I5 8 HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF NEWFOUNDLAND 



AUTHORITIES 



The State Papers are now no longer accessible ; although extracts are 

 accessible in Reeves, Prowse, and other historians. Committees of the 

 House of Commons published three valuable Reports on Newfoundland 

 in 1793, and another Report in 1817. Reeves and Anspach, and in 

 minor matters Griffith Williams, the Cartwrights, and Chappell write 

 with authority about events in which they took part. In the references 

 to Jukes and the Church in the Colonies may be read recollections by 

 octogenarians of the days of their youth. Statutes of the Realm and 

 Law Reports begin to throw considerable light on the history. The 

 Royal Gazette (Newfoundland) dates from 1807. 



Amongst second-hand authorities, see The Very Reverend M. F. 

 Howley, Ecclesiastical History of Newfoundland, 1888. The author 

 is the Roman Catholic Archbishop at St. John's and is a well-known 

 writer on the origins of the history of Newfoundland.
