Second and third editions were published in the same year. Douglas had been Governor of New Brunswick from 1823-1829. He provides detailed information on the population and manufactures of Canada, its commercial importance to Great Britain and significance to the West India trade, its crucial boost to British exports, its enormous wealth and natural resources, and consequent importance as a stable source of British imports. He warns against modification of duties and tariffs on this trade; contemplated changes will injure England's status as a great maritime power.
