The last recorded auction record was in 1988. T.P.L. 1997. Lande 763. Sabin 72874. not in Kress. Howes R424. Fleming, Upper Canada Imprints 992. Ragatz, p233. Handler, pp. 91-92.

The remainder of the work relates to Upper Canada, where Rolph finally settled. The author actively encourages the idea of emigration to Upper Canada: "A great part of Upper Canada is delightfully situated for an agricultural country, free from mountains it is nevertheless abundantly watered, and almost surrounded and intersected by navigable rivers and lakes, on which its produce is easily transported to various and extensive markets." In 1832 Thomas Rolph left England for a brief tour of the West Indies and the United States on his way to Upper Canada. He arrived in U.C. in 1833 and settled in Ancaster where he began to practise as a surgeon. Interestingly, in May 1840, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Upper Canada refunded Rolph s membership fee on the grounds that he had "exhibited no qualifications for being elected a member."
