Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under the Lily and the Rose, Vol. 1: A Short History of Canada for Children I have said that it should be read by children. But in the form in which it is presented, in its charming narrative style supplemented by beautiful illustrations, it would repay perusal by many who have long passed the days of childhood. To them, if they be unfamiliar with the romance it unfolds, it may serve to kindle a new interest in the land of Cartier and Champlain, in the land of the United Empire Loyalist, in the land of the prairies, the land of the mountains, and the land of the golden west. It is indeed a land to write about, to read of, and to live for, and to all who would wish to know more of it, I recommend this book.

Download or read book Junior History of Canada Classic Reprint written by Lilian Margaret Hendrie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Junior History of Canada Tats little book is intended mainly for children between the ages of ten and fourteen. No attempt has therefore been made to touch - except in merest outline - upon the constitutional side of Canadian History. Rather has the writer, adopting a simple conversational style, tried to present the history of Canada in the form, as far as possible, of a series of biographies. At the same time, that the child may get some idea of the relation between cause and effect and become conscious of growth and development in the history of the country, effort has been made to present - not a series of isolated pictures - but a coherent whole, of which each chapter forms a necessary and definite part. Stress has been laid on the work of the explorers and on its value to the country. To induce the child to read with atlas at hand, care has been taken - even when the reference is brief - to state somewhat definitely the route of the early voyageurs. Though the book is elementary in form, original sources of information have been consulted whenever possible, the diaries and letters of the leading people referred to having been read wherever such were available.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Canada: From Its First Discovery to the Present Time The present condition of Canada points to a future national greatness of no ordinary magnitude. Her inland seas and noble rivers have already become the highways of a vast and rapidly-increasing commerce; and the morning voice of a new nation resounds over a scene as varied as it is beautiful. In the foreground stand the populous cities and flourishing towns, which stud the margins of her rivers and the shores of her lakes; in the perspective, repose the free and happy homes of her rural population. The farmer is the owner, in fee-simple, of the soil he tills, and rejoices in an independence of the most sturdy and complete character. In the various industrial professions, enterprise, economy, and prudence rarely fail to secure success, while in numberless instances they have been the avenues to wealth. This country abounds with merchants and manufacturers who have been eminently successful; and every-day experience presents to our notice mechanics that have won their way to positions alike well-merited and honourable. The present of Canada supplies a kaleidoscope, brilliant with promise, through which we may gaze at the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada The author has not attempted to give a history of Canada. It is a new country, and not the stage of centuries of human struggle and effort, in the sense that European countries are. Therefore his idea has been to describe the great natural features of the land, in its broader characteristics - its coasts, rivers, mountains, lakes, and prairies, those physical beauties and sublime effects of nature for which the region is specially famous. With this he has attempted to depict the seasons, and the beauty of the Canadian woods. In addition there is given a brief sketch of the settlement and development of the different communities, with special reference to the great centres of provincial and racial activities, and a reference to the people, its origins, composite ideals, and the leading actors on its historical stage of progress and accomplishment.

The Governor had by his sole authority directed a change to be made, to dispute the Intendant's position as President an office he held on a similar tenure to that of the Presidents of the Superior Courts in France.
