Stanford's Compendium of Geography and Travel

Abstract

I is inspiriting, in these times of national self-questioning, to turn to a book like this, in which a true Canadian tells with glowing pride of the magnificent and continuous growth of the great Dominion as an integral part of our Empire. The book has been written to replace an earlier edition by Dr. S. E. Dawson, published in 1897; and it shows that the interval has been characterised by a national vitality and progress even more vigorous than those of any previous period. Exploration pushed forward everywhere; old boundaries changed; new territories settled; population enormously increased; fresh industries established; railway and shipping enterprises of world-importance planned and carried through; old political difficulties swept away and others, formerly unthought of, now to the fore; and, through all, as a dominant note, an ever-increasing sense of Canadian unity and of Imperial responsibility!.
