1989301 pages including bibliography. Remainder dot on top edge of text. Spine leans a little to right. "I believe the way to tell farm history, and in the process the history of this country, is in the words of those who cleared and tended the land or who, at least, were in attendance as witnesses to farm life. In the past several years, I have been collecting hundreds of excerpts from eighteenth and nineteenth-century writings that in any way touch on Canadian agriculture. The scope of this book is pre-1900 and all of Canada... This book is for the land lover, layman or otherwise, and not for the agricultural scientist, statistician, footnoting historian or economist." - the author. With some black and white illustrations.
