William Brown started a small business c. 1860, with premises at Broad Cove, and Tack's Beach soon became a minor mercantile centre for the people of nearby islands. The business was expanded by his son as H.C. Brown and Co., and became an important local firm. Other planters of Tack's Beach in 1871 were Benjamin Barrett and Samuel and Thomas Bolt.

  • Rhetorics of Stoic Philosophy in Eighteenth-Century Discourses of Sentiment
    Out of Closets: Rhetorics of Stoic Philosophy in Eighteenth-Century Discourses of Sentiment Randall Cream The Spectator was one of those cultural icons whose importance was obvious even as it was being established. While it was not the first popular broadsheet to captivate its London readership, the Spectator proved to be a powerful voice in the rapid transformation of London culture in the early decades of the eighteenth century. In their publication of the Spectator, Joseph Addison and Richard Steele were able to substantially affect the eighteenth-century marketplace of ideas by regularizing the cultivation of morality as central to this milieu. Within the pages of the Spectator, morality emerges as a reciprocal relationship between virtuous individuals and a just civil society, forging a bridge between public good and private virtue while retaining the separate categories.1 As Alan McKenzie notes, the Spectator’s focus on social relations as a proper ethical sphere coincides with its function “of inculcating classical values and morals for a new, partly financial and mercantile public” (89).2 McKenzie’s work analyzes the complex relationship developed between the Spectator and its reader, a relationship that characterizes moral instruction, social connections, and self-understanding as “‘humanizing’ this new public” (89). But we can go further. One function of the Spectator’s specific combination of an ethics of interiority and a socialized network of moral relationships is the articulation of a subjectivity characterized by affective performance and self-restraint. This curious subjectivity, profoundly eighteenth-century in its split focus, is intricately linked to the discourses that compose the Spectator.

(HOI S.) ~- ··- 223870 A GRAVITY SURVEY OF EASTERN NOTRE DAME BAY, NEWFOUNDLAND by @ HUGH G. MILLER, B.Sc. {HCNS.) .. Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, Memorial University of Newfoundland. July 20, 1970 11 ABSTRACT A gravity survey was undertaken on the archipelago and adjacent coast of eastern Notre Dame Bay, Newfoundland. A total of 308 gravity stations were occupied with a mean station spacing of 2,5 km, and 9 gravity sub-bases were established. Elevations for the survey were determined by barometric and direct altimetry. The densities of rock samples collected from 223 sites were detenmined. A Bouguer anomaly map was obtained and a polynomial fitting technique was employed to determine the regional contribution to the total Bouguer anomaly field. Residual and regional maps based on a fifth­ order polynomial were obtained. Several programs were written for the IBM 360/40 computer used in this and model work. Three-dimensional model studies were carried out and a satisfactory overall fit to the total Bouguer field was obtained. Several shallow features of the anomaly maps were found to correlate well with surface bodies, i.e. granite or diorite bodies. Sedimentary rocks had little effect on the gravity field. The trace of the Luke's Arm fault was delineated. The following new features we r~ discovered: (1) A major structural discontinuity near Change Islands; (2) A layer of relatively high ·density (probably basic to ultrabasic rock) at 5 - 10 km depth.

  • WITHIN and WITHOUT the ARCTIC CIRCLE. by N. E. Odell
    Within and Without the Arctic Circle. 27 WITHIN AND WITHOUT THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. BY N. E. ODELL. (The substance of parts of this paper was read before the Alpine Club, February 7, 1933.) URING the past twelve years, often with geological exploration and research as the chief end in view, it bas been my good fortune to visit some of the remoter moun­ tains that either lie proximate to that romantic parallel of latitude the Arctic Circle, or are situated well N. of it. Many of these mountain ranges differ much one from another on · account of widely varying climate and precipitation, apart from altitude, and their unfrequented if not unexplored character in many cases makes them formidable as well as strenuous propositions. Indeed, without qualm of exaggeration, the writer can say that in his experience the type of mountaineering involved in these expeditions is of an order of exaction usually much in excess of the average biggish Alpine excursion. In spite of the quite moderate altitude, often, of these Arctic and Subarctic ranges, the methods of approach, the long line of camps, and the heavy porterage necessary, apart from climatic conditions, place them more in a Himalayan category, and nowhere is this resemblance borne in on one so forcibly as amongst the giant glaciers of Greenland, or even of Spitsbergen. In the following account it is my purpose to give an outline of impressions and experiences, on two recent summer expeditions to the mountains of North-east Labrador, and those of North­ east Greenland, including an ascent of Beerenberg in the island of Jan Mayen.

Learning about our own part of the earth can help us get a better understanding of the world at large. Much of the information now available about our province is aimed at young readers and people with at least a high school education. The Hitch-Hiker is intended to provide information which beginning adult readers can read and understand. This work has a special feature we hope readers will appreciate and enjoy. Many of the places written about in this book are seen through the eyes of an adult learner and other fictional characters. These characters were created to help add a touch of reality to the printed page. We hope the characters and the things they learn and talk about also give the reader a better understanding of our province. Above all, we hope this book challenges your curiosity and encourages you to search for more information about our land.
