Treaty transfer of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia lands
A convoluted treaty text outlines cession of Newfoundland and nearby islands to Great Britain, limits on French fortifications, and fishing rights, plus later articles granting religious settlement principles and territorial boundaries including Port Royal and Cape Breton. It details ratifications, boundaries with Nova Scotia, and incentives for compliance, with notices of related stock prices and local notices.
