Newfoundland in 1842 – Vol I & II

By Richard Henry Bonnycastle

Newfoundland in 1842 by Richard Henry Bonnycastle, published in two volumes, offers a detailed and insightful account of Newfoundland during the early 19th century. Bonnycastle, a British military officer and geographer, traveled extensively across the island and produced this work as a comprehensive look at Newfoundland’s geography, economy, society, and politics in 1842. The two volumes provide a thorough examination of the island's infrastructure, natural resources, and growing industries, particularly the vital fishing industry that defined much of Newfoundland’s economy at the time.

In his work, Bonnycastle not only delves into the everyday lives of the people but also offers critical observations on the island’s governance, including the role of the British colonial administration, the influence of the Church, and the relationships between settlers, Indigenous populations, and the local economy. His detailed descriptions of Newfoundland's towns, landscapes, and the challenges of living in such a remote and harsh environment give readers a vivid picture of life during this period.

Newfoundland in 1842 remains an essential resource for those interested in early Canadian history, colonialism, and the economic and social foundations of Newfoundland. Bonnycastle’s observations provide valuable context for understanding the island’s development and its eventual path toward confederation with Canada. This work is a key text for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in Newfoundland’s rich history during a formative period.
