The Makers of Canada: Index and Dictionary of Canadian History
Canada -- Biography; Canada -- History
Subject-Index_, with their annual or cumulative supplements, provide
also a key to the great body of literature in the principal American and
English periodicals, bearing on Canadian topics.
Among other important guides to Canadian subjects, historical,
political, biographical, social, literary, and scientific, should be
mentioned the _Review of Historical Publications Relating to Canada_,
edited by Wrong and Langton; Larned's _Literature of American History_,
which includes a section on Canada; the various encyclopædias; the
annual bibliographies of Canadian scientific work published in the
_Transactions_ of the Royal Society of Canada; Gagnon's _Essai de
Bibliographie Canadienne_; Morgan's _Bibliotheca Canadensis_; James's
_Bibliography of Canadian Verse_; Horning and Burpee's _Bibliography of
Canadian Fiction_; Tanguay's _Dictionnaire Généalogique des Familles
Canadiennes_; and the very full bibliographies of material published in
or about the province of Quebec, by Dr. N. E. Dionne. A general
reference may also be made here, for all subjects in this volume
relating to Canadian history, to such general works as those of Parkman,
Kingsford, Bourinot, Dent, McMullen, Ferland, Faillon, Charlevoix,
Bibaud, Garneau, Sulte, Miles, Christie, Haliburton, Murdoch, Campbell,
Hannay, Bryce, and Begg. In addition to the principal source of Canadian
manuscript material, the Archives at Ottawa, a large number of important
documents will be found in the Provincial Archives at Halifax, Quebec,
Toronto, Winnipeg, and Victoria, as well as in the universities of
Laval, McGill, and Toronto. Finally, reference may be made to the
various biographical dictionaries in the accompanying list.
The inclusion in the Supplement of several names of Canadians, both
living and dead, who are not of the very first importance, and the
omission of others who filled at least as important a place in the
history of the country, will be explained largely by the fact that the
former were incidentally mentioned somewhere in the series, and
therefore had to be included, while the latter were not.
