...investigations were carried out on the East coast of North America by three parties. The most northerly site explored is Cambridge, an amorphous section of the large city of Greater Dublin; Newhaven lies some distance to the South in a slightly less intolerable climate, while the small settlement of Princeton, (which at first seemed to provide the most promising material but subsequently proved of little interest), is the most southerly point reached by the expedition.
