Our historyCANADA AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE COUNTRY CASTELL HOPKINS has well fulfilled the promise of his Prospectus. His work is, in every sense, an encyclopaedia of the country, a really national work, from whose pages we can obtain the most varied and comprehensive information in regard, practically, to every subject relating to Canada. In it, the most interesting questions are treated by men, many of whom, to say the least, are so prominently and emi- nently identified with their several subjects as to give a stamp of authority to their utterances. The public will, no doubt, greatly appreciate the energy and patience and ability displayed by Mr Castell Hopkins in the arduous work which he has so patriotically undertaken, of making Canada better known and thereby contributing to its importance and prestige. The combination, in a single work, of contributions by writers from all the different sections of the country will extend to a greatly enlarged circle a knowledge of our distinguished compatriots, and an appreciation of the sentiments of the different sections of Canada and of the different races by whom they are inhabited. next |
