Author Description

Excerpt from To Europe and Back: With Incidents in Scotland, Ireland and England On June 8th, at a m., we were aroused from our slumbers by the Corsican blowing her Whistle for Kin gs ton. Here we found that there would be an hour to spare, so we took the opportunity of seeing a little of the city while the. Steamer was laying in a supply oi wood, which seemed to be very plentiful at this point. There are no buildings of particular interest in Kingston, but it is a clean, neat, and apparently well-kept city, with wide streets, good fire department, and extensively fortified, being the third city in the Dominion in this regard. The best hotel in the place is the British American. A settlement was begun here by the French about the year 1762.
