Excerpt from The Parliamentary Guide and Work of General Reference 1898-9: For Canada, the Provinces, Northwest Territories and Newfoundland Empire events find a congenial place in such a work, and those desiring a record of such happenings as the Colonial Conferences of London, and the Australian Federation Movement, will approve of their publication here, in view of the fact that they are to be found in a permanent form nowhere else. It will be the aim of the compiler to make this a book of dates as well as of facts and figures. There is no enquiry so Often made as the question of dates, for once that is answered it is easy to know where to look for particulars of a certain event. The resolutions of the Dominion Liberal Convention of 1893 are published here, for the reason that the official report of the convention is out of print and cannot be had, though often required. The B. N. A. Acts are accessible to very few, and their incorpora tion here will be found of great value. The Franchise Act, which is printed in full, is a copy of the statute, and to all those having to do with the preparation of voters' lists and elections, it will prove a valu able reference.
