Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm-Cottage, Camp and Canoe in Maritime Canada: Or the Call of Nova Scotia to the Emigrant and Sportsman R silver has asked me to write a few words as an Intro duction to his book. Everything has its raison d etre, and it is not difficult, after reading the present volume, to see in what direction Mr Silver's enthusiasm runs. Nova Scotia is a country with varied resources in its farms and orchards, its mines, fisheries and forests. A man with a little money, some business aptitude, and a capacity for work will find opportunities for his energies, in one direction or another, in almost any part of the Province, and social conditions which will appeal to him. On the other hand, a man with a settled income, and a partiality for sport, will soon realize that Nova Scotia is an ideal place of residence for one who is fond of the rod and gun. To the latter class especially Mr Silver's work will affe much pleasure. The admirers of Nova Scotia and its many attractions will welcome the book; and it will be exceptionally valuable to those who wish to learn something of a portion of the Dominion which is not as well known as it ought to be. In explanation of the lack of knowledge that prevails of this nearest portion of our Colonial Empire, it may be stated that the Province is a little out of the beaten track of summer travel, and that in winter - time the num ber of visitors and tourists in Canada is not large. Perhaps to the Army and the Navy the country is more familiar than to any other class, as Halifax has always been a favourite station for our soldiers and sailors. Now, however, the red-coat and the blue-jacket from the Old Land are not seen there as often as was once the case; and there are those who regret the policy which, rightly or wrongly, has led to the absence of these two emblems of Imperial Unity.
