[GANONG] CAKïOGRAPHY OF NEW BRUNSWICK 42S 



maps in Eourinot's Cape Breton, and Prowse's Newfoundland. Mr. G. 

 R. F. Prowse is making for Newfoundland a microscopically minute 

 study, though 1 do not know that he has yet published any work upon 

 it. There is a paper on the Map-Literature of Canada, by H. Scaddin, of 

 some imjiortance for other parts of Canada, but not relating to our east- 

 ern region. 



Under the general works should be mentioned the great atlases of 

 reproductions of ancient maps, of which there are several of great excel- 

 lence, by Jomard, Kretschmer, Kuntsmann, Marcel, Muller, Nordenskjold. 

 These render accessible the materials for such studies as this, which, with- 

 out them, would be hardh' possible. Of great value for its account of 

 the early maps of America, and as a compendium of our early carto- 

 graphy, is Ruge's '• Entwickelung der Kartographie von Amerika." 

 Much important matter is contained in Harrisse's " Notes sur la Nouvelle 

 France," and Marcel's supplement to it, and also in Marcel's Catalogue 

 of the Collection of Maps exhibited by the Bibliothèque Nationale in 

 1893. 



For the cartograph}^ of New Brunswick this work has no predeces- 

 sore. Winsor has, in his "America " (Vol. V., 472), given a bi'ief outline 

 of the cartography ot Acadia for the earlier jjeriods, but it is too brief to 

 give a sufficient idea of the subject. The only other cartography of a 

 limited district in America that I know of is " Virginia Cartography," 

 by P. LeePhillij^s, in the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, No. 1039, 

 1896, but it is a mere list with no analysis. There must be others that I 

 do not know of. 



It is not necessary to trace further this subject of authorities and 

 literature, for the various notes through the text amplj^ explain the 

 other sources of information, which are, with rare exceptions, very well 

 known books. 



I have not given as full an account of some geographical documents 

 as may seem desirable, but it has been necessary to keep this work 

 strictlj' to cartography.
