Ecclesiastical History of Newfoundland, by the Rt EcclesiasticalhistoryofNewfoundland ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF NEW-1 FOUNDLAND. By the Very Reverend M. F. Howlev, D.D.. Prefect Apostolic of | St. George's, West Newfoundland. 8vo, pp. 4»6. Boston : Doyle & Whittle. It must be confessed that Americans, those I of us at least who lire to the southward of (he | Canadian line, know but little of the great tri angular island that lies off the Gulf of St. Law- I rence. To its own inhabitants, indeed, it is in some decree an unknown land, for its interior | can hardly be said as yet to have been thorough ly explored, and there are solitudes among I the lakes and rivers of its remote wilderness that have probably never yet been seen by the eye of civilized man. Its nigged and pictur esque coast is touched only at widely separated points by passcngrr steamers, and but one short railway line has as yet penetrated the forests or disturbed the silence of the rocky fastnesses with its noisy evidence of civilization. Vet these in hospitable shores were early visited by mission aries from the Mother Church, and the opening | of the sixteenth century saw the symbol of the Christian religion reared at several points along the coast. Dr. Howley has been engaged in collecting material for the present history during the greater part of his life, having at an early age developed a taste for accumulating notes bearing upon the history of Newfoundland. The actual work of preparation, however, has occupied rather moie than a year. The learned author has had only one predecessor in the field, the kt Rev. I»r Mullock, whose history was never published, though it formed the basis of a Ice- I lure on the subject that has found its way into print. To this unfinished manuscript Dr. Haw- ley acknowledges his indebtedness as well as to I other less extended sources of information. He has brought to the work all the enthusiasm and teal of a life devoted to labors among the scenes | of which hU history treats, and the result is without question the standard work on the sub ject that has thus far been produced. While strictly ecclesiastical, in the technical tense, the work pfiiwi a local interest that render, it also in effect a general history of the colony in the early days of its development, and down to the year 1850, closing with the episcopate of the Kt. Kev. Dr. Fleming. ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY NEWFOUNDLAND i ^ THE VERY REVEREND M. F. HOWLEY, D.D. rrrject Apoitolit of Si. Ctorgt's, ll'ftt Xrti-fi'mtJIaiiJ BURNS&0ATES.L5 L( NDON.W.

M. F. 1 The Arms of the Pecei family. PREFACE. ALTHOUGH it is but little over a year since the first " stroke of the pen " was put to the composition of this work, still I may say, with some truth, that it has been in course of compilation for over a quarter of a century. 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 aneedote 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 archa?ological distinction was immediately transferred to the note-book or sketch book, with a view to being at some future day pre sented 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." Though knowing that I was deficient in a great deal of documentary lore which I would wish to obtain, yet I was conscious of possessing a con siderable amount of information, highly interesting, but of so heterogeneous a nature as to defy any effort at putting it 7 8 PREFACE. together in a connected form. I was thus bewildered as to what I should reproduce, what reject. I at first attempted to bring in a great deal of this, what I may call extrinsic information, by way of appendix or notes ; but I soon found that the notes would exceed the body of the work. This I knew would be a defiance of all just rules of proportion, so I was obliged to invent some means of incorporating it into the book. That I have not always succeeded in making smooth work I am fully con scious, and can only throw myself on the mercy of the indulgent reader. Another very great difficulty which confronted me was, that my material naturally divided itself into two classes, of so totally different a character that I at first thought it would be better to make two distinct books. The first class of items contained those concerning the general early history of America, "quorum magna pars fuit" Newfoundland, and on which I felt sure I had some facts, theories, docu ments, maps, etc., never yet published, which would be interesting to the general reader, not only in Newfound land, but in America and Europe. The second class consisted of purely local, almost house hold, facts, aneedotes, incidents, descriptions, etc., which could be interesting only to Newfoundlanders, and even to only a section of them, viz., the Roman Catholics. To separate the work into two books would, I saw, mutilate each, and render them imperfect ; to unite them I feared would render the book tedious and unacceptable to many. In this dilemma I was advised by a valued and experienced friend to put them together, and let them sink or swim on their merits. Thus, on this score, again I feel it necessary to crave the reader's forbearance. PREFACE. 9 When about to commence the work I fortunately came into possession of an unfinished manuscript Ecclesiastical History of Newfoundland, by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Mullock. This history was never published, though the well-known "Lect ures on Newfoundland," delivered in St. Bonaventure's College, and published in pamphlet, were compiled from it. I at first intended to use this manuscript as a basis on which to build my superstructure, taking it paragraph by paragraph, and introducing, as I went along, my own notes between brackets. But so much historical information has come to light since Dr. Mullock wrote (now nearly thirty years ago, 1856), that I found it quite impracticable, as it would pro duce a disjointed and disconnected narrative, and occasion many useless repetitions. I, therefore, determined to draw upon the above manuscript whenever necessary, as a rule making acknowledgment of it. For the history of Ferryland I am greatly indebted to the work of Henry Kirke, Esq., High Sheriff of Demerara, on the "Conquest of Canada." I regret, therefore, on some occasions being obliged to refute rather warmly some of that gentleman's assertions. Henry Kirke is a descendant of Sir David Kirke, who occupied Ferryland after Lord Baltimore, and died there. Also to Mr. Richardson, of Portland, Me., U.S., for a most interesting article on Ferryland, in the "Magazine of American History." For the description of Placentia, by Abbe Baudouin, I owe my thanks to J. P. Howley, Esq., F.G.S., Superintend ent of the Geological Survey of Newfoundland, and to Mr. Jack, of St. John, N.B., who copied the original French document from the archives of Ottawa.

  • The History of Ancient Vinland
    This compilation © Phoenix E-Books UK THE HISTORY OF ANCIENT VINLAND BY THORMOD TORFASON. Translated from the Latin of 1705 by PROF. CHARLES G. HERBERMANN, PH D., LL. D., WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JOHN GILMARY SHEA. NEW YORK: JOHN G. SHEA, 1891. INTRODUCTION. The work of Torfaeus, a learned Icelander, which is here presented was the first book in which the story of the discovery of Vinland by the Northmen was made known to general readers. After the appearance of his work, the subject slumbered, until Rafn in this century attempted to fix the position of the Vinland of Northern accounts. Since that time scholars have been divided. Our leading his torians, George Bancroft, Hildreth, Winsor, Elliott, Palfrey, regard voyages by the Norsemen southward from Greenland as highly probable, but treat the sagas as of no historical value, and the attempt to trace the route of the voyages, and fix the localities of places mentioned, as idle, with such vague indications as these early accounts, committed to writing long after the events described, can possibly afford. Toulmin Smith, Beamish, Reeves and others accepted the Norseman story as authentic, and Dr. B. F. De Costa, Hors- ford and Baxter are now the prominent advocates and adherents of belief in the general accuracy of the Vinland narratives. As early as 1073 Adam of Bremen spoke of Vinland, a country where grape vines grew wild, and in 1671 Montanus, followed in 1702 by Campanius, the chronicler of New Swe den, alluded to its discovery. Peringskjold in 1697 published some of the sagas and thus brought the question more defin before scholars but a in itively ; Torfaeus, man well versed the history of his native island, in the book here given col lected from the priestly and monastic writings all that was accessible in his day.

    EXPRESSIONS OF SOVEREIGNTY EXPRESSIONS OF SOVEREIGNTY: LAW AND AUTHORITY IN THE MAKING OF THE OVERSEAS BRITISH EMPIRE, 1576-1640 By KENNETH RICHARD MACMILLAN, M.A. A Thesis . Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University ©Copyright by Kenneth Richard MacMillan, December 2001 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2001) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Expressions of Sovereignty: Law and Authority in the Making of the Overseas British Empire, 1576-1640 AUTHOR: Kenneth Richard MacMillan, B.A. (Hons) (Nipissing University) M.A. (Queen's University) SUPERVISOR: Professor J.D. Alsop NUMBER OF PAGES: xi, 332 11 ABSTRACT .~. ~ This thesis contributes to the body of literature that investigates the making of the British empire, circa 1576-1640. It argues that the crown was fundamentally involved in the establishment of sovereignty in overseas territories because of the contemporary concepts of empire, sovereignty, the royal prerogative, and intemationallaw. According to these precepts, Christian European rulers had absolute jurisdiction within their own territorial boundaries (internal sovereignty), and had certain obligations when it carne to their relations with other sovereign states (external sovereignty). The crown undertook these responsibilities through various "expressions of sovereignty". It employed writers who were knowledgeable in international law and European overseas activities, and used these interpretations to issue letters patent that demonstrated both continued royal authority over these territories and a desire to employ legal codes that would likely be approved by the international community. The crown also insisted on the erection of fortifications and approved of the publication of semiotically charged maps, each of which served the function of showing that the English had possession and effective control over the lands claimed in North and South America, the North Atlantic, and the East and West Indies.

  • Early History of St Rita's
    Early History of St Rita’s 1885 - 1960 Version 1 - 2013 PART III – founding charism and traditions: the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. NANO NAGLE Nano Nagle (christened Honora) was born in 1718 of a long- standing Catholic family at Ballygriffin near Mallow in North Cork. Her home lay in the beautiful valley of the Blackwater backed by the Nagle Mountains to the south. Her father was Garret Nagle, a wealthy landowner in the area; her mother, Ann Mathews, was from an equally prominent family in Co. Tipperary. Like others of the old Catholic gentry, the Nagles had managed to hold on to most of their land and wealth during the era of the Penal Laws in the eighteenth century. Edmund Burke, the famous parliamentaria n and orator, who was a relative of Nano Nagle on his mother's side, and had spent his early years in Ballygriffin, described those laws in one trenchant sentence: "Their declared object was to reduce the Catholics in Ireland to a miserable populace, without property, without estimation, without education" The Penal Laws made it unlawful to open a Catholic school at home, and at the same time, forbade them to travel overseas for their education. Nano had to go to a hedge school for her primary education. While the "hedge school" label suggests the classes always took place outdoors next to a hedgerow, classes were sometimes held in a house or barn. A hedgerow is a line of closely spaced shrubs and tree species, planted and trained to form a barrier or to separate a road from adjoining fields or one field from another.
