The Canadian Magazine Of Politics Science Art And Literature Vol 16

Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, Vol. 16: November, 1900 to April, 1901, Inclusive Nineteen years of murderous cold and mosquitoes, Indians, dog-trains and half-breeds in the winter, and it is winter nearly all the time, living on frozen fish; for nineteen years cut off almost entirely from the civilized world except when The Boat made its an nual trip with stores and letters to that far-away post. Yet the north has a strange fascin ation for many men. They grow to like the loneliness, the savagery of it however much they may curse it, yet they are restless until they get back to it. But Captain Glenn declared that he had turned his back upon it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, Vol. 51: May 1918 to October 1918 Inclusive I knew at once that it was not a camp-meeting, for there was no sug gestion of the fervour and solemnity which distinguished such events. There was occasional laughter and cheering, but I thought that some of those who listened did not like the behaviour of their neighbours. I was interested in the statement of the speaker that wherever he had gone throughout the county he found that someone else had been there, and that many calves and steers had been bought at very high figures. Who was this mysterious person? Why should he buy calves and steers? Why should be pay such high prices? Finally the speaker sat down to much clapping and cheering. Another man arose, and there was even more cheering. As he spoke it was remarkable that he agreed with nothing that the first speaker had said, while those who had been silent now became happy and demonstrative. But the light was breaking. I recalled many a fireside controversy, and almost instinctively I. Knew what game they were playing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, Vol. 47: May, 1916, to October, 1916, Inclusive Thus was formed a conspiracy which was to bear remarkable fruit. Having perfected their plans and sworn eternal fealty, the two plotters sailed for the United States in the early part of 1812. I neglected nei ther promises nor hopes, boasts the bogus Count, and at last master of the correspondence and the official despatches, I reached the continent of America. In his memoir and letters Soubiran takes credit for having not only in Spired but negotiated the betrayal, and it would appear that for the most part Henry was content to remain in the background, while his accomplice beguiled the authorities at Washing ton.

Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, Vol. 36: November, 1910, to April, 1911, Inclusive I had the greatest respect for Peel as a thoroughly wise and patriotic statesman, while I loathed the blackguard combination, as Wel lingtou justly called it, of Othee seeking Whigs and Corn Law Tories, the work of Disraeli, by which the Peel Government was overthrown. Disraeli, who had fawned on Peel in his Letters of Runnymede, now turned round and assailed him with rancour and slanderous abuse.

Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, Vol. 21: May, 1903, to October, 1903, Inclusive The great charm of Shanghai lies in the constant sudden transition from Europe to China and back again. From the narrow, picturesque shopping streets, with curious signs and carvings of quaint device, and their men and women in costumes of varied hue, it is but a step or two and you are in England, France or America, as the case may be. Each has her Colony, and in each the customs of the country are distinctly apparent. England and things English, however, have the predominance. My first impressions of Shanghai were obtained, as those of most people, from the comfortable scat of a locally built carriage. The hire of a smart victoria, a rubber-tired brougham, two ponies - to allow of frequent changing - two "mafoos" in flowing gaily-trimmed gowns and capes, red-tasselled headgear and streaming pigtails, amounts to only thirty dollars per month. The natural consequence is that Europeans seldom walk. Driving on Bubbling Well Road in the afternoon, especially on Hunt days, and seeing the great number of well-dressed women, handsome men and fine horses, it is difficult to believe oneself out of England. The connecting link, about a mile long, between the fashionable Bubbling Well Road and the Bund or river front, is Nankin Road, or, as it is generally called, the "Maloo." This is lined most of the distance with native shops which gradually give place to some very handsome European ones, ending at Shanghai's greatest glory, her Bund. Handsome clubs, banks, hongs and residences embellish one side, whilst between it and the river lies a beautiful stretch of green sward and shade trees.
