Présentation de l'éditeur

Ever since the happy days of school-boy life I have been always on the alert to gather material. It may be called a hobby ;it may be called a craze or a crank ;it was certainly an absorbing passion to grasp with avidity everything in any way bearing upon the past history of our country ;every anecdote of the olden time ;every scrap of manuscript; every inscription or epitaph having the slightest pretension to antiquity; every vestige of the former occupation of Newfoundland, whether civil, military, or ecclesiastical, -- in a word, everything with the shadow of a claim to archaeological distinction was immediately transferred to the note-book or sketch book, with a view to being at some future day presented to the public. Hence, it may be imagined that, when at last the momentous step was actually resolved upon to make a beginning, I was confronted with that serious difficulty so elegantly defined by our French writers as An embarrassment of wealth.
