Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Concise Account of North America: Containing a Description of the Several British Colonies on That Continent, Including the Islands of Newfoundland, Cape Breton, &C The only thing I mean to attempt with regard to this is, to collect such fads and circumstances, as, in a political and commercial view, appear to me to be most interesting; to reduce them to an easy and familiar method, and contrast them within such narrow limits, that the whole may be seen as it were at once, and every thing material be collected from a few pages, concerning seventeen Provinces; a minute and circumstantial account of which would fill so many considerable volumes. In doing this, where my own knowledge (acquired by travelling several times thro´ most of them) did not serve me, I have endeavoured to make use of the most authentic materials, collected from others, and to set every fad: and circumstance in a true and impartial light, without favour or prejudice to any particular part or party. But the principal object I have had in views and what I look upon to be the most interesting and deserving part of this work, is the account I have given of the interior parts of North America, which though concise, and vastly short of what I should be glad to exhibit, I flatter myself is as full and perfect as any at present to be come at.
