2 Volumes in 1. pp. viii, [v]-xvi, [iii]-v, 293, [1]; 258. 6 plates (incl. 2 tinted lithographed frontis.). original blind & gilt-stamped cloth, rebacked (corners bumped, some foxing to plates). Second Edition. From 1835 to 1837, the author, a British army officer of the 43rd Regiment, was stationed in St. John, New Brunswick. Struck by the great prosperity of the province and the lack of promotion of the many advantages awaiting the prospective settler, Levinge undertakes to remedy the situation in the first volume of this work. He offers hints to the emigrant, information regarding wages and costs of provisions, clothing, livestock, farming implements, agricultural produce, and reports on trade and the proposed railway. Levinge was also a great sporting enthusiast, and he provides some interesting anecdotes of his hunting and fishing excursions in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Upper Canada. Volume II relates a trip to the United States and his impressions of the social and political situation in Upper and Lower Canada, where he was posted during the Rebellion of 1837-38, and Lord Durham's administration. There is no title-page to Volume II presumably it was removed when the two volumes were united in this single volume edition; contents leaves for both volumes are bound at the beginning.
