Excerpt from The University Magazine: 1912 But while the introduction of new phraseology is to be deprecated, the discussion itself is opportune and useful. There is much haziness in the public mind as to the rights, and still more as to the duties, of British subjects, and it is always desirable to clarify our ideas so far as nature permits. In Canada the subject is particularly appropriate, for there is a vague feeling that we are on the eve of great political develop ments, and the problem of the navy has brought us back to the fundamental principles of the Constitution. In the following pages it is proposed to examine shortly wherein British nationality consists, and what rights and duties it implies. The general reader does not need to be dismayed, for the law of nationality is more interesting than a novel, which, indeed, in these sad times is but faint praise.
