McGill-Queen's University Press, Montreal & Kingston, (1996), Ist edition. 231 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w photos. "A religious, well-educated Victorian, Eliot Curwen takes us into the heart of the colonial society he encountered. His journal provides insights into a pervasive sectarianism, the tawdry political world of St. John's, the rudimentary conditions aboard the fishing schooners, and the poverty of the Labrador 'livyers', the permanent white settlers who had intermarried with the Inuit. He provides fresh details about the lives of the Moravian Brethren, the first missionaries to the Native population, and comments on the wildlife, the natural environment, and the general disposition of the countryside. Curwen's candid remarks about Grenfell reveal details about the young missionary and social reformer not found elsewhere..." Light edge wear, tiny bump/scuff at bottom edge of front board, light waviness to top/bottom of textblock. Dust jacket has wrinkling and tiny tear at top of spine, light rubbing, irregular thin line indentation on rear panel. VG/VG.
