EARLY PIONEER TRAVEL-TENDENCIES WITH SOME RESULTS. / (/ TORONTO : THE COPP, CLARK COMPANY, LIMITED, PRINTERS, COLBORNE SfREET. 1895. f<^ 9^ THE LO(;-SHANTY BOOK-SHELF FOR 1895; EARLY PKJNEKll TilAVEL-TENDENCIES, WITH SOME RESULTS. I have this year placed on the shelf devoted to siioh a purpose, in the Pioneer's Lodge on the In(histrial Exiiibition grounds at Toronto, during the great September Exhibition, a number of vohimes labelled " My Travel Books," they being the representatives and to a great extent the outcome in the hrst instance of a smaller collection now for the most part dispersed, and irretrievably lost, which consisted of productions of a somewhat juvenile character, con- taining brief narratives of early voyages and discoveries, shipwrecks, conflicts with savages in the South Seas, and so on. The eflect of such narratives on one's own boyish mind, as on that doubtless of hundreds of others, was to excite a certain hunger for travel and exploration which must some day be satisfied. Even in the primitive days of Canada when literature of all kinds was almost inaccessible in the backwoods, reading of this kind in some way or other did come before the eyes of boys. Among the homely contents of the chests brougiit over by immigrants from the "Old Country " were often found the remains of old books of travel which had been favourites among members of the family. At an early period I had certainly picke.' up in some quarter or other "Narratives of Captain Cook's Discoveries," " Aaaon's Voyage Round the World," " Dampier's Voyage Round the World," "Alexander Selkirk's Life in the Island of Juan Fernandez" worked up by De Foe into " Robinson Crusoe," " The Life of Prince Lee-Boo of the Pelew Islands." Beechey's "Mutiny of the Bounty," Byron's " Narrative of the Wreck of the Wager," and so forth. By a perusal of those the travel tendency was no doubt to some extent promoted. On looking back 1 can see now tliat it was not altogether an overmastering thirst for learning, technically so called, that led one, in 1833, to assent to the proposal made by friends that we should be transferred from the midst of very primitive surroundings in Canada to the University of Camln-idge ; but the travel tendency ami the prospect of a more than three years' sojourn within the bounds of beautiful and richly-storied England had something to do with that assent. 3 y itn f^ 4 TJIK L0(i-8HANTV UOOK-SHKLF FOU 1895.
