Excerpt from Ecclesiastical History of Newfoundland

I at first attempted to bring in a great deal of this, what I may call extrinsic information, by way of appendix or notes; but I soon found that the notes would exceed the body of the work. This I knew would be a defiance of all just rules of proportion, so I was obliged to invent some means of incorporating it into the book. That I have not always succeeded in making smooth work I am fully con scious, and can only throw myself on the mercy of the indulgent reader.

Another very great difficulty which confronted me was, that my material naturally divided itself into two classes, of so totally different a character that I at first thought it would be better to make two distinct books. The first class of items contained those concerning the general early history of America, quorum magna pars full Newfoundland, and on which I felt sure I had some facts, theories, docu ments, maps, etc., never yet published, which would be interesting to the general reader, not only in Newfound land, but in America and Europe.
