Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. liii+520+[xxiv members list] pages with tables, appendices and index. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 3/4") bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering and insignia to spine. Publications of the Champlain Society L. First edition limited to 1400 copies of which this is number 1106. Colonel Simeon Perkins was a Nova Scotia militia leader, merchant, diarist and politician. Perkins led the defence of Liverpool from attacks during the American Revolution, French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. In the 1770s, Liverpool was the second-largest settlement in Nova Scotia, next to Halifax. He also funded privateer ships in defence of the colony. He wrote a diary for 46 years (1766 1812), which is an essential historic document of this time period in Nova Scotian history. His diary, which he began in 1766, remains a vital source for historians studying the society and economy of colonial Canada and notably the battle for identity and loyalty during the American Revolution. Perkins was at first neutral, but became increasingly loyal to the British cause. After relentless American privateer attacks on shipping and an attempted American looting of Liverpool itself, Perkins helped lead the defences of the town and outfitted several privateer ships against the Americans. One of his diary entries, for October 12, 1796 allegedly contains the first report of a UFO sighting in modern North America. Perkins reports the tale circulating at the time of a young lady and two men living at New Minas, Nova Scotia on upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy, who, during a recent sunrise, saw as many as fifteen ships in the air . and a man forward with his hand stretched out. Perkins continues, "the story did not obtain universal credit but some people believed it." The original copies of Perkins diaries were donated to the Town of Liverpool in 1899 and are now held by the Queens County Museum in Liverpool. The diary was published in five volumes by the Champlain Society between 1948 and 1967. Condition: Unread with pages still needing to be separated. Corners and spine ends lightly rubbed, some light spotting and soiling to covers else better than very good.

Hard Cover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. Limited Edition. liii, 520 pp, large 8vo (9 3/4" H) - bright red cloth with gold lettering, emblem on spine. Top edge gilt. Limited edition of 1400 copies, this copy unnumbered. "This is the fifth volume of the diary of Simeon Perkins. It begins on January 1, 1804, and ends on April 13, 1812. Unfortunately, however, the diary for March 5, 1806 to November 30, 1809, has been lost." "Simeon Perkins the diarist, was the patriarch of Liverpool, Nova Scotia, during this period of his life. Although he reduced his responsibilities in some measure with advancing years, he was still active in business and prominent in public affairs until a short time before his death. Throughout the whole period he was Justice of the Peace, Proprietors' Clerk, and Town Clerk of Liverpool. For part of it he was also County Treasurer, Custos Rotulorum, First Justice of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas of Queens County, Judge of Probate, and Colonel Commandant of the Militia of Queens County. In those offices, as an appointee of the township or the county or the provincial government at Halifax, Perkins rendered meritorious service, often to the detriment of his own private interests." Majority of pages are unopened at fore-edge, light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine, line scuff across bottom of textblock, light soiling line across fore-edge of textblock.
