[ganong] cartography OF NEW BRUNSWICK 423 



APPENDIX. 



Sources of Information. 



In the preparation of this work I have received help at many points 

 from several friends and correspondents, to whom I wish here to tender 

 my grateful acknowledgment. For a series of very beautiful and valu- 

 able photographs of early maps I have to thank Mr. G. E. F. Prowse, of 

 Bradford, Yorkshire, England, who has also sent me valuable notes, too 

 special for use in this paper, but showing the wealth of cartographical 

 material he possesses and the scholarly use he is making of it. Herr Dr. 

 Sophus Euge, of Dresden, has had the great kindness to send me a trac- 

 ing of the Desliens map from the Eoyal Librarj-, of which earlier M. 

 Harrisse had sent me a sketch. The late Mr. Justin Winsor, whose 

 recent death is the greatest loss our cartograph}' has ever sustained, has 

 sevei'al times favoured me with advice. M. Henr}- Vignaud, of the United 

 States Legation at Paris, has done me the greatest kindness in obtaining 

 line copies of several maps from the French archives, which I could not 

 possibly have secured without his aid. At several points, also, 1 have had 

 the great advantage of the assistance of Mr, Victor H. Paltsits, of the 

 Lenox Library, New York, whose rare bibliographical instinct is combined 

 with a sympathetic interest in his fellow-students' work and most cheer- 

 ful willingness to aid them. Mr. Thos. G. Loggie, of the Crown Land 

 office, Fredericton, has, as before, always been ready to make available to 

 mo the fulness of his knowledge of New Brunswick geography.. Eev. 

 W. 0. Eaymond, of St. John, has allowed me the u.se of several valuable 

 records, of which he possesses a large collection. Mr. Arthur Hill, of 

 St. Stephen, has loaned me several maps, and has given me the valuable 

 and rare Bonnor map. My friend Mr. S. W, Kain, of St. John, has sent 

 me many notes on maps, and rendered other valuable service. Mr. Harry 

 Piers, of Halifax, has also given me assistance, as have several others 

 whose names are mentioned in the preceding pages. 



In making these studies I have had the great advantage of the 

 use of Harvard College Library, which, as is well known, possesses the 

 largest collection of American maps in existence, and also is very rich in 

 map-literature, including atlases of reproductions. The entire collection, 

 moreover, is in the very best condition of order and accessibility, as it is 

 to be expected in any collection under the care of Mr. Winsor. There 

 are very valuable maps, also, in the Massachusetts Archives in the State 

 House at Boston, which includes the valuable Ben Perley Poore collection. 

 The Boston Athenœum Library contains, also, some rare New Brunswick 

 maps, which I have been allowed to examine freely. The collection in 

 the Boston Public Library is also of use, though not so rich as the others
