This edition of "The Canadian Encyclopedia is the largest, most comprehensive book ever published in Canada for the general reader. It is COMPLETE: every aspect of Canada, from its rock formations to its rock bands, is represented here. It is UNABRIDGED: all of the information in the four red volumes of the famous 1988 edition is contained here in this single volume. It has been EXPANDED: since 1988 teams of researchers have been diligently fleshing out old entries and recording new ones; as a result, the text from 1988 has grown by 50% to over 4,000,000 words. It has been UPDATED: the researchers and contributors worked hard to make the information as current as possible. Other words apply to this extraordinary work of scholarship: AUTHORITATIVE, RELIABLE and READABLE. Every entry is compiled by an expert. Equally important, every entry is written for a Canadian reader, from the Canadian point of view. The finished work - many years in the making, and the equivalent of forty average-sized books - is an extraordinary storehouse of information about our country. This book deserves pride of place on the bookshelf in every Canadian Home. It is no accident that the cover of this book is based on the Canadian flag. For the proud truth is that this volume represents a great national achievement. From its formal inception in 1979, this encyclopedia has always represented a vote of faith in Canada; in Canada as a separate place whose natural worlds and whose peoples and their achievements deserve to be recorded and celebrated. At the start of a new century and a new millennium, in an increasingly borderless corporate world that seems ever more hostile to nationaldistinctions and aspirations, this "Canadian Encyclopedia is offered in a spirit of defiance and of faith in our future. The statistics behind this volume are staggering. The opening sixty pages list the 250 Consultants, the roughly 4,000 Contributors (all experts in the field they describe) and the scores of researchers, editors, typesetters, proofreaders and others who contributed their skills to this massive project. The 2,640 pages incorporate over 10,000 articles and over 4,000,000 words, making it the largest - some might say the greatest - Canadian book ever published. There are, of course, many special features. These include a map of Canada, a special page comparing the key statistics of the 23 major Canadian cities, maps of our cities, a variety of tables and photographs, and finely detailed illustrations of our wildlife, not to mention the colourful, informative endpapers. But above all the book is "encyclopedic" - which the "Canadian Oxford Dictionary describes as "embracing all branches of learning." This means that (with rare exceptions) there is satisfaction for the reader who seeks information on any Canadian subject. From the first entry "A mari usque ad mare - "from sea to sea" (which is Canada's motto, and a good description of this volume's range) to the "Zouaves (who mustered in Quebec to fight for the beleaguered Papacy) there is the required summary of information, clearly and accurately presented. For the browser the constant variety of entries and the lure of regular cross-references will provide hours of fasination. The word "encyclopedia" derives from Greek expressions alluding to a grand "circle of knowledge." Our knowledge has expandedimmeasurably since the time that one mnd could encompass all that was known.Yet now Canada's finest scientists, academics and specialists have distilled their knowledge of our country between the covers of one volume. The result is a book for every Canadian who values learning, and values Canada.

Excerpt from Canada, an Encyclopedia of the Country, Vol. 2 of 5: The Canadian Dominion Considered in Its Historic Relations, Its Natural Resources, Its Material Progress, and Its National Development HE Second Volume of Mr. Castell Hopkins' Encyclopedia is devoted to three subjects which must ever occupy a large and prominent place in any work on Canada - The Hudson's Bay Company, the Railways and the Churches. Among the peasantry and gentry who left France in the seventeenth century to take up their abode in Canada, few were those who settled down as tillers of the soil. By far the greater number became hunters and trappers. All accounts of the early occupation of the continent by Europeans agree that the French were exceptionally endowed for that avocation. They, more than any other race from the Old World, readily adapted themselves to the manners and customs ofthe aboriginal tribes; they easily fell in with their mode of life and obtained their confidence and friendship where others only met with distrust and rebuke. It would also seem that the very wildness of the forest exercised a strange fascination over the men of the Gallic race, which made them cling to the adventurous life for the very love of it, when it had been first embraced for profit and lucre. They sprang into existence a class of men who became and have remained famous all over the continent under the names of Coureur; des bois; rovers of the forest, impatient of the restraints of civilization, delighting in the freedom ofthe Indian whose but they shared and whose garb they adoptedf - a garb under Which there often coursed the best and proudest blood of old France. But while men of the Gallic race were roaming over the whole continent, whilst they were exploring lakes and rivers, forests and prairies, just for the love of sport and adventure; making but occasional and spasmodic efforts to plant settlements and to take permanent possession of the soil; men of anglo-saxon blood were quietly, silently, persistently and doggedly organizing a powerful association which by a vast, systematic, carefully prepared and carefully carried out arrangement gradually drew to itself the whole for trade of North America. The history of the Hudson's Bay Company is little known. Some day its annals will be unfolded to the inquisitive gaze of the world; then it will reveal itself as one of the most astonishingly perfect organizations ever devised by man. It gradually planted its posts in all that Northern part of the continent where the fur-bearingr animals were to be found - on the bleak shores of Labrador, on all the icy streams that flow into the Arctic Ocean, on the vast prairies of the interior, in the Rocky Mountains and beyond even to the waters of the Pacific. All these posts were working in unison. In every one of them was an agent, who had come as a lad from the Northern coasts or Islands of Scotland, toiling steadily, growing old, and ever faithful to the interests of the great corporation whose servant he was. Connecting all these posts was a vast, complete, sure system of communication Furs were collected from post to post, provisions and merchandise distributed, and mails conveyed and distributed, with less celerity, no doubt, but with as much security as in the most advanced times of our country in our own day. Dog trains were in constant motion during winter, flotillas of birch canoes during summer. For two hundred years or more a ship especially constructed for that hardy service and as regularly as the course of the planets, crossed and re-crossed between England and Hudson's Bay, bringing with it provisions and articles of exchange.
