"England and Canada" by Sandford Fleming is a travel narrative interwoven with historical commentary written in the late 19th century. The book recounts Fleming's journey from the eastern shores of Canada to the Pacific Coast, emphasizing the links between Canada and the British Isles through exploration and commerce. It likely explores themes such as national identity, the contrasts and similarities between Canadian and English societies, and the evolution of transportation and communication linking the two regions. The beginning of the work sets the stage for a grand exploration of both countries, starting with a reflective overview of Newfoundland as a gateway to North America and its historical significance in maritime navigation. Fleming describes the advances in sea travel over the centuries, stressing how steamships have transformed the Atlantic crossing into a more regular and accessible venture. He shares personal insights into his motivations for the journey and the significance of the connections between the two lands as he prepares for his voyage, promising a blend of travelogue and historical reflection throughout the ensuing chapters.
