  New 
  York, 
  1913 
  (The 
  Macmillan 
  Company). 
  — 
  It 
  

   is 
  now 
  thirteen 
  years 
  since 
  Doctor 
  Clarke 
  first 
  visited 
  Gaspe* 
  for 
  

   the 
  purpose 
  of 
  seeing 
  the 
  Lower 
  Devonian 
  formations 
  exposed 
  

   there. 
  Since 
  then 
  he 
  has 
  been 
  in 
  this 
  secluded 
  land 
  of 
  cod 
  almost 
  

   every 
  summer, 
  and 
  has 
  fallen 
  deeply 
  in 
  love 
  with 
  the 
  " 
  kindly 
  

   people 
  of 
  the 
  Gaspe 
  coast" 
  and 
  their 
  picturesque 
  sea-eaten 
  land. 
  

   In 
  his 
  recent 
  book 
  he 
  presents 
  his 
  " 
  untechnical 
  sketches 
  " 
  of 
  this 
  

   inviting 
  country 
  in 
  a 
  most 
  sympathetic 
  manner 
  and 
  in 
  captivat- 
  

   ing 
  language. 
  

  

  Geologists 
  familiar 
  with 
  Clarke's 
  " 
  Early 
  Devonic 
  History 
  of 
  

   New 
  York 
  and 
  Eastern 
  North 
  America," 
  published 
  in 
  1908 
  and 
  

   1909, 
  will 
  certainly 
  want 
  to 
  read 
  the 
  present 
  work, 
  not 
  only 
  to 
  

   learn 
  of 
  the 
  quaint 
  country, 
  but 
  as 
  well 
  to 
  see 
  the 
  author 
  from 
  an 
  

   interesting 
  viewpoint. 
  Here 
  he 
  is 
  among 
  the 
  fishermen, 
  living 
  

   with 
  them 
  as 
  their 
  honored 
  guest, 
  learning 
  from 
  them 
  tales 
  of 
  

   their 
  fisheries, 
  their 
  early 
  settlements, 
  their 
  ancestry, 
  their 
  trials 
  

   and 
  perils 
  in 
  a 
  bleak 
  land. 
  Throughout 
  there 
  is 
  woven 
  a 
  vivid 
  

   picture 
  of 
  the 
  scenery, 
  the 
  destructive 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  sea, 
  and 
  

   something 
  of 
  the 
  geology 
  and 
  natural 
  history. 
  Bonaventure 
  is 
  

   to 
  him 
  the 
  Isle 
  of 
  the 
  Golden 
  Jug, 
  a 
  trophy 
  that 
  turns 
  him 
  from 
  

   a 
  hunter 
  of 
  fossils 
  to 
  a 
  seeker 
  of 
  Sunderland 
  ware, 
  a 
  Cartier 
  

   medallion, 
  and 
  old 
  prints 
  and 
  maps.
