Book Description

Excerpt from Travels Through Canada, and the United States of North America, in the Years 1806, 1807,& 1808, Vol. 1 of 2: To Which Are Added, Biographical Notices and Anecdotes of Some of the Leading Characters in the United States The obstacles which for nearly three years have retarded the publication of a second edition of these Travels being now removed, the work is again presented to the public with such emendations and improvements as opportunity and further information have rendered available. Its publication also at this particular moment will no doubt prove acceptable, as it affords a more recent account of those parts of North America which have lately been, or are likely to become, the seat of war, than any other work of the kind. It will enable the British reader to form a just opinion of the Canadian colonies, and to appreciate the character of the neighbouring enemies who threaten their existence.
