Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada and Its Provinces, Vol. 9 of 22: A History of the Canadian People and Their Institutions; The Dominion, Industrial Expansion British North America is new in the sense of having come newly into touch with civilization and possessing natural resources ready to be used for the first time. Its people are new in the sense that they are a union of diverse elements now for the first time brought together into a mass that is growing into a nation. Corning freely from all parts of the civilized world, the newcomers applied the over owing capital of other lands and the tools and skill perfected elsewhere by the experience of centuries to the extraction of wealth from a territory only explored in fulness within the memory of man, and never fully utilized in any part of it for the service of man till the newcomers them selves appeared ou the scene. They found themselves con fronted with native inhabitants, not indeed well disposed to them, but unable to throw serious obstacles in their way. The same good fortune had aided the American Colonies, now the United States of America. In both cases the trowel has done more than the Sword for the conquest of the country.
