LAST FORTY YEARS:
CANADA SINCE THE UNION OF 1841.
BY
JOHN CHARLES DENT.

VOL II.

No picture, no history, can present us with the whole truth: but those are the best pictures and the
best histories which exhibit such parts of the truth as most nearly produce the effect of the whole. . .
History has its foreground and its background; and it is principally in the management of its perspec-
tive that one artist differs from another. Some events must be represented on a large scale, others
diminished; the great majority will be lost in the dimness of the horizon; and a general idea of their
joint effect will be given by a few slight touches.-MAcAuLAy: Essay on History.
