Historical notes:
This account of the history, economy, and politics of Newfoundland was officially prepared for the Lords Commissioners of Trade and Plantations in London and relates to the question of whether Newfoundland should be developed for landholders or for fisheries.The map, evidently made to accompany the report, was made by a practitioner of the Thames School of cartography and bears a striking resemblance to the map in the Library's Blathwayt Atlas (see 8189-7), also assembled for the Lords Commissioners.The manuscript was bought [by Capt. H. J. D. Millar] in 1742 from the estate of Mrs. Catherine Bridgeman in 1742; perhaps inherited by her from William Bridgeman (fl. 1667-1770), an official in the office of the secretary of state.
