Excerpt from Canadian History Readings, Vol. 1To make up for this want, a series of Leaflets will be published by the educational review, which will present the leading events and persons in our history in such a graphic way as to secure interest and at the same time give instruction. It is hoped that the effort to provide, at a low price, supplementary reading in Canadian history for schools will meet with encouragement at the outset, so that successive series of leaflets, covering all periods of our history and all sections of the Dominion, will be the result. Many leading writers of Canada have promised assistance for the present series, and the names of those who are contributing to the first number should be a guarantee of what may be expected in the future.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
