Publishing Company.
This dainty little volume is sent out
with the compliments of the New
foundiand government and should
certainly prove a profitable bit of en-
tcrprise.
The work is finely executed AMI is
profusely illustrated with half tone
reproductions Of photographs which
serve to give better idea of the
island. it's conditions. and its re-
sources than any amount of descrip-
tive writing. From this interesting
volume we learn that Newfoundland
has an area of 1900 miles: the coast
is rock bound. at many points pre-
senting bold cliffs hundreds of feet in
height In this respect it resembles
Norway which has led to its desiSna-
ton of the American Norway. The
interior is diversified by hills. noun
tains. plains. forests. rivers and lakes.
The forests consist chiefly of fir.
spruce. pine and birch. There are
good agricultural lands. as yet little
titled.
The population of the colony was
20 600 at the date of the last census,
ten years ago. The inhabitants are
chiefly engaged in cod lobster and seal
fisheries the annual revenue from all
of which is s. coo. 900. The population
is almost exclusively confined to The
coast. owing to the inacccssibility OF
the interior for lack of roads. This
barrier has in large measure been
overcome by the recent completion
of a transins,ilar railway extending
