Excerpt from The Lives of the Judges of Upper Canada and Ontario: From 1791 to the Present Time I have, before concluding, to express my obligation to friends who have encouraged me in my work. I am especially indebted to Mr. Geo. M. Jarvis, of the Finance Department, Ottawa, for procuring me information from 1the archives of the Dominion, without which I could not have attained the accuracy of statement of official appoint ments; also, for his obtaining for me information from Australia which I have found useful and interesting in writing the Life of Mr. Justice Willis. I have to thank, the Librarian of the Ontario Assembly for ready access to the books on the shelves of the Parliamentary Library. 'with this short preface to the Lives of the Judges, I commit the work to an indulgent public, asking forgive ness for omissions or defects, and hoping that some profit may be derived from a perusal of its pages, descriptive of the life and times of the Judges of Ontario.
