Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketches of Celebrated Canadians, and Persons Connected With Canada: From the Earliest Period in the History of the Province Down to the Present Time
We do not presume to advance any claims to originality with respect to a great portion of its contents, derived as they have necessarily been from various home and local publica tions, a list of which is subjoined; nor do we claim for it any thing like perfection. We are sensible that it is imperfect, not only in its details, but in the exclusion from its pages of numerous names which ought to have figured in and graced the work; nor has justice, we fear, been done to many whose biographies do appear. These circumstances must not be ascribed to any intentional defect on our part but we must plead in excuse the inexperience and incapacity of youth in matters with which we have, perhaps, prematurely grappled, the di?iculty of obtaining accurate information, and the long period of time which the work covers.
