"These volumes offer to the British public a clear and trustworthy
statement of the affairs of Canada; a narrative of the late troubles,
their causes and consequences; an account of the policy pursued in the
colony, and the effects of the immense public works in progress and
completed; with sketches of localities and scenery, amusing anecdotes of
personal observation, and generally every information which may be of
use to the traveller or settler, and the military and political reader.
The information rendered is to be thoroughly relied on as veracious,
full, and conclusive."--_Messenger._
"This is the best work on Canada for every class of readers--the most
complete, the most important, and the most interesting."--_Sunday
Times._
