Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A View of Sir Charles Metcalfe´s Government of Canada The present existence in regard to Canada of the indifference with which Colonial affairs are usually regarded, has discouraged me from publishing these remarks on Sir Charles Metcalfe´s Government. But, on the other hand, I believe that an extraordinary and very admirable man is greatly wronged by misconceptions of his conduct and policy which I can help to remove. I am persuaded also, that unless the misrepresentations on which these errors of opinion are founded, be corrected without delay, the peace of Canada, which involves the interests and honour of the empire, will erelong be seriously disturbed. If the peace of Canada should be disturbed, the state of the Colony would obtain plenty of notice by means of furnishing parties at home with weapons of attack upon each other: I am in hopes of being able to draw some attention to the subject while party spirit is asleep with regard to it, so that a removal of the false impressions which prevail may take place in time to be of service. Such are the considerations, outweighing a consciousness of the unpopularity of the topic, which induce me to send these pages to the press. In speaking, however, of opinions from which I differ, as misconceptions or errors, I only mean to say that the impressions made on my own mind by personal observation on the spot, differ so materially from general opinion on the subject, that the latter necessarily appears to me erroneous.
