The Wentworth society owes its origin to the recognition of historic ground of Ontario has fallen. The Ontar'io'forms'the battle ground upon which vepeoples have strug led and fought for residenfs of the United States. and lastly the Canadians--and when last year Ontario celebrated its centenary it was felt that no better opportunity could be chosen for giv- ing permanence tothe memories which liv- ing men possess of the struggles which should make this Waterloo of Canadian liberties ` sacred for all time in British-American his- tory. `In the society s journal for 1892 we find manytvaluable contributions.

Wank AF flmnan nnnnr: luau a merit and nuerty. . _ Each of these papers has a merit and interest of its own,_`but to the English reader, which Senator Mclnnes is making to present a birds-eye view of the momentous periods in;Canadian history. In thepresent papers he takes a rapid glance at some of the more important Canadian events down to the con- quest of Canada and Treaty of Paris in 1763. He recalls in brief outline the circum- stances under -which British North America _had its beginnings in settlement and colon- _ ization under French rule in the sixteenth and .sev_enteenth centuries, and` touches lightly upon ;the_unfull1ed possibilities that lay in .such events as the,o`er of Sir David Kirk, the grantee of the Newfoundland settle- ment, to King Charles for an asylum in that island, where he might, like King Arthur, heal himself of his grievous wounds. vWe are reminded, too, of Champlai'n s noble `achievements, and ot how much worry would have been s ared British and colonial statesmen had t e'_`advice of `Pitt been followed and noshare of the North Ameri- can sheries been left to France when the Anglo-French peace of the last century was under negotiation. The early pioneers in the basin of the St. Lawrence, the Acadians, and the native races of Canada, afford other themes for Senator Maclnnes` pen in the course of this sketch, and it is to be noted that he follows other historical writers in rendering tothe Hudson s Bay company a through long years it won the condence ot the aborigines of North America, and made the assimilation ot the Red Indian in Canada so much more peaceful a process than it has roved to be in the United States. in uture contributions Senator Maclnnes will no doubt pursue his subject down to a" later date.` In so doing he will render us all a valuable service.--Lon(lon, England, Cana- dian Gazette. 1 whose knowledge is too often fragmentary, ; especial value will attach to the attempt. meed of praise for the prohity by which -rye uuuuurupuvw.
