Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Canadian Portrait Gallery, Vol. 1
Britain found a hearty echo on this side the Atlantic when it became known that the Marquis of Lorne and his consort were to take up their abode among us. The ap pointment was hailed with satisfaction in all parts of the Dominion, and the new governor-general entered upon his term of ofiice with the hearts of the people strongly prepossessed in his-favour. In Canada, loy alty has by no means degenerated into a mere feeble sentiment of expediency. Throughout the length and breadth of our land the name of Queen Victoria is regarded with an affec tionate love and veneration which is felt for no other human being, and this love has gone out with fervour towards the fair young daughter who, during her residence among' us, has been, and-will be - and that in no merely conventional sense - the first lady in the land.
