MEMORIES OF CONFEDERATION.
A valuable contribution .toCanadian
history was msule by Sir, Richard
Cartwright in his address to the t'ana-
dian flub of Ottawa on • :Some
Memories of l'i)nfedenetion.'' The
fact that Sir 'Hichanl was 1 ' .elf a
partieiprri in the events whish im-
mediately precedent the unient of Den,
together with iris fine sense of propor-
tion end his admirable power of de-
scription, enabled hint to bring the
conditions of those crilicel days vivid-
ly before his hearers. Young Come-
dians especially ehould read his ad-
dress, as it presents one of the most
interesting chapters in'the history of
our tx)untry, and perhnpit no other liv-
ing man can speak with equal author-
ity on the subject. •
