 Why have our pobts and our story Writers and our studonts 
 of economic ({Uostions gone to Acadia, Quebec, and the far-off parts of 
 the Northwest, for their inspirati6n and their themes ? Some may say 
 bocaUHo they <lid not find thoir inHpiratiop and thoir thetne at homo, 
 others may say liocauHo Parkinan h<is ontrance<l thom with his inter- 
 weaving of romance and narrative, that delightful mingling of story 
 and history that may he doscrilma as intoxicating or at least att iiios- 
 meric, an(l because Kirby told a tale in his Uoldon Dog that has never 
 been surpassed by his (Successors, if it has been equalled. Others may 
 say that we are always most attracted by the distant and the 
 foreign, we can see more romance in a people that have other ways and 
 other speech than we have ourselves, ana we can readilV find a story 
 that wul interest others like ourselves if only we seek it in a foreign 
 situation, and with others who do not think as we do or speak our 
 language. This must be remembered, however, that there is always 
 awaiting such stories the native critic who is ready to lay bare tne 
 inaccuracies and the mistakes of the foreigner, who ib inaccurate and

 that this Province occiipieH g.M)graphically qn thia continent. Oin-n 
 jroilr atlaa and olworve that Ontario is almost literally an island lying 
 in the interior of the odhtinent, thrust down into the very heart of the 
 gre^t pnKlucing stnteH. a block of land across which pass the great 
 n%fiural and national highways. Then to our great water counu.H add 
 thri fertility of tho soil formed in the ages gone by out of the Archean 
 rocks of the Uurentians, the oldest of the continent, and you have the 
 roajiona which nature givus for calling this a Promite.l Und. 
 
 Wliat is the nationality of our people? Are we Knglish, or 
 SoQttish. or Irish? or are we Anglo-Saxons ? It is best to call our- 
 selves Canadian. But of what blood is a Canadian ? Ut me take an 
 exi^mple, and I do not think it is an extreme case. I had occasion 
 latjly to look up the nationality of a Canadian who was boi'n in 
 loi^nto. His father and mother were Iwth born in this province

 the iodustry of these lovers of peace. Soiiie of them were fighting

 U. E. Loyalista had settled. In 1798 the first meeting was orgim-

 ^ flisked for. The Church of Hcotlandl among other churchen. waa trying

 On their return Rev. Norman MoLeod gave this picture of the con-

 Eglinton and appeared in TaU'$ Magazine, June, 1849. It was copied from thafc 
 magasine into "The Haid •.ft'Albyn" by W D. Camubell, pub. Edinburgh in 1884. 
 I have been enabled to reproduce it hero through tne kindness of Mr. Angus Mo- 
 Murchy, Toronto When the deputation from the Church of Scotland returned ifi 
 1846 and made a report on their visit to Canada, Rev. Norman MoLeod <|Uoted this, 
 second verse as follows : 
 
 " From the dim sheiling on the misty island, 
 
 Mountains divide us, and (k world of seas, \ 
 
 But still our hearts are true, our hearts are Highland, 
 And we in dreams behold the Hebrides." a

 The next Hettlerhent that I come' to in order of time iit that which 
 we call the Tall^)t Siittlement. Two Irinh lailM had been aided to the 
 Lord Lieutenant of Ireland at Dublin. They were br)yn together. Tom 
 Tallwt and Arthur Wellenley by name. We can picture to ounwivoa 
 how in yeani long after (1851 > Lord Wellington and Ck)lon«l TaU)ot 
 shook handH and sat down to Ulk of oldon timen. - I wonder whether 
 the Htory of WaUsrloo.or of Lundy'H Lane, or the backwoods talen of Up- 
 per Canada, Or the youthful pranks in which they were a«»ociated came 
 most frequently to the fora The reproduction of an evening with 
 Wellington and Talbot Hfty yoam ago would be rare'roading for Can- 
 adians and BritisherH U>-<lay. There was no phonograph— perhaps 
 some Canadian writer gifted with a vivid imagination will some day 
 meet our desires. Would there not be some romance in it? Talbot 
 had been Private Secretary to Governor Simcoe in Upper Canada from 
 1792 to 1794. In 1803, nearly 10 years after his retpm, he applied for a 
 grant 6f land. Simcoe supported the application. 6.000 acres were 
 given him, with an addition»l 160 for every 60 acres located. Some 
 say he had beet disappointed in love and came back to Canada as a 
 <»n«equence. To those who have once .felt the allurement of the wild 
 Is no such reason Baetu* necessary. Fort Talbot overlooking Lake
