In the days of the Canada Company.—A Story of the Huron Tract and a View of the Social Life of the period, 1825-1850, by Robina and Kathleen Macfarlane Lizars, with an intro- duction by G. M. Grant, D. D., L.L. D., Prin- cipal of Queens University. It is with great pleasure that we call the attention of our readers and ot Canadians generally to the above hook, which has just been issued by William Bt iggs. Toronto. It is from the pens of two Stratford townswomen, of whole that city has good reason to be proud, fpr they have shown themselves to be possessed of literary gifts of an excep- tionally high order, and have won a wide recognition and a place among the foremost names in Canadian liter- atru•e. "In the Days of the Canada Com- pany," is a hook of no mete local in- terest. It is a work which by its fine qualities of style and the human interest that breathes ft om its pages, as well as by the extent and value of the histori- cal information contained in it, must inevitably attract and hold the atten- tion of every reader, whether he have any previous knowledge of the subject or not. From beginning to end the charm of the book holds us. If the names and incidents are familar, we are, of course, doubly interested ; but even those readers to whom the locali- ties are unknown, and whose ideas on the early history ot this nest :of their country are limited to a few vaguely- rernemhered facts, must feel that hence- forth to them the Canada Company is no longer merely a name, and that the famous 1-luron Tract and its first set- tlers have become as the scenes and peopleamongwhom theirown liveshaave been passed. To have clone this is no srnall achievement. Any faithful and in- dustrious student can aInn,ss a collection of facts, and anybody with a reason- able sense of order and a fair command of language can present thew so that they may he read and 4)roperly under- stood. But to infuse into these facts the spirit of a pnhing humanity; to breath into these dry hones the breath of life, so that the men and women of those far-off tithes stand up and live and move before our eyes, with all their joys and griefs. their passions and their warm human personalities— this is the rare gift which has poen given to the chosen few ; for this there is needed a spark of that divine fire which men call genius. And while, "In theDa-s as � • t data, •oto for1 collector t t�e of the Canada Company" is a mine of information, the result of years of care- ful, patient study and research, whose value to future historians cannot he estimated, to the student of literature and of life, it is couch more. All life is history and all true history is life. One glimpse sltch as is here given us. at the life of a period, at, the struggles and trials, the failures or surceases which made up the daily round of the 'men and women who composed it, will do more to open 0111* minds and inspire us with a teal and intelligent love for the study of Dur country's annals than many volumes of barren statistics. One little concrete incident 0r anecdote, one striking personal rha.racterist.ic- strongly brought into play, is of more value than all the abstract information in the world. For it is a knowledge of life, and not, a knowledge of facts, which is education in the true sense of 1, he word. A slight sketch of the principal con- tents of the book will gave some idea of its scope '1 he ripening chapter very fittingly takes a broad outlook at the events which tvere taking glare in the odd world during the fir,4ta quarter Of this century, and nt the progressive "Spirit oft heli mos" I hat. led Romany to leave their homes and strike mit for themselves in the new and compara- tively unknown regions of Western Canada.

The father of the Canada Company was Johu Galt, a 11aule familiar to every student of history and of litera- ture (as well, for he vas the author of man well known works. "In 1825 Galt -had put the final words to '"The List of the Lairds," and set sail for Canaria with his grant of 1,100,000 acres of land in his pocket, and his 1)1au1 busy with emigration schemes." In the second chapter we are given a most interesting sketch of the life and cl1 I Ll•ter 02 the: roan whose position at the head of what he himself called "the best and greatest celouial project. ever formed" drew upon hint Much public attention and criticism, both at hone and in Cenada. .The difficulties with which he had to contend were never fully understood by those who hail the supreme management" of the Company'. Galt "was not a roan easily daunted by adverse,,. circumstances; but even with his power of grasping a situation, tie felt himself sorely handi- capped by the administration of the affairs of a concern which haps capital of nue Million pounds or more, while .the Board denied him the indulgence nI bringing out even one clerk to tts)iyt him in petty details." He had to fight against, greats disadvantages and mis- representation, besides which, in spite of his undoubted business ability, his literary temperament often stood in the way of his success—frons a financial point of view. "Nor had he a proper regard for filthy lucre. 'There have been genuises who have appreciated lucre, even if filthy ; hut Mr. Galt was not one of theta. A man of the w•or Id, conversant with the habits, thoughts and customs of *civilized so- ciety he was still essentially not a a man of the world•, one of his character•ists being a total 'Matte - predation of pecuniary matters; his interest only being properly roused where the comfort of his family was concerned." Nevertheless he left, behind hits a none which will not be forgotten while Canadian history is read ; and we are indebted to the authors of this book (or a clear and vivid conception of the roan as he really was. "While it cannot be denied that Galt was open to the charge of being possessed by a huge egotism, n close look at the man will show that his was the egotism which is part of Most great characters. A good man with a great character, Galt narrowly escaped being a great man with a great character." "Candid in all things," ne 'owns that, his 'ruling passion is love of fame,' and 'the high faith in his powers when young' did not desert him through the sorrows of later life. A certain part of the tauie he sought to attain now seems to be his, and Canada contains many testimonials to bis correct prevision, The man of whom a hook of reference says, 'In 1834 he came back W Scotland poverty- stricken and broken in health,and after "Thio Lung -raga, was a bociely ulnae up of world-wide [invellws, some of [Ileal satiated, some Lit 1111111 belonging to Those who beyond seas go Will sadly find They change their climatal only, not their 111111d; barristers 1' liglish anti Scotch, of whose Contemporaries Scott had said, 'of all bright, intelligent society, that of bar- risters is the best ;' clergymen who Liked wine and curds and were bate to their tasks because the 1 was mali- ciously put hack to allow the game to be finished ere the faint sounds of dawn shouldbe heard; soli, ut• 11141101e. and of military men, all ignwalnt of the first requirements of the band ,and life, whose friends addressed letters of in- troduction to 'J. W., Lake Ontario;' wen whose first season rondo them weary of life thr.:ugh the torture of dreariness, or who took such Measure of relief that they found wrong -doing was not that alone but fully also ; re• tired Military men and sea captains whose half -pay was but au excuse for less labor; a few who were explorers, hound to discover and subdues and with theta, those who played at pion- eering as at a new game, musing, dreaming, ,and using the worlds, old and new, as a panorama got up for their view—more liberal in criticism, abuse and condemnation, than in the labor of observation and intelligent judgment upon new-found exigencies of life." In those early days "neighbors were too scarce to he coldly or haughtily treated. They had hewn then' way side by side into the busk, and stood afterwards on one common level. There never yet was a more blessed sight in a new land than the face of an old friend; while with new ones, the woes of a common martyrdom Made quick acquaintanceship and of a strength to outlast a generation." In spite of difficulties these scattered settlers had their social gatherings. Balls there were in winter, when "the belles and beaux were packed into ponderous sleighs, built by local car- penters, with plenty of foot -room' for the hot bricks, bot bottles and heated cordwood sticks—arks on runners"; and picnics and garden parties in the summer, "the girls in merino gowns, or frel(h and frilled prints." And if the older generation pined for the homes they had left and struggled to preserve in the wilderness, the style of living and refinement amid which many of them had been brought up, the younger on,es, uudlscouraged by privations, danced and sang and enjoyed themselves as blithely as. if their days had not been spent in hard and unaccustomed toil. There is an amusing account of "the only piano in the neighborhood on that side of a badly bridged river. Neigh- borhood was a wide word; so when parties were given within twelve miles or so, a sleighload of young beaux would come to borrow rt. Another story is of the use to which the "ver- satile frying pan" was put by a solitary pioneer. "'The man had been clearing in loneliness for a couple of weeks and suffering repeated shocks of paralysis, was homesick for a neighbouring. So, died at Greenock, .April 11, 1839,' is the 1 as Sunday approached, he determined man who did for western Scotland 1 to make•a visit. To wash his own shirt what Scott did for the east ; and it is good to know that this fact is not for- gotten in these days of appreciation of 'A Window in Thrums, and 'Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush.' There were some friends who asserted that Galt's name would live." The most striking figure in the book and the one round which the chief in• terest centres, is that of the famous "Tiger" Dunlop. From the moment we are introduced to him "as he stands in the Company's office at York," in his homespun garments, plaid and Scotch bonnet, with his deep, hearty laugh and broad Scotch accent, we feel that we know and love the man ; and when we close the book, after following the leaden coffin on that sad journey from Lachine to the cairn on the Maitland hill, the memory we hold is that of a personal friend. His feelings are drawn with a kindly sympathy, aently hu- morous touch, which never loses sight of the true heart beneath that rough exterior. The chapter devoted to the household at Gairbraid, composed of the Duette., his brother the Captain, nein t he Captain's wife "Lou"—a unique and original trio—is one of the most readable and entertaining in the hook. Here we see the "Tiger" at home, pre- siding over his own Round Table, and pressing upon his guests the ample hospitality of those times. He had an enormous liquor stand, the bottles of which he irreverently termed the Twelve Apostles. "It was simply a ester t ) o traveller (n wheels, het 1s built I G int hold twelve gallons of liquid, contain- ing a dozen large bottles from a con- verted military chest, each inensuring a good sixteen inches by nine, with a half -pound stopper, in itself a handful.

When hot punct) was ton hot to be g11nffed it was the fashion to cool it with cold whiskey." Many a humor- ous anecdote ilhtatrative of the Doc- tor's kindly nature anal love of tun, en- livens the pages of this spicy chewer. "When the butter would not come the dearc Doctor would take ,a sixpence and put it het ween the leaves of 1,1)11 hle, then lay it on the churn, and in a minute the butter would come. it never foiled."

He knew it was the proper thing to boil clothes in wash- ing ; hut he did net consider the pro- perties of many layers of pork grease. That Sunday visit was not paid." Hut to he fully appreciated the hook roust be read in its entirety. The chapters mentioned, and those entitled "Canada as the Company Found It," and "The Face of the Land," contain a wealth of Material and afund of amus- ing and pathetic anecdote which would require much more extended notice than this to do theta justice. A word must he said about the authors' des- criptive powers. If the characters are hrought vividily before us, the scenes in which they moved are not less so. All through the hook there are bits of word -painting so exquisit. that we cannot forbear quoting one or two, "Summer came and the festoons were bowers of green ; the cake, maples and beeches, all so many tokens of riches spread into leaf. In sunny places the wild plum burst into snow- drifts, white as those just gone ; and from its hiding place the Canadian rossignol sang to the exploring party, "Ha-ard times in Kennedy, Kennedy, (' `. I h , all the forests ; andat n t a ., Kennedy" g swarmed with myriads of scattered lights, fireflies, with which the glow- worms and flies of Europe could not compare." "`)onset, with its glories, recalled theca to order ; and in silence they welched a sight, t•he fame of which had brought many travellers to the Huron banks. Mountains and castles of molten color in as great arc of fading light were handed with royal purple ; pink hack -grounds faded to silver, which changed again into violet behind e floating moon.

"111 as whiter evening, In that, 1we• striking froulent '6wixt, the gloaming and the mirk, the traveller seems 1n hang half-wnv h(•ttveen the sky 11)11 snow, while the hast flame from the sun 14 swallowed up by Huron beyond its line of ice." But. enough has been said to give Dur readers Renu idea of this portion of the hook. Stories of log -hat building 911(1 hat raisings, interesting notes nn church matters and rnlili14, personal rpnlini4censes of old residents, and several exr•elhent, illustrations of both pest and present, slake lip a chapter that will he found full of interest.. We quote its closing pharagrl.phs.

"On earth peace, good will to men."
