| Summary | "Saint-Pierre & Miquelon" by comte de Premio-Real is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book centers on the small archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, which is the last remnant of France's once vast empire in North America. The author, who served as Consul General of Spain, presents a detailed exploration of the islands' geography, history, culture, and the significance of the fishing industry, particularly the cod fisheries, to the French economy. In this work, the comte de Premio-Real reflects on the rich history and the strategic importance of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, noting how they have been pivotal for French fishermen and trade. He illustrates the daily lives of the hardy fishermen who inhabit the islands, the natural resources available, and the deep-rooted ties these islands have to French maritime traditions. The text also discusses the legal rights of France to fish in the surrounding waters, addressing historical treaties that have established these rights. Through a combination of lyrical prose and factual detail, the book serves as both an ode to the islands and a documentation of their historical and economic relevance.
