H. Spierenburg, M.D.E. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION In the press of rapidly changing current events, and with the need and desire to provide statistical services relevant to those events, it is essential to sustain an historical perspective. This volume contributes to that perspective. Just as current statistical information provides the foundation and matrix for identification of current societal issues, for policy formation and for program monitoring, so also does historical statistics help portray the realities of the history of Prince Edward Island. In this volume one can trace the historical conditions of Islanders respecting inflation, housing, employment, health, education, finance - all matters of current relevance. This volume, like its out-of-print predecessor Prince Edward Island Statistics: Past and Present, contains a wide range of economic, social and political data and a considerable amount of material descriptive of the data for the period from before Confederation to the end of the twentieth century. I want to express my appreciation to all those who contributed to this work,especially Statistics Canada as well as many colleagues from the provincial public service.. H. Spierenburg, M.D.E.

John Boyle O'Reilly. PREFACE We had at first intended that this should be a book without a preface, and indeed it needs none, for it speaks in no uncer- tain tones for itself; but on reconsideration we decided that it would be more seemly to give a short explanation of our aim, our motives, and our methods. As a result of innumerable inquiries which have come to us during our experience as educators, we have been forced to the conclusion that the performances of the Irish race in many fields of endeavor are entirely unknown to most people, and that even to the elect they are not nearly so well known as they deserve to be. Hence there came to us the thought of placing on record, in an accessible, comprehensive, and permanent form, an outline of the whole range of Irish achievement dur- ing the last two thousand years.

Rusty Bittermann* and The One that Got Away: Margaret E. McCallum- Fishery Reserves in Prince Edward Island In 1767, the British government divided Prince Edward Island into sixty-seven townships of about 20,000 acres each, and allocated all but one of these to about one hundred people who had some claim on the Crown's munificence. Subsequently, Island governments complained of their disadvantaged state in comparison with other British North American colonies, which could raise revenue by selling rights to Crown land and resources. Their complaints, although not totally unjustified, did not acknowledge the extensive and valuable lands which the Crown retained as fishery reserves. Most of the township grants reserved rights to the first 500 feet of land above the high water mark, to facilitate pursuit of the fishery. Debates about the nature and extent of the reserves were part of the long struggle to end the concentration of land ownership in the hands of owners of large estates, and to convert leaseholds to freeholds.
