Edition Notes
"Published by Authority."--T.p.
"Price One Penny."--T.p.
"The Reader will find in the few pages which are here offered to him nothing more than a plain and truthful statement of the advantages which the important colony of Canada presents to the British emigrant ... The Canadians have gone to a very considerable expense in forwarding to the Great Exhibition a large supply of the Natural and Manufactured Produce of the Colony; and it has been deemed advisable, by those interested in its welfare and future success, to second their efforts by publishing some facts in connection with these productions. The writer begs to acknowledge the assistance he has received from W. E. Logan, Esq., F.G.S., for his valuable remarks on the Minerals of Canada, and from A. Fergusson, Esq., for those on Agriculture ... He has also consulted with advantage Mr. T. C. Keefer's Prize Essay on "The Canals of Canada," and Mr. Warburton's "Hochelaga, or England in the New World" -- the work of an intelligent and observant mind."--P. [2].
