One of the rarest Canadian emigration guides.

William Bell decided in 1816, despite his wife’s protests, to accept the Colonial Office’s proposal of a land grant and a £100 salary to serve as minister to the government-assisted Scottish settlers at Perth, Upper Canada. Bell was ordained by the Associate Presbytery of Edinburgh on 4 March 1817, and a month later sailed with his family for the Canadas. William Bell extensively rewrote his letter-book and 17 diaries (QUA, William Bell papers) late in life. His more immediate responses to issues appear in the numerous pugnacious letters he sent to Upper Canadian newspapers, his Hints to emigrants; in a series of letters from Upper Canada (Edinburgh, 1824) quoted from DCB online.
