Excerpt from The Female Emigrant's Guide, and Hints on Canadian Housekeeping, Vol. 1
Among the many books that have been written for the instruo tion of the Canadian emigrant, there are none exclusively devoted for the use of the wives and daughters of the future settler, who for the most part, possess but a very vague idea of the particular duties which they are destined to undertake, and are often totally unprepared to meet the emergencies of their new mode of life.
