Abstract
TOURISTS and sportsmen in Canada ought to be very much obliged to Mr. Roberts for having provided them with this excellent Guide-book. The method he has adopted is that of Baedeker's Hand-books, and the result is in every way worthy of the models he has chosen. The work includes full descriptions of routes, cities, points of interest, summer resorts, fishing places, &c, in Eastern Ontario, the Muskoka district, the St. Lawrence regiori, the Lake St. John country, the maritime provinces, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland. In an appendix are given fish and game laws, and official lists of trout and salmon rivers and their lessees. The author generally compresses his information into as small a space as possible, but in dealing with the more interesting Canadian scenes has sought to make his descriptions lively and attractive. The volume is prettily printed, and is well supplied with maps and illustrations.
The Canadian Guide-book.
By Charles G. D. Roberts. (London: William Heinemann, 1892.)
