This chapter will fail of its end if it does not recall, or even suggest to a 
stranger, the true atmosphere of the. province. 
Chapter XI.—New Brunswick as a land for healthy sport ; of free 
people ; for colonists. Effect of topography, climate and natural produc- 
tions upon character of a people ; splendid inheritance of the young New 
Brunswicker ; small appreciation by her own people, who sell its privi- 
leges to the highest bidders, but great appreciation by strangers; good 
books by Gordon, Dashwood, Sage and others, but no native literature. 
Chapter XII —Place and topographical nomenclature, varied, ap- 
propriate and interesting. 
Chapter XIII.—Effect of the preceding upon the exploration and 
settlement of New Brunswick, and the making of the New Brunswick 
people: the distribution of population ; sites of towns; what is taught 
by the preceding as to the future of the province. Mining likely not to 
be important; all conditions favourable for agriculture and dairy industry, 
superiority of the lot of the New Brunswick farmer over that of the 
Western or European ; abundance of land useless for agriculture but 
good for trees, and the omnipresent streams and rivers make the province 
particularly well adapted to timber-culture ; abundance of water-falls and 
the strong tides promise unlimited cheap power for manufacturing when 
electrical conduction of power is perfected. Advantages of diverse re- 
sourees in building up a strong people.

SECTION II—THE INDIAN TRIBES OF NEW BRUNSWICK. 
Most works on local history give a chapter to the Indian tribes, but 
this is generally compiled from various books and repeats old errors. 
This is particularly the case with books on New Brunswick and I have 
never seen in one of them anything on the subject which was not worth- 
less. Our writers viewing them from a distance and judging them by 
their own standards, or finding that they fall below the ideals inspired
