Originally published in 1836, this was one of the few books on frontier Canada to give details of the domestic economy of a settler's life. Her target audience was the upper-class English immigrant. "It is not only the poor husbandmen and artisans, that move in vast bodies to the west, but it is the enterprising English capitalist, and the once affluent landholder, alarmed at the difficulties of establishing numerous families in independence, in a country where every profession is overstocked, that join the bands that Great Britain is pouring forth into these colonies! Of what vital importance is it that the female members of these most valuable colonists should obtain proper information regarding the important duties they are undertaking; that they should learn before hand to brace their minds to the task, and thus avoid the repinings and discontent that is apt to follow unfounded expectations and fallacious hopes!"

Catharine Parr Traill, born Catharine Parr Strickland, was an English-Canadian author and naturalist known for her writings on life in Canada, particularly in what is now Ontario. She played a vital role in documenting the colonial experience and the natural environment of Upper Canada for English readers. Traill wrote extensively throughout her life, publishing 24 books on various topics, including her experiences as a settler, natural history, and botany. Born in 1802 in Rotherhithe, London, Traill grew up in East Anglia and received her education at home. After her father's death, she and her sisters turned to writing as a means to support their family. Later, Traill settled in Belleville and focused on writing about the natural environment, including botanical studies and descriptions of Canadian wildflowers. She received recognition for her contributions to literature and natural history, including an honorary grant and the preservation of her plant collections in the National Herbarium of Canada. Catharine Parr Traill passed away in 1899 at her residence in Lakefield, Ontario, leaving behind a significant legacy as a pioneer writer and naturalist in Canada.
