Excerpt from Official Souvenir: Visit of the Canadian Manufacturers to Great Britain; June-July, Nineteen Hundred and Five One does not need, although it is a pleasant retrospect, to linger over the preparatory stages. The trip itself is the Object of description in these pages. To spend a month in the British Islands; to see what we had read Of, heard of, dreamed of, in the grand Old motherland; to Observe for ourselves what are the sources of her prosperity, the secret of her power; to ascertain at first hand the sentiments Of her people, and to feast upon the beauties Of her landscape, the historic landmarks of a marvellous past - such, in brief, were the aims Of the c.m.a. Excursionists of 1905. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
