country, that any publication in which his name appears is a
sufficient guarantee of its value, its accuracy, and the
interesting nature of its contents. No work ever published in
Canada is more worthy of a cordial reception from our people than

and women, 'who, stripped of their rights and property during the
war, * * * were driven from the homes of their birth and of their

said to have appeared in various provincial newspapers.
