Excerpt from Biographical Dictionary of Well-Known British Columbians: With a Historical Sketch
In submitting the present volume to the public I make no apology for the briefness and imperfection of the historical sketch of the country with which the biographies are introduced. In a work of this character it would be impossible to place before the reader In exact and minute detail every gradation of the country's history from its condition as a wilderness to its present state as an import ant and enlightened province. This task will remain for the luminous and discriminating page Of the gifted historian of the future who will possess unstinted means for obtaining his material and unlimited leisure for casting it.
