"Canada and the British immigrant" by Emily P. Weaver is a travelogue by the author to guide any prospective immigrant. The book displays the difficulties, the trials, and the pleasures that await the newcomer to Canada, in the attempt to "make good" under unfamiliar circumstances. The author shares a general idea of the Dominion as a whole, and of each of the provinces a little more in detail, touching on their history only as it seems likely to help the understanding of what they now are, and of the attitude and ideals of the Canadian people. According to Emily, Canada is no "earthly paradise," but only "a good land and a large," where there is scope for many types of human beings to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually, as some of them have no room to do in the crowded centers of population in the Old World.
"A Canadian History for Boys and Girls" is a historical novel by Emily P. Weaver, aimed at younger readers giving a chronological account of the nation's history since its inception. The book is divided into three parts in order to mark changes of great importance. The First Part deals with the period of French rule; the Second with that of English rule till 1867; and the Third with the History of the Dominion since Confederation. These great divisions have been subdivided into Books, with the object of emphasizing the importance of different epochs in the history of the country. At the close of each Book is a chapter upon the Social Conditions of the period. She sums up the book thus, "I have endeavored to tell the story of Canada simply, and to choose subjects for illustration which would help boys and girls to understand the conditions of life prevailing in former times and in different parts of our widely-extended country."

Many Canadian women fiction writers have become justifiably famous. But what about women who have written non-fiction? When Anne Innis Dagg set out on a personal quest to make such non-fiction authors better known, she expected to find just a few dozen. To her delight, she unearthed 473 writers who have produced over 674 books. These women describe not only their country and its inhabitants, but a remarkable variety of other subjects: from the story of transportation to the legacy of Canadian missionary activity around the world. While most of the writers lived in what is now Canada, other authors were British or American travellers who visited Canada throughout the years and reported on what they found here. This compendium has brief biographies of all these women, short descriptions of their books, and a comprehensive index of their books’ subject matters. The Feminine Gaze: A Canadian Compendium of Non-Fiction Women Authors and Their Books, 1836-1945 will be an invaluable research tool for women’s studies and for all who wish to supplement the male gaze on Canada’s past.
