Alexander Wedderburn, Statistical and Practical Observations
Relative to the Province of New-Brunswick: Published for the Information of Emigrants,
1835, pages 40-48 and last page.
Wedderburn was active in the Saint John Agricultural and Emigrant Society in the
1820s, helping emigrants to get settled in New Brunswick. As a result, the Colonial
Office appointed him the first emigrant agent for New Brunswick, in 1831. His
book, one of the earliest descriptions of the province, was designed to entice
and inform the prospective settler.
