PREFACE. 



PORTIONS of this work have appeared in the columns 

 of the 'Field/ with the nom-de-plume of 'Cariboo.' By 

 the courtesy of the publisher of that journal I am now 

 permitted to republish my papers, together with fresh 

 matter, in the present shape. It contains practical and, 

 it is hoped, useful hints for emigrants and sportsmen, 

 written by an emigrant and a sportsman. Good books 

 of travel are plentiful, and there is also a mass of 

 published information specially written for emigrants of 

 the working classes, but little or none for a class of 

 emigrants for which Canada is a particularly suitable 

 country; I allude to people of small fortune, whose 

 means, though ample to enable them to live well in 

 Canada, are insufficient to meet the demands of rising 

 expenses at home. In the following pages I have en- 

 deavoured to put together information for the latter 

 class.
