Most have not been listed before in any bibliography or catalogue. They represent the holdings of more than thirty libraries and archives in the four Atlantic provinces, and in Ontario, Quebec, the United States, and England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach entry follows the principles of descriptive bibliography and includes full collation, contents, record of paper, type, and binding, analysis of issue and state, and location of every copy examined. Historical notes deal with authorship, printing, publishing, distribution and sales, and with the content of important works and the relationship between items. Arrangement is by province, then by year of publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe material catalogued encompasses a wide range of subjects. God and government are two of the most common, but there are many others: education, municipal organization, history, elections, transportation, agriculture, legal trials, and a number of societies—benevolent, national, religious, and masonic. There are also many almanacs, including one in German, several satires and addresses in verse, and a French \u003cem\u003eabécédaire\u003c\/em\u003e. Not surprisingly in a nineteenth-century Maritime bibliography, signal books and decisions about piracy abound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix indexes provide access by author, title, genre, trades, place of publication, and language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatricia Fleming’s work continues Marie Tremaine’s \u003cem\u003eA Bibliography of Canadian Imprints, 1751–1800\u003c\/em\u003e and supplements that work with new and previously unlocated imprints.
