In 'Halifax Warden of the North', the author revises and updates his own earlier account of the city. It is an authoritative book about a city blessed and cursed by her location, a city gravely important to the British, French and Americans, through wars and peace, but one that also holds the world's record for sailors' pleasures. The contents include a preface by the author dated January 1, 1971, 42 chapters, bibliography, and index. A list of illustrations shows 14 plates all present on heavier semi-gloss paper. Map endpapers reveal a two-page spread of "A View of Halifax 1750". Emerald green cloth boards with bright gilt title print to spine. Wrap-around jacket painting of Halifax harbour by John O'Brien, circa 1850, photographed by MacAskill’s Studios.
