First published in 1965. The peculiar political condition which is
now called Dominion status has had a long and varied history; but
no part of its development has been so full of constitutional
interest as the last twenty years. Yet those who have lived through
this period are frequently very much at loss to recall the exact
sequence of events and the manner in which Dominion autonomy has
proceeded step by step to its present position. This book is an
attempt to give the general reader a concise account of what
Dominion status means, and how it has grown out of the political
experience of the immediate past. To accomplish this, the book is
arranged in two parts: first, a narrative of the development of
Dominion status since 1900; and second, a very generous selection
from the essential contemporary documents by means of which the
reader may, if he so desires, study this development first-hand.
These documents have not been limited to official reports and
bluebooks (which are naturally indispensable in dealing with such a
topic), but they also include other material from newspapers and
periodicals, which supplement the formal papers and frequently bear
additional information which is unobtainable elsewhere. The two
parts have been linked together by footnotes and cross-references.
First Published in 1965. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &

When William Lyon Mackenzie King retired in 1948, he had held
office as Prime Minister of Canada for a total of 7829 days, a
longer term of service than that of any other Prime Minister in the
history of the British Commonwealth. Like Roosevelt, his
contemporary of many momentous years, he was greatly admired and
greatly hated, but none dispute the tremendous influence he exerted
on the history of his country, or, indeed, his place in world
history. In this official biography, great days of Canadian history
are given life and meaning, and at the centre of all the events is
a phenomenal personality gifted with intelligence, intrepidity, and
luck, with amazing insight into his times and the nature of his
political occupation. The biography, based largely on sources
hitherto unavailable, permits the reader to witness the unfolding
of important events as a chief participant himself saw them and to
view far-reaching decisions through the eyes of the man who made
them, for Mackenzie King speaks in his own words through much of
these volumes. They allow us to observe an extraordinarily complex
and powerful personality at work. In this first volume, Mackenzie
King's life and political career are traced up to the firm
establishment of his first administration as Prime Minister. The
forces in is background, education, and early interests which
eventually led him into politics are brought out vividly. It is
both fascinating and touching, for instance, to observe in letters
and personal papers the intimate family relationships which so
largely determined what Mackenzie Kind became. Once public service
had been chosen, he displayed such talents that a leading role
seems almost inevitable to all who knew him.
