Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Canada as a Political Entity
Words should mean something; the object of their use is to convey an impression. What political idea is conjured up by the word colony - that of a self - reliant, practically independent country, or of a subservient possession? Un doubtedly it is the'latter impression that is meant to be conveyed and that actually is conveyed. The idea expressed by colony is altogether incompatible with the position of Canada. As applied to Canada, the term colony is merely a reminiscent misnomer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
