Author Description

Excerpt from Canada and Its Provinces, Vol. 23: A History of the Canadian People and Their Institutions This volume, ' the prospectus promises, will be of the highest possible importance. In the foregoing twenty-two volumes the associates have placed their facts and conclusions before the reader; in this volume they will name and point to the sources from which these facts are drawn. The narratives will be followed chapter by chapter, and documentary and other authorities will be cited. By this procedure of consigning citations for the most part to the final volume, the pages of the text are not burdened, and the majority of readers annoyed, by elaborate footnotes, while at the same time the student who wishes to know the sources will have them at his command.
