Présentation de l'éditeur :
Tru: first volume of this work, delineating the career of a French colony, has probably less to engage the attention of some readers than the present portion. After the peace of A ix la Chapelle, (1748), our history begins to have an English aspect, and actors appear upon the stage whose names are familiar, and from time to time the founders of families still existing among us attract our attention. The stir and excitement of wars and sieges,- the convulsions of revolution among our neighbors, pass on like the shifting scenes of dissolving views. The beginnings of agricultural and commercial enterprize appear, and the institution of representative government is firmly established in the land, bringing into active play many of the exciting passions. Meanwhile, emigration draws in skill, talent and industry, and by almost imperceptible degrees the people acquire habits, sentiments and pursuits suited to the land in which they live-to its climate and circumstances, and thus the Nova Scotian character is gradually developed. In the third volume I hope to bring down the narration to comparatively recent times. I have endeavored to reduce the materials I had collected into a brief space, but there were many things that tended to exhibit and illustrate the peculiarities of the place, the times and the people, and some biographical particulars, that I felt were worth preservation.

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books.
There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon.
Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.
