Excerpt from Canadian Historical Dates and Events, 1492-1915No more useful work could be ofiered to the student than the historical tables prepared by Mr. F. J. Audet. All those who have had occasion to make research have found how difiieult and tedious it is to obtain reliable information regarding the appointments of public men. Even with a large reference library at hand such as the Library of Parliament, or the Library of Congress, one soon discovers that hundreds of facts and dates can be verified only by consulting original records. The Public Records, unfortunately are not accessible to many. The majority are forced to make use of the sources within their reach. Consequently books of reference and biographies frequently lack the particular facts for which they are comulted. The task of assembling the information and of pre seating it in a convenient form has extended over many years. Few men beside Mr. Audet have had such exceptional. Opportunities for gathering the material requisite for such a volume. To the Public Libraries and the libraries of colleges and schools throughout the Dominion this book should be welcome, and indeed it should find a place in the library of every serious student of Canadian history.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
