This travel journal of Canada is told from the perspective of the author, who starts his journey from Liverpool. Places he visited include Quebec, Toronto, and Ontario. The author's adoration of Canada is best described in the following passage: “Yet the streets and the cities are not really the things that impress one most in Canada. The amazing things are the forests and the fields, the prairies, and the lakes and the mountains: all the illimitable space and the irrepressible men who are closing it in and giving it names for us to know it by.”
