Excerpt from Hints to Emigrants: In a Series of Letters From Upper Canada My reason for sailing from Leith instead of Greenock was this: I had been preaching in Edinburgh and Leith for some months before I embarked, by which I got acquainted with the owner of the Rothiemurchus, whose son was the Captain and, expecting to be more comfortable with him than with an entire stranger, I was in duced to sail from this port.

Mr. Taylor atfd his family, who were proceeding with us to Canada. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
