Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Canadian Parliamentary Guide and Work of General Reference for the Dominion of Canada, 1908: Being the 8th Year of the Reign of King Edward VII., And the 41st Year of the Confederation of Canada
The issue of the present edition of the canadian parliamentary guide has been delayed for several reasons. The undersigned purchased the copyright and material from Mr. Arnott James Ma urn during the spring of 1907, and being anxious to give is personal attention to a careful revision of every e and line of the book, that work occupied a great dpea of time. The various autumn bye-elections seemed to justify further delay, and, in view of the near approach of the New Year and the sessions of the Dominion and Provincial Parliaments, it was decided to hold back the printing of the final sections so that this edition might contain a record of all the changes in the various legislative bodies of Canada complete to the end of the year 1907.
It will be observed that the date of the final revision of the various sections is given in each case, and that a separate section of Occurrences during Printing, and also a few corri enda, are inserted immediately before the index at the en of the volume.
From a fairly extended experience in Canadian journal ism and other literary work, as well as from a few years service as the officer of the Dominion Parliament com missioned to supervise the issue of invitations and gener ally to arrange the details for parliamentary functions, the editor has learned that the value of this important book of reference depends upon its absolute accuracy. Every effort has been made to accomplish this end.
