Price 21/- net THE part played by Scotsmen in the development of the Canadian nationality as a part of the British Empire has been very great, and in this two-volume work we are given a complete account of the range and extent of the influence they exerted and of the various spheres in which that influence has had most marked and lasting effect. Volume I., which is written by Dr. Wilfred Campbell, covers all Eastern Canada, and deals with the many early settlements which were essentially Scottish and with the life of the chief Scottish communities in the leading cities, stress being laid upon the Ulster Scotsman and the importance of his place in the Canadian economy. Of particular interest and value to students in individual research should be the lists which are given of the pioneers and founders of these settlements. Dr. Bryce contributes Volume II., which deals mainly with the Western Provinces of Canada, including portions of old Rupert's Land and the Indian Territories. In both volumes the authors have endeavoured to trace clearly the Scottish influence in the religion, education, politics and commerce of Canada, and to show how important has been the share which Scotsmen have had in the founding, peopling, and upbuilding of Britain's great Western Empire. Amongst the more famous Scotsmen who are mentioned in the work are the Right Hon. Sir Alexander Macdonald, K.C. B., His Grace the Duke of Argyll, Sir Sandford Fleming, Lord Strathcona, Sir Alexander Mackenzie, Lord Selkirk, the Rev. Dr. Robertson, Archbishop Machray, and many others. "Two important volumes record and analyse with painstaking thoroughness and marked ability. That the research necessary for the compilation of such a work as this has been a labour of love for Mr. Wilfred Campbell, the well-known poet and scholar of Ottawa, and for Dr. George Bryce, of Winnipeg, we can well believe. That their effort was worth the making no one will doubt who looks, even cursorily, into the nine hundred odd pages. . . . know of nothing more comprehensive in the shape of biographical and historical records of the lives and doings of the Dominion's more prominent citizens than The Scotsman in Canada.'" -Athenæum. We "We have had several works recently on the part played by emigrants from our own northern country in the building up of modern Canada, but the two volumes The Scotsman in Canada are likely to rank as the standard authority on the subject... Both writers have already done good work in the field of Canadian literature and history, and the present undertaking will increase their reputation.. The present work is one which should appeal to Scottish readers all the world over."-The Scotsman. London: SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON & CO., Ltd. And all Booksellers |
