About this Item

viii,(9),10-84 pp. Octavo. Bound in modern half calf and marbled boards. Boards slightly bowed. Red morocco label on spine. Text with occasional browning. Small marginal repair on last leaf not effecting the text. A very nice copy. Sabin 41523. Sabin states this is the first edition and there was a reprint done in Boston the year after. Copac probably shows a dozen locations for "real" copies. Little, a native of Massachusetts, was appointed Surveyor General for Nova Scotia in 1949, the same year Halifax was founded. He demonstrates the importance of the colony in terms of trade and resources and as a barrier to the French to the West. Quite uncommon. Not really a polar title but certainly Northern at the time!
