It is "CANADA" by J. Bartlet Brebner (Ambassador Books Ltd.) and it is edited by Allan Nevins and Howard M. Ehrmann, as are all books in this series. This handsome volume on "CANADA" provides a thrilling pageant of Canadian history from the search for a northwest Pas- sage to the triumph of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Here is the in- tegrated story of a vast country when pioneers. The late J. Bartlet Brebner was Canadian-born and was Gouver- peur Morris Professor of History at Columbia University for more than 30 years.

The British Isles, either directly or through the United States, furnished about 48 per cent. Continental Europe provides practically all the rest, and these "New Cana- dians" move gradually into the English rather than the French- speaking culture.

He says: ". .. clearly Canada is an extraordinary country, a standing rebuke to the habit in Americans and Britons, her close partners, of taking her for grant- ed. Many observations from out- side have been frying to tell the world this for generations, but nearly all of them, for instance Walt Whitman and Ruper Brooke, have tried to do it on the basis of some travel, some conversa- tion, and some contemporary analysis of cross sections. Can- ada will not yield her character to that kind of diagnosis. She has been a hard land to master, and has provided a generous way of the Pacific. better.
