Page 31 - On the British side of the line, with the exception of a few favoured spots, where some approach to American prosperity is apparent, all seems waste and desolate.
Page 31 - ... and apparently unenterprising, though hardy and industrious, separated from each other by tracts of intervening forest, without towns and markets, almost without roads, living in mean houses, drawing little more than a rude subsistence from ill-cultivated land, and seemingly incapable of improving their condition, present the most instructive contrast to their enterprising and thriving neighbours on the American side.
Page 31 - On the American side all is activity and bustle. The forest has been widely cleared ; every year numerous settlements are formed, and thousands of farms are created out of the waste ; the country is intersected by common roads ; canals and railroads are finished, or in the course of formation ; the ways of communication and transport are crowded with people, and enlivened by numerous carriages and large steam-boats.
Page 16 - Come the eleventh plague, rather than this should be ; Come sink us rather in the sea. Come, rather, pestilence, and reap us down ; Come God's sword rather than our own, Let rather Roman come again, Or Saxon, Norman, or the Dane : In all the bonds we ever bore, We griev'd, we sigh'd, we wept ; we never blush'd before.

As we pass and re-pass before that door, which it never quits, that majestic and mournful figure fixes for a moment our distracted attention.
Page 41 - Labour' is, if well understood, the Problem of the whole Future, for all who will in future pretend to govern men.
Page 31 - ... land in Vermont and New Hampshire, close to the line, is five dollars per acre, and in the adjoining British townships only one dollar.
Page 21 - ... pressing towards the hearth, from which sin has banished it. As we pass and re-pass before that door, which it never quits, that majestic and mournful figure fixes for a moment our distracted attention. Each time it awakens in our memory I know not what dim recollections of order, glory, and happiness ; but we pass, and the impression vanishes. We have not been able entirely to repudiate the truth ; we still retain some unconnected fragments of it ; what of its light our enfeebled eye can bear,...
Page 31 - But it is not in the difference between the larger towns on the two sides that we shall find the best evidence of our own inferiority. That painful but undeniable truth is most manifest in the country districts through which the line of national separation passes for 1,000 miles. There, on the side of both the Canadas, and also of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, a widely scattered...
