Excerpt from Dominion of Canada: The Eastern Townships; Information for Intending Settlers
In Winter, the climate is generally colder than-that of the United Kingdom, but the cold is accompanied by a drier and brighter atmosphere which causes a much less disagreeable feeling of cold than a warmer temperature accompanied by dampness; and it is'an undoubted fact that owing. To. This drier cold in winter,,pe0ple suffer much lesswin Canada than they do in England. During the Winter, too, the snow which falls remains on the ground and packing underflfoot, forms a smooth road,' which is very favourable for the Operations of teaming and lumbering. This is an advantage peculiar to the country, as even in the more newly settled localities, before there has been time to make very perfect roads, the snow road offers facilities which are not exceeded, and in truth not equalled, by the best macadamised roads of the United Kingdom.

However, the author details the many advantages of settling in the area, including the mild climate, fertile soil, abundant natural resources, and economic opportunities. Topics discussed in this book include climate and agricultural production, soil, transportation, and markets.
