The Salmon Rivers of Newfoundland is a book of an unusual type, and all Salmon fishers in our oldest Colony, and more especially those who come here for sport, will be glad to gratefully acknowledge their indebtedness to Mr. C.H. Palmer for his excellent production. Not only is the author an enthusiastic salmon fisher of many years’ experience, but he has had exceptional opportunities of visiting most of the important rivers and there studying local conditions. He has thus acquired a unique knowledge of the habits and peculiarities of the salmon in various parts of the country. Not only so, but he has gone to the trouble of making a sketch of 80 odd rivers and shown on each the salmon pools. The book contains many fascinating illustrations of little known beauty spots. The above information and much more is clearly tabulated, including the time of the year when the water is likely to be in the best condition for sport. These particulars have taken years to collect, and many having obtained them would have hesitated to share the knowledge with others. Not so Mr. Palmer, who is one of Nature’s sportsmen.
     I have had many a good day’s sport and am confident that anyone who comes to Newfoundland, as a result of reading this book, will never regret his decision.

Sir William Lamond Allardyce, G.C.M.G., Governor of Newfoundland 14^th April, 1927
