Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Canada and Its Provinces, Vol. 1: A History of the Canadian People and Their Institutions by One Hundred Associates; New France, 1534-1760
But, in the enthusiasm of commercial and industrial activity, of increasing wealth and population, it is not to be forgotten that the national character is not moulded exclusively by economic causes. Flung over an enor mous geographic range, the Canadian communities are not yet bound together by continuity of settlement. There remain differences of environment, of local interest, of language and race. Under such conditions the danger of sectionalism, in spite of material success, is greatly to be feared, unless this destructive tendency is met by the positive and constructive idea of the Nation.
