Neat repairs to joints<br/> <br/> First edition of the travel narrative that influenced a generation of British emigrants to the Canadian provinces.<br/> <br/> Isaac Weld traveled through North America in the late 18th century and recorded his adventures in this wry series of letters. He arrived in America in 1795 at the age of 19 accompanied by a servant and traveled the continent on horseback on foot and by canoe. His distaste for American frontiersmen and the coarseness of manners in the United States would prove typical of English travelers for decades to come. Between July and November 1796 he travelled from Lake Champlain to Montréal and Québec returning through Montréal and continuing his journey to Kingston Newark Niagara-on-the-Lake Malden Amherstburg Detroit and Fort Erie. He declared the scenery from the Upper Town of Québec to surpass 'all that I have hitherto seen in America or indeed in any other part of the globe' and felt that travelling conditions between Québec and Montréal were the best in North America. Based on these observations he concluded that 'a man of moderate property could provide for his family with much more ease in Canada than in the United States' because of the abundance of affordable land. Like many other British travellers then and later Weld felt most at home in the Canadian provinces. Weld's narrative was reprinted more than that of any other European traveler to North America in the later 18th-century. The engraved plates are after sketches by the author. 'A New Map of Upper & Lower Canada' dated 1798 extends from James's Bay to the north Lake Winnipeg to the west and New Brunswick to the east with the territory of the United States below the Candian border left undefined by blank space.<br/> <br/> Cox 176; Stanton and Tremaine 708; Lowndes 2868; Gagnon I: 3701; Lande 890; JCB II: 4062; Clark II: 132; Rich 1799; Allibone 2636; Sabin 102541; ESTC T110539; Howes W-235; Story p. 103; Vlach 754; Winsor V p.284 & VIII 174 191.

Isaac Weld 1774-1856 conducted a survey of the United States from 1795 to 1797 covering the Eastern Seaboard and parts of the American frontier including Virginia Pennsylvania New York and the Carolinas. Weld traveled by horseback boat and on foot observing the social political and economic conditions of the newly formed nation. In "Travels" he commented on the vast natural beauty of the American landscape the state of infrastructure and the way of life of settlers and Native American tribes he encountered. Weld was critical of the rough manners and egalitarianism he witnessed contrasting it with European refinement yet he admired the industrious spirit of Americans. His narrative of the nascent United States helped to shape European opinions of the new nation during the Revolutionary period. John Stockdale unknown
