Excerpt from An Intercolonial Outing!: Along the Shores of the Lower St. Lawrence and Through the Provinces by the Sea
This is the second revision of the original story. It was all true enough in the first instance, but this is a great and growing country, and every year brings changes. Even if this were not so, it would be impolitic to tell so much that nothing could be added. Men who write guide books must live with an eye to the future.
While the present edition contains much that was in the others, either word for word, or disguised with more or less ingenuity, a large amount of really fresh matter has been scattered through the pages in such a way that, to be sure of finding it all, the whole book must be read. It may also interest the compilers of certain other guides to know that some typographical errors, which they have been copying without credit, have been corrected so as to make the matter more worthy of appropriation than in the past.
Apart from any fresh errors that may occur this time, the following pages do not tell half the truth. That is because there is not room for it.
