The MARITIME PROVINCES ? Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island

In 1840 an American clergyman named Robert Lowell described Newfoundland as "a
monstrous mass of rock and gravel, almost without soil, like a strange thing
from the bottom of the deep, lifted up, suddenly, into sunshine and storm",
an apt evocation of this fearsome island, which is still referred to ? by Newfoundlanders
and mainlanders alike ? as "The Rock". More
