"The loss of the British barque JANET COWAN and the seven men who perished in the aftermath was one of the principal shipwreck incidents on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island along that part of the shore known today as the West Coast Trail. It resulted in the recommendations for the construction of the shipwrecked mariner's trail that eventually became a reality.

17993 volumi in 8vo (211x132 mm). vii, [5]-321, [3] p., [1] grande cartina ripiegata del Canada e [6] tavole; [4], 344 p. e [4] tavole; [4], 294 p. [mancante l'ultima carta, bianca] e [2] tavole. Volumi legati in brossura coeva con tassello al dorso. Qualche lieve rossore, ma buona copia con carte consistenti e ancora in barbe. Prima edizione francese. Resoconto del viaggio compiuto dal giovane Isaac Weld, che trascorse più di due anni in Nord America per studiare le condizioni per una possibile immigrazione massiva irlandese. Osservò il territorio nordamericano compreso tra il fiume San Lorenzo a nord, la Virginia a sud e Detroit a ovest, muovendosi con i mezzi più disparati (a cavallo, a piedi, in canoa, in battello e in calesse). Incontrò una popolazione quantomai variegata, e conobbe George Washington e Thomas Jefferson. Il suo racconto è una testimonianza di grande interesse per la diversità dei temi trattati e per il giudizio dato alle due regioni osservate: severo per gli Stati Uniti e i suoi abitanti, avidi e violenti; più accondiscendente per il Canada, saggiamente governato e ancora abitato per lo più da francofoni.
