| Summary | "History of the Government of the Island of Newfoundland" by John Reeves is a historical account written in the late 18th century. The book explores the development and complexities of governance in Newfoundland, highlighting the conflicts between local planters and merchants concerning resource management and authority. It promises a detailed examination of legal charters, regulations, and the evolving political landscape of the time. At the start of the book, the author reflects on his recent experiences in Newfoundland, inspiring his research into the island's governance history. This research reveals the intricate interplay of interests between the settled planters seeking protection and order, and the transient merchants aiming to maintain their profitable fishing operations without governance interference. Reeves outlines the significant legislative acts and historical events that shaped Newfoundland's governance, setting the stage for a narrative that will delve into specific struggles and resolutions faced by its early inhabitants.
