London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Orme, 1809. First Edition. Good. Tall octavo, 406pp. Folding map present, though inserted after the Contents. There are (apparently) three folding charts called for, and they appear to all be present here, though it appears that the binder rather lazily kept two of the plates, which had been printed on the same sheet, together, thus creating one very long folding chart (if this is unclear, we will endeavor to explain). There does not seem to be any missing content. Front board and front free endpaper detached, but present. Folding map bears some old repair work, and was re-inserted into the book upside-down. Leather dry, and corners worn. The internal contents are clean, crisp, and bright. A serviceable reading copy in a contemporary binding, which could benefit from some inexpensive structural repair work. In good condition overall. Very important survey of Eastern Canada dating to the eve of the War of 1812. Sabin 28393.

London, 1809. [14],406pp. plus folding map and three folding tables. Later three quarter morocco and marbled boards. Some foxing and tanning, folds of map reinforced on verso. Good. Gray gives an account of his three-year residence in Lower Canada, with observations of the commercial, legal and political aspects of the country. "Gray came to the conclusion that Canada was worth preserving, but he raised a hornet's nest by expressing doubts that the French Canadians were fitted to receive the benefits of the British Constitution. His contemptuous remarks about the cultural level of French Canadians were bitterly resented" - Story. LANDE 282. DIONNE II:939. KRESS B.5510. TPL 824. GAGNON I:1548. SABIN 28393. VLACH 359.
