Sinopsis
Excerpt from Canadas as They Now Are: Comprehending a View of Their Climate, Rivers, Lakes, Canal, Government, Laws, Taxes, Towns, Trade, &C
It would be quite superfluous to reiterate arguments to an Amer1can, in proof of the ad vantages of being seated on or near a navigable water; nor should it be further noticed here, but that some persons, from interested motives, have contended that the small settler is not so much interested in this question, because he can find a purchaser in the nearest storekeeper. It is true that he may find it his best interest to dispose of his crop to hlm; but as the latter pur chases with the sole intent of sending it to the great ports, the cost of transport, be it more or less, must be paid out of the produce, and nothing else. To this consideration is to be superadded, that the cost of every article consumed on the farm must be enhanced from the same cause.
It is also true that land near the great lakes and rivers is not to be obtained except at a high price, compared with the inland tracts, (what need of greater proof of the value of water-com munication and that fine land on Lake Huron or Lake Erie may be had at a much less price than land near Lake Ontario; but the real value of each is pretty accurately measured. The small expense of reaching a market com pensates for an increased outlay in the land.

Excerpt from Canadas as They Now Are: Comprehending a View of Their Climate, Rivers, Lakes, Canal, Government, Laws, Taxes, Towns, Trade, &C
It is, perhaps, incumbent on the Author or Compiler of a book on a subject already before the public in different shapes, to give some reasons why he presumes to add to the number, and, by a sort of tacit compact between the parties, it is generally expected.
In compliance with such reasonable expectation, the Compiler of the following sheets will, without further circumlocution, proceed to set forth some of the reasons he has to offer in his excuse.
In the first place, Colonel Bouchett's work on Canada is too expensive to come within the reach of the great mass of emigrants.
In the next, of the small books that have professed to give an account of the provinces of Canada, some are occupied with matter only partially interesting, and relating to some particular section of the country. Others are calculated rather to amuse, by their lively descriptions of some of the occurrences of a settler's life, than to afford solid and comprehensive information.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a view of Canada in the early 19th century, with the aim of informing people in Britain who were considering the move to Canada. The author was motivated to write by his belief that many of the books available at the time were misleading and aimed at boosting sales of land by painting an unrealistically positive picture of life in Canada. The book includes descriptions of multiple townships, the land they contain, the produce that can be grown there, and the ease of access to markets for that produce. A significant focus is given to the quality of water communication routes, which the author demonstrates were vital to the movement of people and goods. The author includes some discussion of the political and social situation in Canada, particularly the tension between the french and English. There's also information on the weather, the availability of goods, and the currency used in Canada. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Canada or immigration in the early 19th century and is a fascinating account of life on the frontier. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331960805_0
