Description du livre Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Lunching one day in Toronto with one of the aldermen of that thriving city (I may aswell frankly state that we had turtle-soup on the occasion), he remarked that he hadbeen in London the previous summer, and that he was perfectly astonished at the ideaEnglishmen seemed to have about Canada. He was particularly indignant at the way inwhich it was coolly assumed that the Canadians were a barbarous people, planted in awilderness, ignorant of civilization, deficient in manners and customs a well-meaningpeople, of whom in the course of ages something might be made, but at present in a verynebulous and unsatisfactory state. It seems my worthy friend had gone to hear apopular Q.C. a gentleman of Liberal proclivities, very anxious to write M. after his namedeliver a lecture to the young men of the Christian Association in Exeter Hall on Canada.Never was a man more mortified in all his life than was the alderman in question. Allthe time the lecture was being delivered, he said, he held down his head in shame. ¿Ifelt,¿ said he, rising to a climax, ¿as if I must squirm!¿ What ¿squirming¿ implies thewriter candidly admits that he has no idea. Of course, it means something very bad. Allhe can say is, that it is his hope and prayer that in the following pages he may set noCanadian squirming. He went out to see the nakedness, or the reverse, of the land, toask the emigrants how they were getting on, to judge for himself whether it was worthany Englishman¿s while to leave home and friends to cross the Atlantic and planthimself on the vast extent of prairie stretching between Winnipeg and the RockyMountains. What he heard and saw is contained in the following pages, originallypublished in the Christian World, and now reproduced as a small contribution to aquestion which rises in importance with the increase of population and the growingdifficulty of getting a living at home. 90 pp. Englisch.
