Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Canada: From Its First Discovery to the Present Time
To enable us to judge accurately of the present, and regard our national future with confidence, 'a correct acquaintance with the past is an absolute necessity. To the great mass of the Canadian people such a study has hitherto been almost an impossibility, from the fact that what might be properly called a history of their country did not exist. The author designs to supply, as far as possible, this great want in Canadian literature, and faithfully to depict the past as an aid to illuminate the present, and as an index to the future. In carrying out this purpose he does not intend to restrict himself to a mere detail of political occurrences, and would also illustrate the social progress of the people.
It is true that many books have been published which supply detached portions of Canadian history, that several excellent statistical works have been compiled from time to time, and that much valuable information relative to this country may be gleaned from the writings of travellers and residents but it is also equally true that these are not accessible to the general reader. The author will endeavour to arrange methodically whatever of value is to be gleaned from those sources, and to present the people of Canada with a useful and impartial history of their country, from its discovery to the present time.
