Life of Hon. Sir James Robert, K. C. M. G., LL. D., Senator of Canada (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Life of Hon. Sir James Robert, K. C. M. G., LL. D., Senator of Canada If it is, as I believe, wise and patriotic to pre serve a record of the lives of men, whose private character and public services have been such as to afford an example and inspiration to others, especially in a young country in the formative stage; no apology is needed for giving some account of a life so full of activity and usefulness as that of Sir James Robert Gowan, - Judge and Senator. I would, however, scarcely have undertaken such a work, had I not already been somewhat familiar with the subject, having on several occa sions written sketches of notable incidents in my Uncle's career; moreover, it pleased my good Uncle to make me his literary executor, bequeath ing to me all his manuscripts, letters and private papers. These sketches, revised and enlarged, appeared in a small volume in 1894, edited by A. H. U. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
