Summary

The exodus from England during the 19th century accounted for the greatest part of the total emigration from Britain to Canada. This book considers why people left England and traces their destinations in Ontario and Quebec. The author also argues that the English were attracted by the greater freedoms and better livelihoods that could be achieved by relocating to Canada's central provinces.--From publisher's description
