Pai-ticular mention of our cod-fishery on the coasts of Nova Scotia, in 

 the Bay of Chaleurs, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and elsewhere in 

 British America, may be omitted ; since the brief notice of the manner 

 of conducting it at Newfoundland, at Labrador, and in the Bay of 

 Fundy, is sufficient to give a general idea of it, in vessels and boats, 

 in the open sea, in harbors, along the shores, and in the most distant 

 regions.
