His work therefore stands in contrast to the tendency of later Canadian writers, who focus inward on the nation, and on issues of Canadian identity. His work as a surveyor allowed him to travel across the country, obser…

In English, this work has reached the public in pieces, often as a part of pamphlets with limited circulation. This edition, which includes an introduct…
