5000 Facts About Newfoundland 1921-22 By H M Mosdell

What it is

  • Full title: 5,000 Facts About Newfoundland by Harris Munden Mosdell. 

  • Author: Harris M. Mosdell (1883‑1944), a journalist, physician, and political figure in Newfoundland. 

  • Date: Published 1922 (some editions say 1921‑22). 

  • Format / Size: ~ 54 pages in one listing (for the 1922 edition). 

What it Contains / Themes

According to descriptions:

  • It’s a compilation of facts about all aspects of Newfoundland: historical, political, religious, agricultural, geographical, cultural. 

  • It includes government revenues, expenditures, and projections for future years (for example, for 1921‑22, 1922‑23). 

  • Also includes advertisements and public notices. 

  • It’s arranged as a collection of many small facts, often concise items rather than long narratives. The facts are sorted by topic / category alphabetically in many cases. 

Significance

  • The book is useful as a snapshot of Newfoundland at the early 1920s, showing what items were considered important enough to be collated as “facts” — reflecting what was known, valued, or reported at the time.

  • It’s helpful for historical researchers looking for statistical data or smaller local facts (population, fiscal figures, social, religious institutions, agriculture, etc.) from that era.

  • As the author was a journalist and politician, the compilation may also reflect political / social perspectives or priorities of the era.
