Excerpt from The Tour of Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York Through the Dominion of Canada in the Year 1901 The recent presence amongst us of the Heir Apparent to the Throne is one of those momentous events which may fitly be regarded as forming an epoch in the history of the Dominion. It has been thought desirable therefore that a record of the royal progress throughout Canada should be compiled, and this duty has been assigned to one whose connection with the preliminary arrangements, and whose presence at many of the principal functions of the tour, are considered to qualify him for its adequate discharge. How far this expectation has been justi fied, must be for the future to determine. The writer avails himself of this opportunity to express his acknowledgments to Maj or Maude, Lieutenant Colonel A. P. Sherwood, lieutenant-colonel Frederick White, Mr. E. F. Jarvis, Mr. D. A. Mclaughlin, Government Photo grapher, the mayors of various cities and towns, and others to whom he has had recourse for information, always cheerfully given. He is under especial obligations to Dr. S. E. Dawson, the King's Printer, for much kind assistance in the selection of photographs and in other matters connected with the prepara tion of the work. He desires to add that for all expressions of opinion in this narrative he alone is responsible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
