Altogether Prince Edward Island is well watered, and this fact, with the na- ture of. the soil, ¢ gives it remarkable fer- tility. In agricultural capacity there is, perhaps, no district of the same extent in Canada that surpasses it. The geological character of the country has been fully des- cribed by Sir William Dawson and Pro- fessor Harrington. ‘The history of the lisland is not without interest to the states- nan and economist—especially that portion of it which deals with the origin, com- plications and solution of the land ques- tion. Whether Cabot discovered it or not, it is certain that Jacques Cartier saw it and

or its discovery, Isie St. Jean. It bore that name for nearly two centuries and three am arters. In 1663, it was granted to a French military officer, Captain Daiblet.
In 1719 it was granted to the Count St. Pierre. Neither of these temporary owners succeeded in colonizing it. In 1755. it fell into the hands of the British, but was re
stored, to revert again and finally to Eng- land in 1758. After being fora while as- sociated in government with Nova Scotia, it became a separate province, and in 1773 its first legislature met. In 1798 its name was changed to that by which it has since been known, in honor of the Duke of Kent
After the cession, in 1763, the island was
markéd off into townships, grants of which were made to individuals, who were obliged to perform certain duties
and especially to settle the coun-
try. But those duties were neglected. The Island was gradually appropriated by non- residents, and the tenants suffered from all sorts of absentee proprietorship. The land question, long a vexed and a vexing one, was finally disposed of by the appointment ofa commission which drew up a scheme for the adjustment of conflicting rights. Hap pily the griev ance no longer exists. The tocal Government bought out the land- lords and made the tenants owners in their stead. At the®close of 1882, of the 142,011 acres remaining unsold of the 843,981 own- ed by the Government, only 75,000 acres were held by parties who had not yet pur- chased, and this acreage hassince been largely reduced.

As al- ready stated, the area is 2,153 square miles. | The population was in 1881 108,981; which’! give a density of 54 per square mile, show. ing Prince Edward Island to be the most thickly populated province of the Dominion. Nova Scotia, which comes next, has only 22 per square mile; Ontario, 17; New Bruns- wick, 12; Quebec, 7: Manitoba, 0.5; British Columbia, 0.14 ; the Territories, 00.2. In salubrity, the Island has nothing to lose in comparison with the most favored portions of Canada.
