ROCHFORT, Sr. JoaN's, NEwFOU!i'DLAND. itontmtl: PRINTED BY LOVELL PRINTING .AND PUBLISHING cm1PA~Y, FOR THB COMPILER, 1877. PREFACE. IN laying this, his first essay in this peculiar department, before a considerate, generous and enlightened public, the author is not uncon scious of its many shortcomings; but would venture to express a hope that the little work may not be found unacceptable to the business portion of our community, for whom it is principally intended. In the present instance, the author has labore<l under many unforeseen disadvantagei, not the least amongst which may be accounted the difficulties of commu nication attendant upon the peculiar sea!on of the year, it being late in the autumn when the work was at first projected. Under these circum stances, the amount of information connected with the outports of thQ Colony may not be of so ample or sa~isfactory a character as he would have desired, but he has little doubt that the amount of patronage accorded to the present effort may be of such a character as to justify 3 continuance in the future of a. work, each succeeding number of which must natu rally be expected to prove an improvement upon its predecessor. In co~ clusion, the author would express his most sincere and heartfelt thanks to his many kind friends for. the amount of patronage which they have so liberally and generously accorded him on the present occasion, as also to those who so obligingly furnished him with those portions of valuable information so requisite to the completion of his little book, and whoii«t kind services shall be ever gratefully re11wu1bered and appreciated by him.
