Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Album, Vol. 2: Men of Canada, or Success by Example, in Religion, Patriotism, Business, Law, Medicine, Education and Agriculture The plan adopted for the distribution of the first three volumes, is worthy of notice. Volume I. Takes in Western Ontario, while volume II. Is made up of men from the Province of Quebec and for the most part of Eastern Ontario, there being in this volume compara tively few faces from Ontario West. It is now intended that volume III. Shall contain other representative men from Quebec and Ontario, also take in a part of the Maritime Provinces, while the balance of that volume will likely be devoted to the Western part of the Dominion. Future volumes will be similarly arranged, until this art biographical directory is complete. Thus it will 'be seen that the canadian album is doing its part to link the various provinces into one harmonious whole, and doubtless its circulation will contribute largely to the creation of that national sentiment, which is so difficult of realization, in a widely scattered country like Canada. It is not easy to estimate the good influence in this direction, of a thousand portraits and as many pen pictures of that number of the best known men of Ontario, scattered in ten thousand or more homes, throughout the Dominion, and an equally proportioned number of portraits and pen pictures of the representative men of each of the other provinces similarly scattered throughout the land. But this is the task which the publishers have assumed, and this is the good work they are doing. The enterprise is costly and arduous, but it is making progress and succeeding beyond expectation, their efforts being generously seconded by the leading men of the country.
