Excerpt from The Boston Committee in Canada: A Series of Eight Letters Reprinted From the Boston Atlas
The farm of Mr. Webster, in Franklin, is one of the most beautiful objects along this route. His neat country residence with its ample fields, its fine lawns, and the high state of culture which his lands present, appears in marked contrast with the surrounding country.
The entire line of roads over which the delegation travel led, appears to be well built there is no visible evidence that the work has been slighted, or that the price of the stock has affected the thorough character of the road bed, and all the fixtures or furniture of the lines. Every indication evinced that the stockholders were the only parties who had cause for complaint respecting the pecuniary difficulties under which the work had been executed.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the historic 1851 visit of Boston city officials to the Canadian cities of Toronto, Kingston, Montreal, and others. The author provides a detailed and lively account of the delegation's mission to promote trade and strengthen social ties between the United States and Canada. Beyond the historical narrative, the book offers insights into the political, economic, and social dynamics of the time. It explores the impact of new transportation and communication technologies, such as railways and telegraphs, on cross-border relations. The author also examines the contrasting approaches to immigration and the role of the Catholic Church in both the United States and Canada. Through vivid descriptions of meetings with local officials, business leaders, and ordinary citizens, the book captures the complex and often conflicting attitudes towards each other held by Americans and Canadians at this pivotal moment in history. It also highlights the shared desire for cooperation and mutual benefit that ultimately prevailed.
