Description
Advertisement describes Pictou as one of the best locations on the East coast, full with trees (birch, maple, elm, ash...), fish (cod, salmon, whale), and has very rich soil, perfect for farms.
Settlers were to be Protestant families, pay five pounds sterling per 100 acres of land (to be paid within two years), and then another annual quit-rent of one half-penny sterling per acre.
