BucKLAND, in the county of Hertford, is an 

 irregular township, situated in the rear of the 

 seigniory of St. Gervais, and the fiefs La Marti- 

 niere and M ont-a-Peine ; it joins Jolhet and 

 Frampton on the south-west, and is bounded 

 on the other sides by waste lands of the crown. 

 The surface of this tract is much varied, in 

 many places rising into considerable swells, the 

 intervals between which are rather swampy, but 

 the soil is in general excellent ; even the wet 

 lands are by no means of a bad quality. Every 

 species of grain and grass,besides hemp and flax, 

 might be produced upon it in great abundance. 

 It is principally timbered with beech, birch, 

 maple, ironwood, basswood, and elm, with a 

 great deal of cedar, spruce fir, and black ash. It 

 is completely watered by several large streams 

 and branches of the Echemin, with many ri- 

 vulets, on nearly all of which there are very 

 eligible situations for mills, and much good 

 meadow land along their borders. Large 

 quantities of maple-sugar are made here by the 

 inhabitants of St. Gervais. Only one quarter 

 of the township has been surveyed, which is 

 now the property of William Holmes, Esq., of 

 Quebec.
