Corners bumped, spine extremities and edges lightly worn. Moderate foxing. About very good. A humorous account of a trip through British Columbia undertaken by an English party whose self-proclaimed purpose was to assess the area's "capabilities as a home for some of the public-school and university young men who, in this overcrowded old England of ours, every year find themselves more 'de trop.'"
