Excerpt from Canada in 1849, Vol. 2 of 2: Pictures of Canadian Life, or the Emigrant Churchman The government wild land in New Brunswick is extremely cheap, it averaging from half-a - crown to 33. An acre. In Nova Scotia the price ranges from upwards. It will be found, however, that, as is the case with many so called bar gains, the cheapest article is not always the best. Whether scrip has been issued for these provinces I cannot say. If it does, of course it will occasion a proportionate deduction in actual price of land to what it does in Canada. The great drawback in cultivating a farm here consists not merely in the expense of hired labour, but in the difficulty owing to the high pay afforded to lumberers, and the fascination which that life seems to exercise over them in getting any assistance at all.
