From the dustjacket: "The first full account of this remote colony. Part I deals with the history of the Islands from the time when they first appeared uncenrtainly to the early voyagers until 1914, when the Battle of the Falkland Islands brought a sudden recognition of their importance to the Empire. Part II gives an up-to-date account of the Industries - whaling, sealing, sheep and cattle farming; Part III deals with the natural features; Part IV with the Flora and Fauna, which have a special interest because Stanley Harbour is in a latitude roughly corrensponding with that of Cornwall.
