of arms, and surrounding the whole the words, the Seal of the Province of New Brunswick, (or which ever it was). Thus the seals of the provinces are alike except for the coat of arms and the province name. This seal for New Brunswick is that now in use, and a crude cut of it, made from a tracing of a photograph about the true size, here follows:
It has no reverse side and in use is stamped upon a very thin wafer of sealing-wax faced by paper, and is attached directly to the document. The recent impressions I have seen are unfortunately very dim, to such a degree indeed as to make it difficult to distinguish the design. Presumably this is because the die is much worn, in which case a new one should be obtained; for the Province Seal should be clean-cut, like the character of the people who possess it.
