PREFACE.
Having had occasion to pass thro' the principal of these
Townships, to offer my worklately published in Montreal en-
titled « a Consideration of the past, present and future con-
dition of the Canadas," and having thereby had opportunity
ofconversing with a number of the Inhabitants of the Town-
xuipo, «n,T hPin? also much delighted with the appearance of
this interestingyoung Country I now, at the request of some

of their Inhabitants, present to the Public,a concise narrative of
my Journey, and have been chiefly led so to do, as it will afford
the means ofofferingsome reflections on subjects of importance
and iome ideas which may perhaps tend to advance the
Agriculture Commerce, and publicimprovements of this beau-

twosolid foundations for securingthe grov.th and nouiishmcnt of
that zeal and emulation in the practice of agricultural improve-
ments and discovery, which have seldom failed to increase the
wealth and prosperityofcountries.
But as my Time did not allow me to acquire sufficient infor-
mation to form acomplete statistical account of the products i ;
i i
and exports of each Township, which will indeed be more
interesting in the course of some years than at present the
\
reader ofthis Essay will not look for such statistical account
in it, but may consider it chiefly, as a namtive ofthe author's
Tour, written in orderto call the attention of the Public to a
part ofthis Province which, (if its Inhabitants preserve their
loyalty and attachment to the British GoTcrnroent and Coni-
