Download or read book The Story of the Canadian People Classic Reprint written by David Merritt Duncan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Canadian People The aim of this book is to tell the story of our country simply, yet without sacrificing historical con tent to simplicity. The story is one of colonisation. It tells of failure and success; of French failure through the folly of absolutism, monopoly, and feudalism; of British success through the wisdom of self-government, freedom, and equality. Canada's past is richly stored with those picturesque incidents which make history fascinating as well as instructive. From the blunders of the French crown and the greed of chartered com panics, the reader turns with pleasure to the deeds of martial governors, devoted missionaries, and freedom loving coure'urs de while, later on, his mind finds relief from the serious problems of autonomy and union in the simple scenes of pioneer life, and in the adven tures of explorer or fur-trader of the West, where the romance of earlier days still lives.

We still sometimes call Europe the Old, and America the New World, but the ease with which we can send news, or travel from one to the other, prevents our thinking much of the great distance between them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Canada, Vol. 8: 1808-1815 This volume contains the narrative of the war of 1812, to the ratification, at Washington, of the Treaty of Ghent, on the i8th of February, 1815. Although the events of the years antecedent to the war cannot be recognized as having been its immediate cause, I have deemed it essential, from their importance, to relate them at some length. As in the preceding volumes, I have given references to the authorities on which my statements are based. To admit of the verification of any disputed point. I have endeavoured in all cases to avoid controversy, and have confined myself to a narra tive of the incidents, as they are presented by contemporary documents.

Download or read book Canada and the Canadian Question Classic Reprint written by Goldwin Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada and the Canadian Question Where the subject is so complex and so disjointed, to devise a satisfactory arrangement is not easy. Writers and readers of the history of the Dominion too well know how wanting it is in unity. For the special purpose of this work, which is neither elaborate description nor detailed history, but the presentation of a case and of a problem, it seemed best first, briefly to delineate the Provinces, which are the factors of the case, then to sketch their political history, leading up to Confederation, then to give an account of the Confederation itself, with its political sequel, up to the present time, and finally to propound the problem. The general reader, if any one answering to that description ever takes up this work, may skip the chapter on the Federal polity, the subject of which to the reader specially interested in Colonial institutions will probably seem the most important of all. To impart anything like liveliness to a discussion of the British North America Act one must have the touch of Voltaire.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Canada This series of short histories is meant to supply a want which seems often to be felt for brief accounts of the rise of our colonies and dependencies, which though written on a moderate scale are yet more Vivid and detailed than is possible when colonial history is treated only incidentally in the course of that of Great Britain. The task of the present writer has been rendered comparatively easy, as regards the earlier history of Canada, by the invaluable works of Francis Parkman.

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. He therefore felt called upon to ask the Governor on what ground he claimed the position of President, and what new use he designed to make of it; for although as Intendant he was the third person in the colony, he claimed to be the first President of the Council.

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 2018-03-10 with total page 324 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.

Download or read book The Book of New Canadians Classic Reprint written by D. J. Dickie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of New Canadians The Book of New Canadians contains stories told by the children of twenty different countries. The stories de scribe the homes of about half the nations representatives of which have become citizens of Canada. Realising that it would be impossible in a book of this size to tell stories about all the different peoples now living in Canada, I consulted the latest census report of the Dominion Government. In the report the different nationals are listed in the order of the numbers resident in Canada. I chose the first twenty listed. Equally interesting and instructive stories about the other countries and their peoples could be told. Should these be called for a second book will, no doubt, be prepared. It is perhaps unnecessary to explain why stories of I France have not been included in the book. Since 1763 immigration from France has been very small, and as for the French Canadians they are much more anciently Canadian than the British Canadians.

Will become what her sons make her. At the same time it is hoped that the little work will be. A boon to teachers who are burdened with the many subjects of the school curriculum and the thousand interests of the school room.
