Excerpt from The Earliest Beginnings of Canada The success of the first of these historical booklets which has now reached its third edition, has encouraged the author to place in the hands of the public another of the series. The plan of the present work, as of the other, is more for the student of Canadian history in his novitiate, than for the critic who thinks that everything should be written up to his high standard of literary excellence. Indeed the verdict, on such elementary works as those of this series that is likely to be thought the most of, is the verdict that has been matured by noticing the character of the effect produced. If our young people are to become the possessors of the true patriotism that comes from knowledge and not from unthinking excitement, the knowledge that begets the true patriotism, if it is to be attractive, must be presented, as is attempted in these historical brochures, in the simplest phraseology and literary style.
