Excerpt from York HarbourAnxious to draw public attention to the state of York harbour, and impressed with the idea of the correctness of my views, I lay them in candour before the public, as interesting to the Commerce of Upper Canada, and, if correct, as vital to the prosperity of the town of York.To those unacquainted with, or whose vocations deprive them of opportunities of observing the silent and subaqueous operations of nature in the port, I need scarcely apologize for laying before them the result of long observations. To the scientific, I submit my Opinions with deference to their better judgement.I may first, then, remind the country, that we had but three natural ports on the British side of Lake Ontario - those of Kingston, York, and Niagara, until the once Burlington Bay by the hand of art became a fourth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
