Summary

It is hardly necessary for me to remark that the royal tour, which in the foregoing narrative I have chronicled with cosmopolitan impartiality has been a great success both to the reigning family and government of England, the people of the British Provinces, and their neighbors of the United States. With the exception of the Orange difficulties in Upper Canada, the progress of the Prince of Wales, from his first landing on American soil to the day of his final departure from it, was marked with a series of the most flattering demonstrations, not only from those he will one day in the ordinary course of nature and by the constitution of his country be called upon to govern, but from the free people of a great and friendly power, which although differing in system from his own aims at a like result—the priceless boon of liberty. Wherever he went on British soil the inhabitants displayed their loyalty to the throne and their affection for the Queen and that son who came among them as her representative. At every city, town, and village through which he passed one at least, and frequently half a dozen, addresses of devotion and welcome were presented, and as promptly replied to. I should have felt much satisfaction in printing the whole of these, for they did equal credit to the head and heart, but the space they would occupy is more than I could afford, and official documents of that kind are, after all, not very lively reading.
