Lorenzo Sabine Libri

This book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. We have represented this book in the same form as it was first published. Hence any marks seen are left intentionally to preserve its true nature.

Sabine's work remains to this day the standard biographical dictionary of the Loyalists. There are three quite distinct parts to the book: a balanced historical essay of some 150 pages; biographical sketches, alphabetically arranged, comprising the vast bulk of the work; and some 120 pages of "Fragments"--brief notices of approximately 1,500 Loyalists not covered in the biographies. The biographical sketches comprise notices of several thousand individuals and contain references to dates and places of birth and death, residence, occupation, military service, wives, children and other family members, an indication as to whether the subject was banished or proscribed, or had land confiscated, and miscellaneous references to incidents and events of biographical significance.

Published in 1874, this is a collection of two important reports on cod and whale fishing in colonial America. The first is a report by Thomas Jefferson, then Secretary of State, on the state of the industry and its potential for growth. The second is a report by Lorenzo Sabine on the colonial fisheries more broadly, including a detailed analysis of the principal fishing regions and their economic significance. These reports provide valuable insight into the early years of the American fishing industry, making it an essential resource for economic historians and fishing enthusiasts.
