Summary:

Prowse's aim in compiling this guide was to inform the general public on both sides of the Atlantic about the progress Newfoundland had made, and would continue to make in the seven years since the railway was completed and steamship service to Cape Breton began. To ensure success, Prowse enlisted "world-renowned writers and explorers" (p.3) to write about what the island had to offer tourists, sportsmen, and investors
