descriptive, geocrraphical,. and political, tope
been discussed by 6 such hosts of writers, itrt:to
would scarcely suppose it possible to inlinbard
them the slightest attraction. Yet 'Sir n't/„.-1. the
Bonnycastle, to whom we are indebted qriyea

to do so; but this, principally, by his, far es

of praise for the tolerant and dispassionate /the
that pervades his work. His opinions °` or
prospects of the Canadas are on the i'vh°le'llp°
couraging, and he assuresus that " thosl-r pro'
have not had the advantage of viewing t.llec pit'
gress, can scarcely credit the extent W
of eir_ the

capital of Upper Canada, he says, " °n/3rstilP6
