Comments
A very uncommon Canadian imprint. Watson was the regular Canadian publisher, and this edition bears his imprint at the base of the spine; we can find no trace in library holdings of another copy of this New Glasgow imprint. Stellarton is a small town adjacent to new Glasgow, hence the inscription.
