Neptune-and his Proceedings and Conduct as Lt. Governor and Commander-in-Chief of His Majesty's Colony of Cape Breton. Bound in with it is the Petition of certain Inhabitants of Cape Breton against the Annexation of that Island to the Province of Nova Scotia, pp. 26. Folio, half calf n. p., n. d. [1796] The former exceptionally rare pamphlet was privately printed and throws much light on the early British History of Cape Breton. Des Barres' surveys, "The Atlantic Neptune," published for the use of the Royal Navy, is an unequalled work of its kind. (See under "Maps and Atlases.")
