The Canadian Portrait Gallery, Vol. 4 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Canadian Portrait Gallery, Vol. 4

As respects the present day, it has been found necessary to adopt a much wider range. There are many living persons who, from the mere fact of their occupying more or less conspicuous positions, are entitled to notice in the work, but who would undoubtedly have had no place there by reason of their personal merits or abilities. This is an incident of every work which attempts to deal with contemporaneous biography, and it is one which can neither be ignored nor surmounted.
