Abstract

REVIEWS that is surprising in a highly committed Liberal and of Home Rule. Lady Aberdeen's construction of Canada as a supporter space where simple common interests and pleasures are shared reflects the preoccupations of her missionary social work at home. Canada is the antithesis to a society that, elsewhere, the author argues may be doomed by the inflexibility of relations between classes. Harper argues for Lady Aberdeen's originality as a reporter and her shrewdness as an observer, but this reprint is most interesting as an example of the mainstream justification for emigration, and the dimensions of the life imagined by those who encouraged women to emigrate. for the colony JANET Columba's Island: lona from Past to Present.

As the author demonstrates so well, lona has never been just-anothersmall-Hebridean-island, and has always had to live with the slightly mixed blessing of being I Chaluim Chille, Columba's Island.
