she sought Swcdcnborg and asked him To hunt

Three days later, when She was entertaining
some friends, Swedcnborg called, and in the

SKETCH OF GOODWIN SMITH,

DR.. Goldwin Smith, the celebrated
historian and publicist, was born Au-
gust IS, 1928. He is an Englishman
by birth, but has lived in Canada for
nearly 40 years. His education was
received at Eton and Oxford. In
1864 he first visited the United States
on lecturing tour. Prior to that
time he had been noted In England
as writer and educator. He met
with an enthusiastic reception in
America, and Brown University con-
ferred upon him the honorary degree
of Ill. d. On his return home he
published works dealing with the re-
lations between England and Ameri-
can civil war.
In 1868, having resigned his chair
at oxford, he settled in the United
States as a professor at Cornell Uni
versity. This post he occupied till
1871, when he removed to Canada,
where he was for a time a member
of the senate of the University of
Toronto. For nearly 40 years he has
lived at "The Grange" near the city
of Toronto. During that period his
life has been devoted to literature,
journalism. philanthropy and all the
higher duties of citizenship. He has
been and is still a prolific writer and
his writings have covered wide va
riety of subjects.

American proposal. The French states
