sixteenth century up to the middle of the twentieth
century. Included is a map keyed to the study area, a
glossary of foreign terms, a history of the mapping of
Newfoundland names, an analytical survey of the place
names of the Northern Peninsula, a gazetteer, which
present historical, interpretive, and linguistic notes, a list of the maps
consulted, and a bibliography of the writings of E.R. Seary.
