Cumberland; cove and point, lot 28. Holland, 1765. The proximity of Richard point would seem to indicate that the names of these features commemorate Richard Cumberland (1732-1811), the dramatist, who was well known to Holland from his position at the Board of Trade as private secretary to Lord Halifax. In the ballot for townships on the island in August, 1767, lot 61 fell to Cumberland. Through the patronage of Halifax he obtained a “small establishment. as crown agent to Nova Scotia.” After 1776 he succeeded John Pownall as secretary of the Board of Trade. On its abolition in 1782 he retired to Tun— bridge Wells. He is buried in Westminster Abbey. Cumberland’s numerous literary productions, says the Encyclopedia Britannica, are stretched over the whole of his life,

ut it is only by his plays, 54 in number, and perhaps by his Memoirs, published 1806-07, that he is likely to be remembered.
