Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Canadian Canals: Their History and Cost, With an Inquiry Into the Policy Necessary to Advance the Well-Being of the Province The various unconnected efforts, which in different localities, are directed to Canal projects, and the attention which Canadian affairs are now receiving in England, justify the hope that this volume may be regarded as not entirely ill-timed ;more especially as it sets forth a policy in respect to the inland navigation, which has in view the advancement of no particular district, but is calculated favorably to affect the whole Province. The advocacy of the policy enunciated has been kept as distinct as possible from questions with which it has no connection. It has been limited to an examination of the anticipated financial and political results, conjointly with an inquiry into the schemes of a different character, which have been brought forward by individual or municipal effort. No allusion is made to existing political parties, and little is said regarding the proposed Confederation, for both are without bearing on the subject. Whatever be our form of government, the Provincial requirements are the same; and one of the first duties of the Executive, whatsoever opinions it may represent, is the development of our material prosperity by the means at its command. It may be claimed with regard to the following pages that no effort has been spared to obtain reliable information; where there is a failure in this respect, it may fairly be said that it is not attributable to indifference or want of attention. Still, in bringing together many figures and facts from various sources, avoidance of error is difficult, even when the greatest care is taken to obtain correctness.
