Excerpt from For the Million: A Sketch of Canadian Life, With an Appendix on EmigrationIt may be safely asserted that beyond a knowledge of its geographical position, but little, as a rule, is known even among the upper classes of society, who, in common with many of their countrymen occupying less elevated social positions, adopt the popular opinion that Canada is a wi]d country, of tremendous extent, comprising millions of acres of dense impenetrable for ests and boundless prairies, adapted only to the wig wam of the Indian the but of the trapper, and with a climate so severe as to render it unsuited to almost every state of civilized life. On the other hand, there are not a few upon whose minds ideas of doubtful accuracy, have been produced by means of highly colored and exaggerated statements as to the advan tages which Canada offers, without distinction, to all those who come to her shores. That she is neither a waste howling wilderness nor a land ¿owing with milk and honey, will be gathered from the following pages, the object of which is to assist in removing, at least some, of those unjust prejudices and false impres sions which now prevail with respect to one of the most important of all the British dependencies.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
