All secondary schools in
Canada are to receive the
latest edition of a unique
Canadian reference book as
a continuation of a Cen-
tennial Project started in
1967 by Simpsons-Sears
Limited.

Distribution of Volume IV
of the Dictionary of
Canadian Biography begins
in March. This will -be the
sixth volume in the series to
be donated by the
cataglogue and department
store firm to Canada’s 3500
high schools.

he Dictionary
sidered one of the most
important works of
reference ever undertaken in
this country. It documents
the events and records the
activities of the adventurous,
dedicated and often con-
troversial figures in
Canadian history, who
contributed in shaping
Canada's destiny from the
earliest recorded history.
The pages of Volume IV
contain the lives of 504
persons who died betwen
1771 and 1800, the results of
the labours of 255 con-
tributors from across Canada
and abroad.

Important explorers in the

is con-

volume include James Cook
and George Vancouver, who
searched from northern
California to the Arctic
Ocean for the fabled nor-
thwest passage. On the east
coast, the imperious Edward
Cornwallis established
Halifax but resigned his
governorship when the home
authorities refused to furnish
adequate financing for the
settlement. Among the
energetic and _ resourceful
women to be found are Mary
Brant, whose influence over
the Six Nations was said to
be “far superior to that of all
their Chiefs put together,
and Mme d’Youville, who
overcame opposition from

family, church and
government to found the
Grey Nuns.

Tying together the history
of the Acadian people, from
their first settlements
(described in’ Volume _ I)
through their deportation
and return, is Professor
Naomi Griffiths’ intro-
ductory essay, ‘The
Acadians.” Professor Pierre
Tousignant’s essay, “The

Integration of the Province
of Quebec into the British
provides an ac-

Empire,”

erence book

to secondary schools

count of the development of
a new constitutional
structure for the province
from 1763 to 1774.

In addition to- these two

introductory essays, Volume |

IV contains a_ general
bibliography of the sources
most frequently used in its
preparation, a full nominal
index, and an index of
identifications, an innova-
tion which it is hoped will
provide readers with a new
approach to the volume.
Like its predecessors,
Volume IV is an invaluable
work of reference, which the
editors hope will be con-
sulted with profit and read
with pleasure by those in-
terested in our nation’s past.
