and in the elucidation of his theme he has brought to bear a wide range
of general reading. We welcome its appearance as fresh evidence that
Canada is attractive in England, and have pleasure in commending it to
our readers. — Montreal Gazette,
The work should be on the shelves of every public library. — People,
A better book within its limits could not be desired.— J^o^^iw^/wtw
Chia/rdiam,
Mr. Greswell, in his appendix, presents a large gathering of important
data, not easily to be found accessible elsewhere ; and we do not doubt
that the book, so full, yet so minute in many respects, can only have the
effect of awakening in the hearts of the new generation a deep and abiding
interest in Canada and the Great West. — Nonconformist,
The history of Canada well deserved to be written, and Mr. Greswell' s
Digitized by VjOOQ IC

volume must be allowed to be a thorough, painstaking, and carefdl effort.
He has taken a sufficiently broad view of his subject, and not content
with giving us the mere annals of the great Dominion, has considered its
colonisation and development in relation to the Imperial growth of Great
Britain. — Newcastle Leader,
It will be read, and it deserves to be read, chiefly for the political know*
ledge of Canada and of the development of Colonial Government which it
brings easily within the reach of many ; for only upon a broad base of such
knowledge among men at home can a real federation be built. — Scotaman,
A most acceptable service in the cause of public enlightenment is being
rendered by the Educational Committee of the Royal Colonial Institute
in promoting the issue of a series of works illustrative of the history of
our self-governing Colonies. Mr. Greswell takes occasion to discuss the
relations between the Canadian Dominion and the United States, and
assigns some strong reasons why the latter should continue to prefer
federal relations with Great Britain to absorption into the Bepublic. —
Scottish Leader.
It is a work which comes fittingly at a time when the eyes of England
are intent on a further great stride in colonisation. Altogether a book to
be conmaended for its purpose and for the ability and lucidity with which
that purpose is accomplished. — Sheffield Telegraph,
There are many features in this book which make it unusually interest-
ing. — Toronto Empire.
This volume is issued under the auspices of the Boyal Colonial Institute.
This should suffice as a guarantee of its general excellence. — Young Men* a
Review,
AVe would gladly see Mr. Greswell's volume and those which are to
follow it in daily use in every college and school in the United Kingdom.
We have hitherto kept ourselves too much to the history of our own little
isles, forgetful of the fiEhct that the Britains beyond the seas also have
histories full of lessons for our enlightenment. — Dadly Chronicle.
If the series maintains the high standard of excellence displayed in the
present volume it will prove a valuable aid to the study of our Colonial
Empire. — St. Ja/mes^s Gazette.
The Boyal Colonial Institute, in acting as godfiebther or godmother to
this family of publications, has established another claim to be regarded
as a potent factor in working out the destiny of Great Britain and her
Colonies. By placing such books on our school lists, an important step
will be taken towards dispelling the ignorance which has been so
frequently fatal in the past, and which, even up to the present, tends to
jeopardise Imperial interests in the Colonies. — CaTutdian Qaeette,

Appendix. 837
Geography of the Dominion of Canada and Newfoundland,
By the Bev. W. Pabr Gbeswell, M.A., F.R.C.L
The volume is a healthy sign of the increasing interest taken by the
people of the Mother Country in colonial affairs and colonial questions. —
Times.
One of the best works of the kind published. The book is not a mere
compilation of facts, but also a real geographical study which, thoroughly
mastered, will make the vast extent of our North American Empire
familiar to, and realisable by, the intelligent reader. — Nottingham
Ouardia/n,
, . . This is a book which cannot fail to be useful to students, teachers,
and traders with ourliVestern Colonies. — Scottish Leader,
This is a fairly interesting and concise geographical study of Canada and
Newfoundland, and is intended to form a supplement to the brief his-
torical study of those two countries which was lately issued from the
Clarendon Press. It is a useful little work. — Colonies a/nd India.
It has evidently been most carefully compiled, is well up to date, and
contains a vast mass of information that will be new to most readers. —
Bookseller.
This work has been prepared in furtherance of the excellent scheme of
the Eoyal Colonial Institute to supply schools with the latest and most
trustworthy information concerning Greater Britain beyond the seas. It is
uniform with and supplementary to the short history of these countries
recently issued by the Clarendon Press. — Review of Reviews.
It enables the reader to iomn an accurate idea of the wealth, extent, and
resources of the country. Not only are the physical features and climate
of Canada and Newfoundland given, but there are excellent articles on the
industries, the social progress, and the wealth of the Dominion and the
Island. — Manchester Cowrier,
The arrangement of the matter in well-defined paragraph form is cal-
culated to increase the usefulness of the volume both for educational and
reference purposes, and no effort would seem to have been spared to ensure
accuracy. The Newfoundland chapter should especially prove of service
at a time when the affairs of our oldest Colony occupy so much of the
thoughts of British statesmen. — Caruidian Gazette.
Special books treating of individual countries are multiplying. This
production is one of the most interesting, for it combines beauty of style
with ample treatment ; and while a large body of material is offered, the
drier details are grouped together, and the reader led on by a series of
charming descriptions. — Journal of Education.
The information, carefully collected up to date as to climate and popu-
lation, will be valuable to the merchant as well as to the emigrant and
student. The book will probably be as popular in Canada itself as it ought
to be on this side of the YfoXQi,— Bedford Observer.

838 Appendix,
Tho Eoyal Colonial Institute is doing good service to the Empire in the
publication of a series of volumes relating to the historical development of
the several British Colonies. This work is so skilfully put together and
so full of interest that many editions may safely be predicted for it. —
Cape Times,
It is an elaborate and carefully written treatise on Canadian geography,
in ten chapters. This book, published under the auspices of the Boyal
Colonial Institute, will be most helpful to all who intend going to Canada,
or who seek information regarding that important gem in the Imperial
Crown of Great Britain. — Asiatic Quarterly Beview.
On the whole the book reads smoothly, and the descriptions of sites and
scenery are well chosen and graphic. The distribution of the population
is treated admirably, and contrasted in a singularly able manner with that
prevailing in the Australian Colonies. Mr. Greswell has evidently spared
no pains to secure the most recent and exact statistics of the various pro-
vinces, and to put them together in a way calculated to attract and
inform the intending emigrant. — Scottish Geographical Magazine.
The author has, in a comparatively small compass, compressed a '
quantity of valuable information, and at the same time succeeded in
avoiding the tendency peculiar to writers on kindred subjects, to digress
and bore the reader with a needless amounb of comment on various things
quite out of place in a work of this character.— Jfcrcan^ Guc^dian,
