Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Comparative Advantages Between the United States and Canada: For British Settlers, Considered in a Letter, Addressed to Captain Allardyce Barclay, of Ury
Amongst the specimens of fine farms to be seen in this fertile and flourishing district, I may mention that of Mr. Burnham, near Cobourg, whose house and grounds are thoroughly English in their appearance, and present a cultivation, neatness, and finish, that should satisfy the most fastidious taste. Here, again, instead of a small patch, is a fine farm of 600 acres of well-cleared land. In the township of Wool wich, I think, you would also have met with nume rous farms, of a very different character from what you have described.
