Reviews

"Assisting Emigration to Upper Canada is a very impressively researched [book] ... It contributes to the growing interest in English immigration to Canada, especially in its detailed description of ordinary immigrants ... It also is one of a very few case studies of assisted emigration and has the potential to compliment the large body of literature that exists on unassisted emigration."
