Excerpt from An Historical and Descriptive Account of British America, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprehending Canada, Upper and Lower, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, the Bermudas and the Fur Countries
The territories of British America, even after having lost enough to constitute one of the greatest states in the world, embrace a very large proportion of the earth's surface, and present natural features at once extremely grand and romantic. The na tive inhabitants were distinguished by energy and intelligence above all the other rude tribes of the Western Continent, and displayed, perhaps, beyond any similar race, the most striking peculiarities of savage life. Their long and fierce struggles, before yielding to the superior numbers and martial skill of Europeans, gave rise to scenes much more inter. Esting than ever diversify the routine of civilized warfare. Finally, the exploits by which those re gions Were added to the dominion of Britain, are acknowledged to rank among the most brilliant that adorn her annals in any age.
These colonies, too, have acquired an augment. Ed importance from the great changes effected in our own times. Their rich and varied products.
