Hardcover. Condition: Good. Second Edition. An early edition by an early Canadian author. This edition is important because it is the first bound with "An Account of the Country of the Oregon", an anonymous description of the Pacific northwest, probably by an employee of the Hudson (Charles G. Nicolay). The publisher apparently assumed that Ontario and Oregon were close and of equal interest to readers. Traill was an established author before she moved with her Scottish husband to Ontario in 1832. This book is an important source for information about early settlements and for relations between Canadians, Americans and natives. Traill's work includes 20 illustrations, including waterfalls, birds, animals, farming scenes and "A chart showing Interior Navigation of the Districts of Newcastle and Upper Canada". There is also a frontis of "Peter, the Chief". The Oregon work includes a frontis map of Oregon, including both the Fraser and Columbia River Valleys (Oregon territory was not divided between the US and Britain until this year - 1846). Description: gently ex libris (small ownership stamp on title page of "The People's Library Newport, R.I.", probably nineteenth century. Original marbled boards (worn) with ugly black tape over spine. Leather corners worn and showing boards. Original marbled endpapers, but the front free end paper is missing. All edges originally marbled to match the end papers; now very faded. There are two paginations for the two works: Traill's book on Ontario: viii, 351 pp. The Oregon title is 78 p. plus the map frontis.

Some mild soiling to the cloth, else a very good, clean, bright copy.The letters describe her month-long voyage to Canada with her husband, and their travels to the "interior" to settle near Peterborough, where Traill lived for over 60 years. (Watters p.352) "The letters, particularly vivid in natural description, give us both a portrait of a persevering, buoyant and resourceful woman adapting to a new life and place, and an encyclopedic cataloguing of the details of her new surroundings. Whether describing Natives, Americans, wildlife, natural scenery, illnesses or Canadian customs, or providing recipes for soft soap, candles, vinegar or pickles, Traill's letters brim with vigour and with her evident pleasure at discovering the nature of her adopted homeland." - The Canadian Encyclopedia [online].
