It is not without many misgivings that the following pages are now submitted to the people of Canada. Although we cannot but hope that to the student of g our country's history, they may in some. Respects be found inte resting, and to the general public, entertaining, as an attempt to pourtray the numerous characters in which a public man, rising among his fellows, may find himself placed during his role as an actor in connection with the events of his time. Yet the position of the Biographer, as a near rela tive, may, in many instances be construed into that of an egotist, where nothing of the kind was intended.
