A Short description of the Island of St. John, in the Gulph of St. Lawrence, North-America : [25 June 1779]

  • CA PCA Acc4437
  • Fonds
  • 25 June 1779

This fonds consists of a pamphlet which appears to be one of Robert Clark's attempts to entice settlers to the colony of St. John's Island. Signed by various London merchants, it depicts an idyllic pastoral setting with great prospects of profit in agriculture, fishing, and commerce for those of an industrious and enterprising nature. All this was to be had for the purchase price of 100 per 500 acres or for a lease granted on "the most reasonable terms".

Clark, Robert
