The Canadian Portrait Gallery - Volume 3 (of 4)
The Canadian Portrait Gallery is a four-volume collection of biographical sketches by the journalist and historian John Charles Dent, published in Toronto between 1880 and 1881. This third volume continues the series with lives of politicians, judges, soldiers, clergymen, explorers and men of business from the French regime to Dent's own day, each written to accompany an engraved portrait in the original edition. Dent was a Reform-minded writer and did not hide his opinions, and the sketches are livelier than most reference works of the kind. For readers of Canadian history the volume offers a view of how the generation after Confederation chose to remember its founders. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
