New France
In 1763, France had ceded the rest of New France, except the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, to Great Britain and Spain at the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Seven Years' War (known as the French and Indian War in North America and especially the United States). Britain received Canada, Acadia, and the parts of French Louisiana which lay east of the Mississippi Riverexcept for the Île d'Orléans, which was granted to Spain, along with the territory to the westthe larger portion of Louisiana.
New Worlds (magazine)
The financial support that Maclaren provided meant that once issue 22 appeared in April 1954, it was the start of a regular monthly schedule that lasted until 1964 with just one hiccup: a printing dispute in 1959 delayed the August issue and it was combined with the September issue. Despite this stability, "New Worlds"s circulation began to decline in the early 1960s. Nova Publications had launched a third magazine, "Science Fiction Adventures", in 1958, but both it and "Science Fantasy" were also losing readers, and in May 1963 "Science Fiction Adventures" was cancelled. In September of that year Nova's board decided to close down both "New Worlds" and "Science Fantasy", and in preparation for the change Carnell signed a contract in December 1963 to edit an original anthology series, "New Writings in SF", for publisher Dennis Dobson.
