Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Far West and the Old Far East: Being Notes of a Tour in North America, Japan, China, Ceylon, Etc Those uninterested in emigration or farming in Canada are recommended to skip chapters VII., VIII. And IX. Altogether. After leaving Canada and the United States, I re turned home via Japan, China, Ceylon, and Egypt - all new countries to me, my experiences in those regions being described in the portion of the volume entitled Tile 01d Far East. I cannot flatter myself that all parts of this volume will be of equal interest to every reader, but the chapters referring to the agricultural lands of Canada may be useful to intending emigrants, and the others are the result of my personal observations, which though cut short and rendered meagre in parts by a severe illness, still I trust may interest those who have not yet visited those far distant lands.
