Reverend Lewis Amadeus Anspach arrived in Newfoundland in 1799 as a magistrate and missionary, and promptly began collecting facts on Newfoundland's circumstances, interests, history, and laws. Anspach maintained a journal containing this information for the 13 years he was on the island, and in 1818 was persuaded to write this book as so little was known about the colony in the rest of the world.

LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE 'An incredible work of scholarship' Sathnam Sanghera Through the story of his own family’s history as slave and plantation owners, Alex Renton looks at how we owe it to the present to understand the legacy of the past. When British Caribbean slavery was abolished across most of the British Empire in 1833, it was not the newly liberated who received compensation, but the tens of thousands of enslavers who were paid millions of pounds in government money. The descendants of some of those slave owners are among the wealthiest and most powerful people in Britain today. Blood Legacy explores what inheritance – political, economic, moral and spiritual – has been passed to the descendants of the slave owners and the descendants of the enslaved. He also asks, crucially, how the former – himself among them – can begin to make reparations for the past.
