PREFACE.

{6% preparation of the present Historical Sketch is in-

tended to supply to some extent omissions of former narratives and exhibit in a form of easy reference the develop- ment and progress of the country by a record of the principal events as they occurred during the past period of the Island’s History. Great care has been taken to render the work accurate in its details, and interesting to its readers. Believing that it will be found so, it is therefore respectfully submitted to the inhabitants of Prince Edward Island for their kind

consideration. JAMES B. POLLARD.
