mine in Upper Canada; a Jew in England would not have given five pounds
for the lot, yet, sold at auction, they cleared twenty-five pounds, all
expenses paid. He cannot, therefore, take out too much clothing, but
the coarser and more common it is the better. Let him supply himself
from the old clothes shops, or the cheap stores. New clothes will soon
become old when he works hard. Having made this provision, let him buy
nothing else; but change his money into sovereigns and keep it in his
pocket.

As soon as he arrives at Quebec, he must lose no time in taking the
steamboat up the St Lawrence, and landing near to where he has decided
upon locating. If he has made no decision, at all events let him leave
the city immediately, and get into the country, for there he will get
work and spend less money. Instead of thinking of making a purchase of
land, let him _give up all thoughts of it for a year or two_; but hire
himself out, and his wife and children also, if he can. If he is a good
man, he will receive four pounds a month, or forty-eight pounds a year,
with his board and lodging. The major part of this he will be able to
lay by. If his wife must stay at home to take care of the children,
still let her work; work is always to be found, and she may not only
support herself and children, but assist his fund. By the time that he
has been eighteen months or two years in the country, he will have his
eyes open, know the value of every thing, and will not be imposed upon
as he would have been had he taken a farm immediately upon his arrival.
He will have laid by a sufficient sum for him to begin with, and he will
have become acquainted with the mode of farming in the country, which is
very different from what he has been used to in the old. He may then go
on and prosper.

The next description of emigrant settler to which I shall address myself
is he who comes out with a small capital, say from two hundred to five
hundred pounds; a sum sufficient to enable him to commence farming at
once, but not sufficient to allow him to purchase or stock a farm which
has a portion of the land already cleared. The government lands fetch
at auction about ten shillings an acre, and they are paid for by
instalments, one-tenth down, and one-tenth every year, with interest,
until the whole be paid; of course, he may pay it all at once, if he
pleases, and save the interest. He must not purchase more than four
hundred acres. He can
