Canada: Physical, Economic, and Social (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Canada: Physical, Economic, and Social
In forwarding the Essay to Quebec, I mentioned that I had some fear, being uncertain as to the wishes of the Executive Committee on the point, that I might have gone somewhat too largely into the subject of Geology in connec tion with the Local Descriptions; adding, that the matter in question was easily separable, and that had time permitted it had been my intention to inclose in brackets certain por tions which might, if thought well, be omitted. Unwilling to tax too much the patience of the general reader with what is technical, I have excluded a few of' the passages referred to. Should any be of opinion that too much of this description is still retained, I beg to remind them that the Geological character of the country is one of the elements which Specially contribute to make it such a comfortable home, and such an advantageous field of enterprise for its inhabitants, and to call attention to the fact that the regions most largely dwelt on - those, to wit, of Lakes Superior and Huron - may be said almost to form countries of themselves, and are besides comparatively little known.
