IN presenting to the piil)Hc this "portrait gallery" of Canadian poets — an enlargement of a 1)r()chure published some sixteen }ears ago — the Editor does not claim to have included in it all who might be considered entitled to admis- sion. Criticism dcjubtless will be made in some cases, on the ground either n\ inclusion or exclusion, but it is believed that the collection will l)e recognized as fairly re])resentative of this department of Canadian literature. In. the decade and a half which ha> ])assed since the publication of the hrst edition many >trong, clear voices have joined the national chorus, and the Editor deems himself fortunate in ha\ing secured contriliutions from so man\ of these new singers. The reader will not be sur])rised to observe how largel)' the Great War is reflected in the.se pages. A s|)ecial interest attaches to the poems of Lieut. -Col. McCrae, Major Lang- stafT and Lieut. Trotter. The death oi these gallant officers, while it has enriched the country's honor-roll of achievement and sacrifice, has at the same time rob])ed our literature of the riper product of powers rich in promise. No apology need be made for giving to Charles Sangster the distinctive place he holds in the book. He has been called the "Father of Canadian Poetry," and there are few who will differ with the late Dr. Dewart in his estimate of Sang- ster's genius as "more truly Canadian than that of any other poet of distinction in this Province." For the photograph the Editor is indebted to Mr. Rod Sangster. of Montreal, a son of the poet; and for the poem to the late Mr. Charles H. Gould, r^r.A., Liljrarian of McGill L^niversit}-, to which institution t'ne manuscript poems of Sangster, revised short- Iv before his death, were committed for keeping. Through the kindness of Mrs. A. ^\. Tremaine, of this city, the Editor was permitted the use of a slight M.S. 9 ^ CANADIAN SINGERS AND THEIR SONGS |p book of poems of Joseph Scriven, author of "What a Friend we have in Jesus," on the inside of the back cover of which the poet had inscribed what without douljt woukl seem to be the first draft of his famous hymn. This Httle ])a])er-bound book, comprisinq- ten pages of poems written 1)V his own hand was given !)}• the author to Mrs. Tremaine's father, the kite John Charles llenett, of Brantford, in the earlv "50's. Scriven was then Hving in that City, where for a time he conducted a private school for children, of which school Mrs. Tremaine in her early childhood was a pu])!]. The hymn as reproduced here (p. 129), it will be noticed, not onlv differs in some of the lines from the version in use to-day, but is lacking eight lines of the latter. There would seem to l)e no doubt that it is the hymn as originally composed liy the author. As beyond question the best- known piece of Canadian literature, it is well worthy of a ])lace in this collection. Sincere thanks are due to the writers and to the friends of deceased writers whose generous co-operation has made this pul)lication possible ; also to the several publishers who have consented to the use of copyrighted poems. The kindly response from all (|uarters has made the task of collection, somewhat arduous in itself, a very real pleasure throughout. Acknowledgment also is gratefully made of the valuable assistance received from Mrs. Jean Blewett and Miss Helena Coleman. It is hoped that the taste here given may serve to whet the appetite of the reader for a closer acquaintance with the work of the writers represented in this little volume.
