| Publisher Description: Canada and the States is a North America history classic by Edward William Watkin. "If the Maritime Provinces of Britain] would join us, spontaneously, today--sterile as they may be in the soil under a sky of steel--still with their hardy population, their harbours, fisheries, and seamen, they would greatly strengthen and improve our position, and aid us in our struggle for equality upon the ocean. If we would succeed upon the deep, we must either maintain our fisheries or ABSORB THE PROVINCES." E. H. DERBY, Esq, Report to the Revenue Commissioners of the United States, 1866. |
