Excerpt from Gazetteer of the Province of Upper Canada: To Which Is Added, an Appendix, Describing the Principal Towns, Fortifications and Rivers in Lower Canada The Publishers of the following Gazetteer, are indebted for the information it contains, principally to D. W. Smith, Esq. the very able Surveyor-General of Upper Canada, who drew it to accompany the map published by him a few years since. As neither the Map or Gazetteer have ever been offered for sale, in the United States, and as the section of country which they particularly describe, has now become very interesting, the Publishers have been induced to re-publish both, with material corrections and improvements furnished them by several gentlemen acquainted with the country. An engraved plan of the city and works of Quebec and a description of the principal places in Lower Canada are added, which the former edition did not contain, and which was not contemplated at the commencement of the present publication.
