Canadian Independence, Annexation
and British Imperial Federation. BY
James Douglas. Questions of the Day
series) Mr.. James Doulgas, the author
of this work, is a native of Quebec. but
for the past twenty years, has been en-
gagged in the United States as metal
lurgist and mining engineer. He is famil-
iarswith the conditions that exist on both
sides of the border, and therefore his
opinions on the subject of the relations
between he United States and Canada
are founded upon knowledge. Mr.
Douglass conclusions are that political
annexation would not be beneficial to
either country, but he believes the two
should live in the closest social and COM
merciai intercourse. New York: G F.
