Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Essays and Addresses This book is published as a memorial volume. It is, in its way, a record of the period which has elapsed since the author took up his Canadian citizenship now nearly twenty years ago. But let it be said at once that he is under no illusions as to the reception it is likely to meet with or the vogue it is likely to enjoy. He is well aware that these addresses and papers may turn out to have mainly a local interest, and that some of them may be considered even out of date, especially since the sudden outbreak of this appalling world-war. But if their publication should be criticized as super uous and unnecessary, he would only plead in extenuation the fact that they form, to some extent, a record of institutional policy as well as of individual opinion, and that he has felt strongly on many of the subjects with which they deal.
