Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bulletin of Lafayette College: Address of Honourable William Renwick Riddell, L. H. D., LL. D., Delivered at Lafayette College on Founders' Day, October 16, 1912
I am come to you of the greatest Republic the world has ever seen, from one of the nations composing its greatest Empire - and I intend for a short time to speak to you of the international relations between Republic and Empire, and especially of the long period of peace.
And this is the time peculiarly fit for speaking of that peace, for just one hundred years ago on the 18th of June was made the last declaration of war between these two peoples - almost to a day, a century ago, was the first real battle of that war fought at Queenston Heights.
