Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: . . . heard them read in MS. were they issued in book form. His friends, like Jobs, have been ill-advisers. As a series of gossipy papers, ranging from the laying of a foundation stone to the Venezuela question, they were admirably suited to the columns of a weekly newspaper, but in a book they form neither a county history, nor a history of Canada, nor a treatise on Imperial Federation. No county in Western Canada has a more interesting history than Kent, but of the more striking social features of this history hardly a trace is to be found here. Whole pages are given to extracts from recent historians on the French capitulation, the Quebec Act, and other remote subjects, while we are left still in ignorance about the origin of the settlers in the district, the work of settlement, and the character of the soil and forest. The interesting experiment of Lord Selkirk is passed over in a few lines. Nothing is said of the once famous Buxton mission and the underground railway of which it was the terminus, nor of the size and length of occupation of the military reserve at Chatham. It is details of this character which we ask for in such a history. To reprint long extracts from the histories of Canada and Hazells Annual is not work of merit; to write a good local history would have been. The legal portion, with its list of judges and lawyers, is the most valuable. In Vikings of To-day, or Life and Medical Work Among the Fishermen of Labrador (London, 1895), Dr. Wilfrid T. Grenfell deals with one of the most uninviting spots on the face of the earth. Awesome are the descriptions of this vast, sterile, rocky peninsula, its forbidding shores, its fogs and icebergs. The population at the last census numbered, between white settlers and aborigines, 12, 527. This permane. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
