    ""Life in the Clearings Versus the Bush"" is a memoir by Susanna Moodie, originally published in 1853. The book describes Moodie's experiences as a settler in Canada, contrasting the hardships of life in the wilderness with the relative comfort of living in more developed areas. Moodie provides vivid descriptions of the harsh realities of pioneer life, including the challenges of clearing land, building homes, and dealing with the dangers of the wilderness. She also discusses the social and cultural differences between life in the bush and life in the clearings, highlighting the difficulties of adapting to a new way of life. Throughout the book, Moodie provides insights into the struggles and triumphs of early Canadian settlers, and offers a unique perspective on the development of Canadian society in the mid-19th century.The native-born Canadian regarded with a jealous feeling men of talent and respectability who emigrated from the mother country, as most offices of consequence and emolument were given to such persons. The Canadian, naturally enough, considered such preference unjust, and an infringement upon his rights as a native of the colony, and that he had a greater claim, on that account, upon the government, than men who were perfect strangers. This, owing to his limited education, was not always the case; but the preference shown to the British emigrant proved an active source of ill-will and discontent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

    Roughing It In The Bush is a memoir written by Susanna Moodie, a British author who immigrated to Canada in the 1830s. The book is a collection of anecdotes and observations about her experiences living in the Canadian wilderness, as she and her husband attempted to establish a farm and make a new life for themselves. Moodie's writing is both humorous and poignant, as she describes the challenges of adapting to a new way of life, including the harsh climate, the isolation, and the constant struggle to survive. She also reflects on the cultural differences between her native England and her new home, and the ways in which her own attitudes and beliefs were challenged and changed by her experiences in Canada. Throughout the book, Moodie's love for the natural world shines through, as she describes the beauty and wonder of the Canadian landscape, and the many creatures she encounters in the wild. She also writes about the people she meets along the way, including other settlers, Indigenous peoples, and the occasional traveler passing through. Overall, Roughing It In The Bush is a vivid and engaging account of one woman's journey to a new land, and her determination to make a life for herself in the face of adversity. It is a classic work of Canadian literature, and a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the early days of Canadian settlement.Nature has lavished all her grandest elements to form this astonishing panorama. There frowns the cloud-capped mountain, and below, the cataract foams and thunders; wood, and rock, and river combine to lend their aid in making the picture perfect, and worthy of its Divine Originator.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

    Susanna Moodie's book Roughing It in the Bush details her experiences as a Canadian immigrant. In the 1830s, Moodie moved to Upper Canada, which would later become Canada West, close to what is now Peterborough, Ontario. She published a "guide" to settler life for British subjects considering moving to Canada at the recommendation of her editor. The first edition of Roughing It in the Bush appeared in London in 1852. (then Toronto in 1871). It was Moodie's most popular piece of writing. The piece is organized as a sequence of chronological drawings and combines autobiographical and novelization of her experiences. A trilogy that Moodie authored to describe the immigrant experience in Canada included Roughing It in the Bush. Flora Lyndsay (1854), a prologue that details the preliminary immigration preparations, and Life in the Clearings, an examination of Canadian cities and institutions, round out the trio (1853). In Canada, Moodie had experience publishing brief articles for periodicals. Before Victoria Magazine was shut down in 1838, she and her husband served as its editors. Beginning in late 1838, she made contributions to the Literary Garland of Montreal.
