Excerpt from Canada Under the Administration of the Earl of Dufferin Lord Dufferin has been careful to familiarize himself with the geography and history of the land over whose destinies he has so successfully and gracefully presided, and his delightful and ornate speeches show the deep interest he has always taken in our affairs. These eloquent speeches, many of them delivered on the spur of the moment during the hurry of continued journeys from place to place, and under conditions which rendered their serious preparation a physical impossibility, have done much to make Canada known abroad, and have materially helped forward the various schemes, of emigration to this country. He has presented in an attractive way the unrivalled resources of Canada as a grazing, an agricultural and a mineral country, and his words have borne good results. It is not necessary to speak of the incisive, sparkling and epigrammatic character of His Excellency's addresses and speeches. They are given here in all their freshness, spontaneity and brilliancy, that everyone may read and enjoy them for himself. I have allowed the cheers, applause and other indications of the feeling of the audience to stand, as they give life to the performance and exhibit the manner in which His Lordship's remarks were received at the time of their delivery.
