The letters and other
matter in the Addenda are copied from original correspondence and other
official documents in the Canadian Archives; for that reason everything
therein contained can be depended on as authentic. They are each worth
reading, telling truly the story of long ago, and more vividly than any
historian of to-day could write it.
The collecting, arranging
and caring for the precious historical matter in the Archives is one of
the most important branches of our Civil Service. Dr. Brymner is an ideal
archivist, being thoroughly conversant with all points of Canadian
history, and devoted to the office. Mr. Duff, assistant, and Miss Casey,
are genial and helpful, and can offer many valuable suggestions to the
seeker after knowledge of men and manners of the far away past. It cannot
but be gratifying to every Canadian to have our history so well guarded,
and find the lively interest in and affection for it evinced by all
connected with the Archives.
