Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of a CanadianTo-day) and can vouch for the absolute truthfulness of the stories; also, that the people, places, and incidents are faithfully described and that the conditions of life then existing in the different parts of Canada, as por trayed by me in the pages of this book, were absolutely true at the time. I have written The Making of a Canadian at the urgent request of many of my most respected and honored friends, consisting of ministers of the gospel, lawyers, doctors, business men, and a prominent author. I was traveling through Louisiana, Texas, and other Southern states some time ago, and this particular author was my traveling companion. He had traveled extensively in all parts of the world. As my wanderings had carried me over a good part of Europe, as well as the United States and Canada, naturally our conversation drifted into reminiscences of personal experiences in our travels, and of course we had a great many to relate. After an absence of several months we returned to New York, and as we were saying good-bye he said: My dear boy, if I had at my disposal one-half of the interesting reminiscences of travel which you have related to me, I would most certainly group them together and make a book which would not only be interesting and instructive to young people, but highly entertaining to all who read it. Write it by all means. Many others have said the same thing, if not in the same words yet in substance the meaning was the same. Therefore I have written this book of stories, entitled The Making of a Cana dian, which is a truthful recital of the life and adven tures of Jack Arling, the hero of the book. I will feel.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Makers of Canadian Literature The boy was an omnivorous reader, readily absorbing the contents of every piece of printed matter on which he could lay his hands. As his parents belonged to the Free Church of Scotland, they objected to his reading of pro fane books, and tried to confine his reading to the Bible, Pilgrim's Progress, books of sermons and similar works. Family worship was conducted three times a day, and each time a chapter of the Bible was read in Gaelic, so the lad got a thorough grounding in the Scriptures.

But in coming into Canada has the British race lost its ambitions and mental vigor? If so, why?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Making Good: A Story of Northwest Canada Jack Young stood contemplating the sailing schooner Jersey as it lay in dock at Bristol. The name appealed to him, for Jersey had been his home for the sixteen years of his life. He had not run away from home; the old homestead had been sold a few weeks ago on the death of his father, and his mother had gone to make her home with an older brother, so Jack, with an inborn love of the sea, had decided to seek adventure and a living on its wide, rolling spaces. He walked over to the Jersey and found it agog with life - it was going out on the tide that night. Presently the huge figure of a man came down the gangway, and as he stepped on to the dock Jack walked over to him. "Excuse me, sir," he said, "but is there any chance of a job on your boat?" The man stopped, turned suddenly, and stood looking down at Jack for several seconds, then slowly removed his pipe from his mouth.

Download or read book English Canadian Literature Classic Reprint written by Thomas Guthrie Marquis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English-Canadian Literature AS Canada a voice of her own in literature distinct H from that of England P This question has attracted a good deal of attention in Canada and has been the subject of numerous discussions in home magazines and reviews. In Great Britain, however, the critical periodicals apparently have not yet recognized a purely Canadian1 literature. While these periodicals have frequently reviewed the literatures of Norway, Sweden, Russia, the United States, Spain, Italy and other countries, no British critic so far seems to have thought Canadian literary achievement of sufficient importance to treat it seriously as a whole or to look for its distinctive note. The United States has a literature fine and forceful, and though the language is the language of England the voice is her own: her writers have a vigorous national note, and narrate and sing the achievements of their ancestors and contemporaries in a manner characteristic of a nation that in so short a time has attained a giant's proportions. Has Canada such a voice? The answer is that she has not one of great volume, it is true; but, as we shall see, in poetry at least, the Canadian note is clear and distinct and the performance is of good quality and of permanent value.

To write clearly entails but little extra labour, the habit once acquired becoming second nature.

As a rule, it is best to leave these details to the printer; any little deviation desired may be easily remedied 1n the proofs with which the author is supplied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadians of Old Much elated with this discovery, and congratulating myself that I had more brains than the unhappy eleven of whom my friend had spoken, I hurry to my library, I furnish myself, perhaps all too appropriately, with a ream of the paper called foolscap, and I set myself to work. I write for my own amusement, at the risk of weary ing the reader who may have the patience to go through this volume. But, as Nature has made me compassionate, I will give this dear reader a little good advice. He had better throw away the unlucky book without taking the trouble to criticise it, which would be making it much too important, and would be, moreover, but wasted labor for the serious critic; for, unlike that Old Archbishop of Granada, so touchy on the subject of his sermons, of whom Gil Blas has told us, I am, for my part, blessed with an easy humor, and, instead of retorting to my critic I wish you good luck and very much better taste, I will frankly admit that my book has a thousand faults, of most of which I have a lively consciousness.

All the years that our family lived in Montreal, more than half my lifetime, the great church of Notre Dame seemed an irresistible magnet when ever we Chose a home. When one exigency or another, the need of more room, or escape from an intrusive factory, obliged us to find new quarters, we never went far; the new home, like the old, was sure to stand almost beneath the twin stark towers of Notre Dame, within sound of its oft-recur ring chimes. To-day, as the traveler approaches Montreal from the river, the old Norman church still looms high in the landscape. Fifty years ago, before any lofty structure stood its neighbor, N otre Dame dominated the city as St. Peter's, at this hour, as with a scepter, lifts itself above Rome.
