¾

    The foregoing will serve as a specimen of the simple
entry of arrivals in the Province, made it is believed at the instance

    (e)This word is not used here in the sense sometimes attached to it,
but in its simple and original meaning; that of bringing or carrying over
or across from one place to another.

    (f)It would for obvious reasons be invidious and unpleasant to give
the names at large of persons who came into the Province in servile or
dependent stations
¾but as some notice of those persons was necessary
in order to shew the entries in their real form, 1 have done it by
initials.

    (g)This quaint distinction is noticed only to shew what matters were
thought fit to be stated on record. The reader will have observed that
the Conditions of Plantation speak of persons of British or Irish descent,
Natives of Scotland were included under the first of these terms as the
Union had taken place in the preceeding reign; but although those of
Wales were British by a more ancient title, I find an emigrant
distinguished by the appellation of John the Welchman.
