321 L Evans The fact is that the inhabitants of upper Canada are not yet a people. They are Englishmen, Scotchmen, or Tribemen, just as if they were still in the old country; & what wd not have suited them there, they think will not suit knew where they are. Unlike their unclear bows, they are not possessed with the idea, that if they will only give themselves the trouble to attempt it, they can make anything bear its proper fruit. The American is the hardest worker in the world, never sharing himself, but always toiling on, in the faith that he will soon be able to bring all things right; & he generally succeeds in doing so. There are not yet the characteristics of the inhabitants of upper Canada. In Canada there is the stage & there are the material for a great nation. Its towns are none solidly built than there of all same size in the States; possibly on account of the greater severity of the climate. The country is generally fertile. It is also very varied, full of lakes, & streams, & forests. It abounds in mineral wealth & in agricultural produce. Not withstanding its sever unkind winter, it is capable of replenishing maize, & maturing tobacco; and even, to speak of the all things, through the medium of its peas, a crop which can rarely be grown partially? to the south of the Lakes, it supplies no inconsiderable part of what is used for coffee unclear its neighbours. That product, however, of Canada, which most attains the attention of the traveller, & is likely to make the strongest impression upon him, is the complexion of the Canadian Ladies. It gives you more of the idea of transparency, otherwise you might have thought that it was of pearl.
