"Canada and the British immigrant" by Emily P. Weaver is a travelogue by the author to guide any prospective immigrant. The book displays the difficulties, the trials, and the pleasures that await the newcomer to Canada, in the attempt to "make good" under unfamiliar circumstances. The author shares a general idea of the Dominion as a whole, and of each of the provinces a little more in detail, touching on their history only as it seems likely to help the understanding of what they now are, and of the attitude and ideals of the Canadian people. According to Emily, Canada is no "earthly paradise," but only "a good land and a large," where there is scope for many types of human beings to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually, as some of them have no room to do in the crowded centers of population in the Old World.
