To deal with the city from the standpoint of history, and to do even scant justice to its record in trade. In commerce. Or to adequately describe all that is of interest within and around its gates, would be a task far beyond the scope of this work. The most that can be undertaken is to use careful judgment in selecting from such a wealth of material enough to give a stranger a good general idea of what Halifax is like. When this is done, those who read will want to come and see more, while those who depart will want to carry with them a book which is a pleasant reminder of what they have seen and enjoyed.
