Excerpt from Lost Amid the Fogs: Sketches of Life in Newfoundland, England's Ancient ColonyI know now that ignorance alone has militated against an interest in the affairs of England's Ancient Colony. Widely different were the facts and bearings of life there to what I had supposed. My lot has been cast in almost every colony of Our vast dominion. Not even excepting dear old Corfu, have three, happier years than those (perforce at first, and very willingly after wards) in Newfoundland, been ever spent abroad.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
