PM with ms notes. A pamphlet entitled "Information Relative to the Canadian Company. London: Printed by W. Marchant, Ingram-Court, Fenchurch-Street. 1824," showing "the benefits to be derived from the establishment of a Company, for the purchase of the Crown and Clergy reserves" in Upper Canada. There is a general introduction and an Appendix, containing the following items: [1] Excerpts from Books of Travels and Private Communications, describing climate, soil, minerals, agricultural products, flax, hemp; [2] Remarks on the Province of Upper Canada.

By the Founder of the "Talbot Settlement" [i.e., Talbot's Five years' residence in the Canadas, 1824]"; [3] "Extracts from statistical Reports" [i.e., Gourlay's Statistical Account of Upper Canada, 1822], mentioning Ancaster, Barton, Nichol, West Flamborough, Beverly [recte Beverley] (all in Gore District), Kingston (Midland District), Yarmouth, Southwold, Dunwich (all in London District), Delaware, Westminster, Dorchester (all in Niagara District), [4] "Queries answered by the Honourable and Reverend Dr. Strachan, and by P. Robinson, Esq. Members of the [Legislative] Council of the Province of Upper Canada", [5] "Queries answered by the Right Reverend Father Macdonell [A. McDonell], Bishop of Rhoesina [recte Rhesaina]", [6] "Queries answered by William Gilkison, Esq. long resident in Upper Canada".

As for item [5], McDonell supports the idea of a Canadian Company, to be formed in England, that would develop the province of Upper Canada in assisting the settlers to clear the land "in the American way"; in the United States speculators and capitalists attract settlers to their lands by building roads and mills and giving loans to them; in Canada, the Crown and clergy reserves and the concessions granted to military claimants keep more than 3/4 of the whole province "in a state of nature". PF notes. Bs: folio 453v, 481v-482r.
