Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Emigrant´s Guide, or Sketches of Canada: With Some of the Northern and Western States of America After an absence of thirty-six years - nineteen in the east end of Upper Canada, and seventeen on the shores of Lake Huron, Western end of said province - I have made a visit to fatherland. In view of the great deception imposed upon emigrants and the British public by mere strangers and self-interested railway passengers, that know very little more of the real state of the country than a balloon passenger, praising or railing, as will serve the interests of the landholder of England or landseller of Canada, I thought it a needful and most useful service to my countrymen to lay before them a plain, practical matter-of-fact statement, on which they might safely rely in deciding a question on which the. good of millions so much depends. There is no land speculator under heaven that knows just now of my writing, neither have I an acre of land to sell, nor any selfish end to serve by coloured or false statements; and as I intend to return to my charge in a few months, my own character is fully at stake by my people - very good judges of all I relate -especially the emigrant´s trials and prospects, with all that concerns bush life, having been emigrants themselves. I have not been locked up in an office, store, or cloister. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
