Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Frontenac, Lennox and Addington: An Essay, to Which Was Awarded a Prize of �100
The object of the following Essay is to bring more prominently before the public than has yet been done, the features and resources of the United Counties of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington. In the popular tide of Emigra tion westward to localities where lands are supposed to be cheaper and more fertile, the value and resources of these Counties have, in a measure been overlooked, and their real features from causes which may be suggested and briefly glanced at in the following pages, have been mis represented and misunderstood.
To remove such misunderstanding, and to present to the reader in a concise and available shape, a sketch of the capabilities of this portion of the Province, together with an account of what it has already done, and an estimate of what it may fairly be expected to do, in the general march of improvement so rapidly developing the almost exhaust less resources of Canada at large, has naturally been deemed an object of importance to all interested in any manner in the locality. With such an object in view, a few public spirited men took the necessary steps to procure Essays on the subject, from those whom leisure, inclination or hope of success in attaining the proffered prize, might induce to write.
