Both volumes have the top 1/8 inch of the spine missing an volume 2 has the bottom 1/8 inches missing as well.18.5cm x 13cm, (5" x 7 1/4"). There are no half-titles. Volume 1; [1] blank, in two parts, part 1, title page with cabin vignette by Richardson-Cox of three pioneers standing around a cooking pot in front of a log cabin, and on verso of title page dedication to Agnes Strickland, vi, [1] contents, [1]-211pp. [3 blank]With a Preface to the American Edition, dated New York, June, 1852, followed by the original Advertisement to the London Edition, dated London, January 22, 1852.Volume 2; 1] blank, in two parts, part 2, title page with no vignette image, and on verso of title page Grossman & Son, Printers, 59 Ann-street, [1] contents, [5]-p.224. Original brown cloth boards and tanned paper end papers with old library label pasted on front endpaper. Overall condition is poor for both volumes According to the Preface, several small poems by Mrs. Moodie and her husband were excluded from the American edition because "they rather retarded the flow of the narrative." However, her husband's poem Oh, Let Me Sleep and Susanna Moodie's The Sleigh-Bells are included at the end of Volume I and the Susanna Moodie's Maple Tree at the end of Vol. 2.This is a copy from the first American printing (the British edition came out earlier the same year) of English-born Canadian author Susanna Moodie's famous pioneer memoir, which has been reprinted to this very day. Humorously but honestly, Moodie recounts the journeys of her and her husband from Grosse Isle near Montreal, to their eventual home in a rural (and at the time of the book, still a very wild) area of Upper Canada. Moodie is still remembered as one of the most renowned Canadian authors of the period immediately before Confederation. "Roughing It in the Bush, became a best seller in both England and the United States. One of the characters in the book was called Little Addie and Mrs. Moodie based it on her daughter Agnes." from Toronto Star, Dec26,1981 article.

Inscribed to James Fuller with H.Cooper's best wishes, Parliamentary Printing Works, Toronto, 1873. bookplate & ownership entry of Judge J.A.Forin, with a few of his notes. engraved bookplate of Frank B.Pidgeon, Omemee by master Canadian bookplate designer Leslie Victor Smith dated 1946. First Canadian (First Illustrated) Edition of a classic of Canadian pioneer literature. Susanna Moodie, a sister of Catharine Parr Traill and Samuel Strickland, came to Upper Canada in 1832 with her husband, a lieutenant in the 21st Fusiliers. Originally settling on a farm near Cobourg, they later moved to the Backwoods area in Douro Township, and then to Belleville in 1840. Mrs. Moodie experienced considerable difficulty in adjusting to the hardships of pioneer life and her book, based on those experiences, was "prompted by the hope of deterring well-educated people, about to settle in this colony, from entering upon a life for which they were totally unfitted by their previous pursuits and habits." This first Canadian edition contains an initial chapter contrasting her current life in Canada with that which she experienced almost forty years earlier. Also added are five wood-engraved plates. Former owner Judge John Andrew Forin [1861-1957] remarks in a note that his father, John Forin, a prominent Belleville architect, was an intimate friend of the Moodie family. Gagnon I 2439.
