Pictures of Canadian Life, by J. Ewing Ritchie 38858 [Subtitle: A Record of Actual Experiences] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/3/8/8/5/38858 ] [Files: 38858-0.txt; 38858-h.htm] For those wishing to know: James Ewing Ritchie was invited to accompany emigrants from England to Canada in order to write about how much better their life was there than in England (it was a scheme to try and improve the condition of the poor English working classes). The book is an account of his experiences, and he offers advice to those thinking of moving to Canada - now a bit out of date of course! All the best, David England, cold and grey skies
