Paperback. Zustand: Good. A dynamic army officer and sportsman, Sir Richard Levinge (1811-84) was an unlikely chronicler of nature. However, service during the suppression of the French Canadian uprising of 1837-8 led to a personal fascination with the people, flora and fauna of the Canadian colonies. Published in 1846, this two-volume description of travel through eastern Canada and the United States reflects the author's passion for hunting and the outdoor life. In Volume 2 readers are introduced to the American swamps, Montreal, the Great Lakes and Niagara Falls, as well as the continent's exotic fauna in the form of racoons, snakes and bald eagles. Illustrated with a dramatic lithograph of a caribou hunt, this work conveys both the dangers and the attractions for the hunter and traveller of the North American continent at this period, and includes a sardonic account of the military activity which caused Levinge to be there. Volume two only. First published 1846 Copyright © Cambridge University Press.…

Published in 1846, this two-volume description of travel through eastern Canada and the United States reflects the author's passion for hunting and the outdoor life. In Volume 1, the reader accompanies Levinge on his voyage to Newfoundland before being regaled with tales of skating, sleighing, hunting for wolves and a fortnight in the bush in Nova Scotia. The American stage of his travels is lightened by anecdotes of 'Yankees shaving' and 'frigid Baptists'. Illustrated with dramatic lithographs of moose and salmon spearing, this work conveys both the dangers and the attractions for the hunter and traveller of the North American continent at this period.…

2 Volumes in 1. pp. viii, [v]-xvi, [iii]-v, 293, [1]; 258. 6 plates (incl. 2 tinted lithographed frontis.). original blind & gilt-stamped cloth, rebacked (corners bumped, some foxing to plates). Second Edition. From 1835 to 1837, the author, a British army officer of the 43rd Regiment, was stationed in St. John, New Brunswick. Struck by the great prosperity of the province and the lack of promotion of the many advantages awaiting the prospective settler, Levinge undertakes to remedy the situation in the first volume of this work. He offers hints to the emigrant, information regarding wages and costs of provisions, clothing, livestock, farming implements, agricultural produce, and reports on trade and the proposed railway. Levinge was also a great sporting enthusiast, and he provides some interesting anecdotes of his hunting and fishing excursions in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Upper Canada. Volume II relates a trip to the United States and his impressions of the social and political situation in Upper and Lower Canada, where he was posted during the Rebellion of 1837-38, and Lord Durham's administration. There is no title-page to Volume II presumably it was removed when the two volumes were united in this single volume edition; contents leaves for both volumes are bound at the beginning.
