Excerpt from The Confederation of the British North American Provinces: Their Past History and Future Prospects; Including Also British Columbia and Hudson's Bay Territory; With a Map, and Suggestions in Reference to the True and Only Practicable Route From the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean I desire to prove by that history, that progress, that prosperous present, and by that prospective future, what a Splendid territory Great Britain possesses, and how proud she should be of so thriving, so energetic, so ambitious a people. I shall devote a few chapters to the consideration of the Western States of the United States; I Shall Show by statistical tables their progress, their development, and their inherent agricultural and mineral wealth. The subject of a railway communication between. The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans will also claim attention; and it will be my endeavour to point out that route which, by its natural advantages, offers the most feasible and least expensive means of crossing the continent.
