of its inhabitants, as best suited tlieir several purposes, either to support or oppose such measures as have been recommended to, or deemed necessary to be adopted by His Majesty's Government, and the imperfect information of official men, who§c transitory acquaintance with the island, acquired duriug their limited periodical residences, did not qualify them to take an enlarged view of the subject.
