Reviews

Anna Brownell Jameson visited Canada in 1836-37, two years after York incorporated as the City of Toronto. For the first part of her journal, Winter Studies, she was a virtual hostage kept indoors by the cold winter weather, taking only one trip by sleigh to Niagara Falls which she described as disappointing (she changes her tune when she revisits it in the summer).
