Inthedaysofhisfameandpower, Sir John used to remark, rather wist- fully, that he had had no boyhood. Ger- tainly, there is a radical economy of spacedevotedtohisearlyyearsinthe 'blographies, and the few pages are vex- atiously devoid of incident. Yet Sir Oliver Mowatt, school chum of Mac- donald’s at the Kingston grammar school, said at the unveiling of the Queen’s park monument in 1895: “He _ L‘â€" -.. -- Macdonald’s Boyhood Practically Unknown was as pOpular with the boys then as he afterwards became with the men.” Anditlshardtoimaglneareallypop- ular schoolboy who was not a ring- leader in all kinds of audacious pranks. Perhaps it is because the details of Sir John’s early life are so meagre that the writer treasures a delightful mem- ento of the Kingston - Agrarnmar_ school V-’ W v â€" vâ€"v v â€"â€" days with peculiar affection. It is a French grammar with a boyish inscrip- tion on the fly leaf : “John Maedonald’s property, Kingston, May 23rd. 1825.” For a lad of ten, the script is remark- ably neat and firm. In fact. all the signatures are. and there are six of them, five in English and one in French. Four are at the beginning of the book, two at the end. “Mister Yeremi” is also inscribed at the back, with no indication as to the identity of the gentleman. 0n the title page, a printsed capital “A” is ingeniously in- corporated into the signature, while the tasteful book plate of his mature years is pasted on the front inside cover. Either John was an unusually careful and immaculate scholar, orâ€"can it be possibleâ€"a very infrequent delver into the volume. It is still spotlessly clean, past.

As a matter of fact he was a clever Irish physician named Walter Henry, grad- uate of Trinity college, Dublin.

Indies, and with his beloved 66th Regi- ment at St. Helena during the exile of Napoleon. He assisted at the autOpsy of the famous Emperor, and his des- cription of that morbid task is as pre- cise and scientific as his dissection of the soldier’s character was penetrating and caustic. On the battleship “Rom- ney,” 50 guns, he sailed in 1827, for Canada, where fie 66th had been ord- 8 ered. Henry w Montreal, Kin , and, for some months at Toronto.

Of W. L. Mackenzie, leader of the dis- turbance in Upper Canada, and Tor- onto‘s first mayor, he speaks with un- qualified disgust, the eyes of that worthy reminding him of his old friend, the cobra, of India. Packed with incident and color, written in a Vigorous yet graceful style, a treasury of contemporary information about our country a century ago, the book, even without the bookplate and signature of Sir John A. Macdonald, is a most tas- cinating and enlightening work, and cries aloud for republication.

The speaker pointed out that it is Christ who relates religion to life, and that the great essential of religious conviction is not demonstration but ex- perience.
