Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of the Transactions of the Victoria Institute, or Philosophical Society of Great Britain, 1898-99, Vol. 32
Letters expressive of interest in the various subjects dealt with by the Victoria Institute are received from distant parts of the world from time to time, and have been referred to in preceding pages of the Transactions. But the expression of such interest on the part of a distinguished member coming from Canada, namely, the Bishop of Minnesota, during the discussion on the paper of Professor mckenny Hughes (1st May, 1899) must have been peculiarly gratifying to those who were present on the occasion. The Bishop is reported to have said: It is a very great pleasure for me to be present at this meeting; for although I have been one of your members for many years and have taken very great delight in reading all the papers that are published by the Institute, this is the first time I have had the pleasure of being present. This statement was followed by a very interesting account regarding the characters of the great Indian tribe of the Algonquins, amongst whom much of the Bishop's life and labours are passed.
