Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five Years Residence in the Canadas, Vol. 1 of 2: Including a Tour Through Part of the United States of America, in the Year 1823 There have, I am aware, been several works recently pub lished, which give some account of Upper Canada but they have been written by Tourists, who have passed hastily through the country, and who have, in common with all rapid travellers, gleaned in their flight a few fragments of information, which, though sometimes correct, are much more frequently manifestly erroneous. Captain Stuart, the only resident writer, in his Emi grant's Guide to Upper Canada, - a work which might be much more appropriately entitled the Pilgrim's Guide to the Celestial Regions, -has given some honest and valuable information respect ing the country; but it contains such a confused medley of pole mical theology, whining cant, and complimentary bombast, that it would require as much patience to travel through his due decimo volume, as to make a pedestrian tour through the Whole of the Upper Province.
