with Fort Oswegatche, Carleton Island, Oswego, and Niagara, evince,
perhaps, more forcibly than ever, the propriety of retaining these
barriers in our possession, which, in the former part of this work, I
have fully explained; and as the third Township alone (which is nine
miles square) contained, in the year 1787, about seventeen hundred
inhabitants, it is difficult to say what number of valuable subjects
that country may hereafter produce; certain it is, that it is capable of
supporting multitudes, as the land is in general fertile, and on an
average produces about thirty bushels of wheat per acre, even in the
imperfect manner in which it is cleared, leaving all the stumps about
three feet high, and from five to ten trees on an acre. This mode of
clearing is in fact absolutely necessary, because new cultivated lands
in hot climates require shelter, to prevent the scorching heat of the
sun, which, in its full power, would burn up the seed. It has also been
found expedient in stony ground to let the stones remain, as they retain
a moisture favorable to vegetation.
In the month of May I left the new settlements, and went down to
Montreal, and from thence to Quebec, where I waited on Lord Dorchester,
but could not gain admittance. I was afterwards informed {181} that his
lordship was indisposed. I then went to Lieut General Hope’s, but he had
embarked for England.
So many mortifying disappointments affected me very sensibly, but as
discouragements generally encreased my exertions, I was more assiduous
in my endeavours to live, and whilst I was contriving schemes for future
support, I received a supply from a friend: so seasonable a relief
braced up all my nerves, and I felt a pleasure that can scarce be
conceived by any but such as have experienced hardships and difficulties
similar to mine.
My heart being cheered, and every gloomy thought dispersed, I determined
to leave the country whilst I had money in my pocket. Having found
another friend to sign a pass, I went on board a ship then lying in the
River St. Laurence, on the 25th of October, and arrived in London the
beginning of December following, rejoiced at again setting foot on my
native shore.
Having finished the historical part of my work, I have only to solicit
the candid indulgence of the public for any literary errors I may have
been guilty of; and with great respect to convey to them an humble hope
that the Voyages and Travels, together with the Vocabulary subjoined,
may not be found totally unworthy their attention.
