    AUTHOR’S NOTE The main printed sources used in preparing this book were the laws, the parliamentary records, and the official reports of the Dominion and of the various provinces and territories. Most of the laws and parliamentary records were found in the Library of Congress, and most of the official reports either there or in the Statistical Section of the Surgeon General’s Library in Washington. Gaps were filled by consulting various libraries in London, Ottawa, Quebec, and Montreal. Where doubts could not be removed through a perusal of printed documents alone, the author consulted the responsible officers; and he is greatly indebted for the assistance rendered him by the Dominion Statistician and his experts as well as by the Vital Statisticians of the Provinces of Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. One word should perhaps be said about the procedure as to quotations in this volume. Italicized names have been given in roman, and the signs & and &c. have been replaced by “and” or “etc.” Otherwise, every quotation is a faithful reproduc- tion of the original. This has the inconvenience that a word spelled in our text according to modern rules may appear on the next line in a different spelling if quoted. But we thought that most readers would readily stand this little inconvenience for the advantage of having all quotations from laws and official documents as well as all book references exactly in their original form. Robert R. Kuczynski.
