HANDBOOK OF CANADA

Issued by the Local Committee on the Occasion of the Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science at Toronto, August, 1924The book contains no article on the history of Canada, but, whenever possible, the various subjects are presented historically in order to trace development as well as to indicate present conditions. All the articles are brief, and are intended for the general reader rather than for the expert in the subject treated. For those desiring detailed information a bibliography of different subjects is inserted at the back of the volume.The inadequacy of the volume is fully realised but it is hoped that it may, at least, draw attention to some of the outstanding features of Canadian life and achievement.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
