Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Album, Vol. 5: Encyclopedia Canada or the Progress of a Nation in Religion, Patriotism, Business, Law, Medicine, Education and Agriculture, Containing Facts and Faces of Some of Canada's Businessmen, Statesmen, Farmers, Men of the Learned Professions, and Officers; With It is with very great pleasure that Volume V. of The Canadian Album is now introduced. The former numbers of this art work are so widely and favorably known throughout the Dominion that the present issue will undoubtedly receive a very generous greeting. Considerably less than six years ago this prodigious undertaking was launched as one of the greatest art biographical works ever attempted by European or American publishers. Since then the conquering, of vast difficulties, the constant toil of able hands and minds, and the expenditure of over one hundred thousand dollars, have resulted in giving to the world an aggregation of faces and facts which will become increasingly interesting and valuable as the years roll on. It is safe to say that few other works, irrespective of their nature, have in more marked degree called forth the patriotism of the Canadian people. The beauty and utility of the enterprise have been not only admired by them, but so practically appreciated that a large circulation has been effected, carrying in its sweep the power to further strengthen the bond of union existing between our various provinces. Like previous volumes, the scope of this number is not limited to any special part of the provinces, or section of the Dominion, thus affording greater variety and wider information than if confined to narrower limits. The importance of Volume V.is greatly enhanced by the encyclopedic feature which it contains in the way of descriptive sketches written from information furnished by distinguished national or local authorities, and covering the principal places touched by it. In these days of pen pictures, this striking innovation upon the original plan of The Canadian Album, without increase of cost to its patrons, will be heartily appreciated by the many who are interested in its advent and circulation. These historic pages are more than ordinarily important on account of being found in this work, a fact which guarantees their preservation for centuries to come. Another commendable element in the production of the different volumes issued is the uniformity in the quality of the material used and the workmanship displayed. From first to last no attempt to save expense is apparent, nor is there any noticeable neglect in maintaining the high standard of excellence promised in the execution of the first number. In all probability this is the last volume of the present series, it being the intention of the publishers to enlarge and perfect present numbers as fast as new additions are required. The first four numbers bear the name of the distinguished author and editor, Rev. Wm. Cochrane, D. D., to whose prestige much of the success of the enterprise is due. Owing to greatly increased demands on his time, and in consideration of the more laborious work of editing the enlarged matter of the closing number, he, while not withdrawing his sympathy and influence, desired the completion of the series to be transferred to other hands. In taking his place, therefore, and presenting this Volume to the Canadian public, I can only express the hope and expectation that it will have the cordial and earnest reception which its great value, and the enterprise of its publishers, so thoroughly deserve.

Book excerpt: Canadian fiddle music receives the credit and recognition it deserves in this lively collection of tunes from virtually every province and ethnic group in Canada.

This revised edition features contributions of 200 of the best tunes from the first printing as well as 200 new tunes. They consist of hornpipes, strathspeys, polkas, waltzes, calypsos, reels, clogs, two-steps, jigs, airs, breakdowns, schottishes, marches, rags, and laments.

Book excerpt: A new edition of the classic bestseller from the original authors, with additional material specifically prepared for Canadian readers by long-time "This Morning CBC producer, Ira Basen, and Jane Farrow, the author of Wanted Words. In 1977, a publishing sensation was born. The Book of Lists, the first and best compendium of facts weirder than fiction, was published. Filled with intriguing information and must-talk-about trivia it has spawned many imitators -- but none as addictive or successful. For nearly three decades since, the editors have been researching curious facts, unusual statistics and the incredible stories behind them. Now the most entertaining and informative of these have been brought together in a long-awaited, thoroughly up-to-date new edition that is also the first Canadian edition. Ira Basen and Jane Farrow have augmented the existing lists with fascinating homegrown material, and compiled lists specifically of relevance to Canadian readers. So if you've always wanted to find out how porcupines really mate, how comedy can kill and -- that most essential piece of knowledge -- how long the longest recorded nose was, this is the book for you. With contributions from a variety of celebrities and experts including Margaret Atwood, Mike Myers, Michael Ondaatje, Dave Eggers, Phillip Pullman and Charlotte Gray, this anthology has something for everyone -- and more than you ever suspected you wanted to know. A list of lists from "The Book of Lists: 10 Notable Film Scenes Left on the Cutting Room Floor 10 Afflictions and Their Patron Saints 14 Nations with More Sheep Than People 5 Trips to the Canadian Wilderness That Ended in Disaster 10 ReallyBad Canadian Sports Teams 14 Last Words of Famous Canadians Kurt Browning's 9 Turning Points in Figure Skating History 7 Trial Verdicts That Caused Riots 12 Museums of Limited Appeal 10 Unusual Canadian Place Names That Start with a "B" 7 Well-Known Sayings Attributed to the Wrong Person 10 Celebrated People Who Read Their Own Obituaries Sloane's Jay Ferguson's 10 Perfect Pop Songs 13 Possible Sites for the Garden of Eden 9 Canadian Sports Stars Who Became Politicians First Sexual Encounters of 13 Prominent Canadians Four Foods Invented by Canadians 1. Processed Cheese -- J. L. Kraft grew up on a dairy farm in Stevensville, Ontario. While working as a grocer he was struck by the amount of cheese that was wasted on wheels of cheddar when the dried rind was scraped off to get at the fresh interior. He resolved to find a way to use this "waste" product, experimenting with double boilers, preservatives and cheddar. Eventually he found a way of stabilizing the dairy product that has come to be known as processed cheese. 2. Frozen Foods -- The technology to freeze food quickly and transport it to markets far away was developed in Halifax in 1928. Within a year, "ice fillets" were being sold to fish-deprived Torontonians who loved the taste and didn't seem to mind the high price tag. Despite this, the fishing industry and private companies lost interest and quickly mothballed the project. In 1930, a feisty American, Colonel Clarence Birdseye, claimed responsibility for developing frozen foods and promptly made a fortune. 3. Pablum -- Invented in 1930 by Dr. Alan Brown, assisted by researchers Theodore Drake and Fred Tisdall. The add-water babycereal revolutionized infant nutrition, and, of course, became synonymous with food that was bland and mushy. 4. Poutine -- Although many claim responsibility for the crowd-pleasing combination of squeaky cheese curds, canned gravy and french fries, it is generally agreed that the first order of this regional specialty of Quebec was served up by restaurant owner Fernand Lachance in 1957. Many variations on the original recipe exist including one deluxe version with foie gras served in Montreal's Pied de Cochon bistro.
