A Treasury of Canadian Verse

by Theodore Harding Rand (Editor and Contributor)

Excerpt from A Treasury of Canadian Verse

The printing together of the selections from any author has been advisedly adopted, as affording a greater variety and interest than could be secured by an abstract or logical classification of the verse of the entire volume. The convenience of an alphabetical order of authors is apparent, while the dates supplied in the Notes afford ample chronology. Here and there the reader may find unfilled dates of birth or death, or unexpanded initials of names, but all reason able effort has been made to furnish complete and trustworthy information.
