Author Description

Excerpt from Carols of Canada: Etc., Etc <p>Many are the tender memories which unite me to the olden land a land for ever hallowed as the quiet resting-place of the loved dead, and the once happy home of a love-encircled childhood. Still, I cannot but deplore the many evils existing therein; more especially that evil of a system which places the greater number at the mercy of the fewer - the de basing system of extensive landlordism; a system which may have suited in those former periods when kingdoms and positions were mainly dependent upon force of arms, but for which there can be no plausible apology in this progressive, and pretentiously human izing age and if any words of mine shall induce the tyrant-crushed and woe-olipressed of other climes to raise their eyes towards the setting sun, and to seek a home in this Canada, - this God-appointed haven, these words shall not have been penned in vain. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
