Description:	When a nervous breakdown by Ishbel Gordon in 1889 led doctors to advise a long holiday, she traveled to Canada with her husband, John Hamilton Gordon, 7th Earl of Aberdeen. They chose to settle in Canada, "partly because of their interest in immigration as a solution to Britain's social ills," wrote Editor John T. Saywell. Lord Aberdeen was then named Governor General of Canada. One of the most important manuscripts related to Canada for the mid-1890s, Lady Aberdeen's Journal casts considerable light on the many problems, political, social, and economic, faced by Canada in that decade.
