Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Canada is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and
three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent,
it extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the
Arctic Ocean. Canada is the world's second-largest country by total
area, and its common border with the United States is the world's
longest land border. The land that is now Canada has been inhabited
for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late
15th century, British and French colonial expeditions explored, and
later settled, the region's Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all
of its colonies in North America to Britain in 1763 after the Seven
Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American
colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal
dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces
and territories and a process of increasing autonomy, culminating
in the Canada Act 1982. -wikipedia
