 SIR:- 
 
 OT^HE view that our Canadian liistory deserves more attention in our schools, and 
 sliould have works devoted to it of sufficient size and affording scope for interesting 
 treatment, is one strongly expressed by loyal Canadians, and especially by those wlio have 
 compared the time given in our schools to Canadian history, with that so freely devoted 
 in the United States to their history. 
 
 That there is a widespread desire among educationists throughout the Dominion for 
 something better in this respect, was shown by the general response to the request of the 
 teachers of Quebec to appoint a committee representing all the provinces to consider the 
 matter of a text-book on Canadian history. 
 
 At the time of the meeting of the International Teachers' Convention in Toronto, Ihe 
 representatives of Ontario, Nova Scotia and Manitoba met, and were of opinion that the 
 offer of a gentleman, made to the Quebec teachers, to advance lS>'2, 500 as a loan, did not 
 afford encouragement enough to induce authors to enter on such a work. The vi«n\ of 
 the Literary Section of the Royal Society of Canada was to the same effect. Accordingly 
 the matter was dropped. 
 
 As one who has paid some attention to this subject, and has published works on 
 Canadian history in Britain, United States and Canada, the undersigned would state 
 that he has been engaged for some time in preparing a School History of Canada, viewing 
 Canada from a Dominion stand-point, and that in a few weeks he hopes to place Ix'Toit; 
 you his 'Dominion History of Canada for Schools," oji the following conditions: 
 
 1st. That the Dominion History of Canada will be placed on sale by bookselleis in 
 the capital of every province of the Dominion at a cost not exceeding 50 cents. 
 
 2nd. That in the provinces authorizing the Dominion History, the undersigut^d is 
 prepared to set apart 5 percent of the gross sales of the book, as a fund for estal)lisliing 
 lirictureships in Canadian history in connection with the Normal schools of such provinces. 
 
 8ki>. That the forthcoming work will aim at giving due proportion to our history, 
 from the time of the French occupation to the present time, and in the several provinces 
 from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 
 
 4th. That it is hoped the Dominion History will l)e ready for use by Jan. 1st, 1892. 
 The undersigned would be glad to hear from you as to the prospect of the adopti(.n 
 of such a work in your province. 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 GEORGE BRYCK. 
 WiNNii'Ko, August 17th, 1891.
