INTRODUCTION.

IT

T is with pleasure and satisfaction we introduce, to patrons and friends, Vol. III. of the THE CANADIAN ALBUM. This is a Maritime Province volume, as well as of Manitoba and the NorthWest, reaching as far west as British Columbia, with a few scattering portraits from other parts of the Dominion. No province is fully represented in any one volume, but by the time the work is finished it is expected to include the entire territory of British North America, and fairly represent leading citizens of every profession and avocation. It is impossible to produce, in any work, the portrait and history of every worthy citizen in the Dominion, but the publishers and editor are striving to the utmost to make the work as complete as possible.

In order that this ideal may be reached, at least approximately, the churches will be canvassed. both in cities and towns, and also in rural districts, for the men who are deemed worthy of a place in these pages, and whose portraits and biographies are most likely to be of interest and value to the present and future generations.

It has been found, as was to be expected, that with few exceptions the representative men of the country are either officials, members or adherents of some religious body. In Canada, whatever may be said of the defects of the churches, the Church is the rallying place for the men who are carrying on the affairs of State, from the Dominion Parliament and Local Legislature down to the smallest village council, and from our leading universities down to the humble country school. The Church is the home of the men who are engaged in the moral and religious elevation of the masses, and in initiating and carrying on those measures of social reform which are necessary in every civilized country.

It will be found, therefore, that the pages of these volumes are largely taken up with representative members of churches and their pastors. In succeeding volumes it will, doubtless, be very much. the same, so that when the publication is completed it will embrace nearly all the clergymen of the Dominion, with many of their co-workers, and other representative men, a fact which makes it of almost priceless value not only in the present but in future years. The editor bespeaks for the publishers, in their arduous and costly undertaking, the hearty co-operation of the representative men in our churches, in helping to select the men who ought to be chronicled in its pages.

A work so extensive, and requiring the skill of so many hands, demands time and perseverance, but that it can be accomplished, with the aid of patriotic Canadians, the publishers have no reason to doubt.
