Excerpt from History and Geography of Nova Scotia This book aims to tell its story clearly and simply, to suit the wants of school children, for whom it is specially intended. In order to bring it within the compass required of a school book, much important matter has been omitted. For some schools it may yet be found to embrace too much. Partly to meet such cases, it is printed in two sizes of type, the larger of which sustains the main thread of the narrative. The smaller type can therefore be omitted without losing the connection. For the period which it covers, Murdoch's "History of Nova Scotia" has been taken as authority; for more recent events much has been gleaned from Howe's "Speeches and Public Letters," edited by the Hon. William Annand. I am also under obligations to two or three gentlemen for valuable hints and criticisms. With these few prefatory words this book is submitted to the teachers of Nova Scotia, from whom any suggestions that may tend to its improvement will be thankfully received.
