Excerpt from Canadian Constitutional Studies: The Marfleet Lectures, University of Toronto, October, 1921 The following lectures were delivered in the University of Toronto, in October, 1921, under the Marfleet Foundation. They were designed as introduction to the study of the constitutio development of Canada from 1760 to the time; and they include a short sketch Of the system of government which prevailed during the French r???gime from 1608 to 1760, as well as a glance at problems confronting democracy in the immediate future. The incidents of constitutional growth that I have endeavoured to describe are of absorb ing interest and immense importance. They cover a period of nearly two centuries, and the attempt to compress them within these narrow limits necessitated many omissions. I am fully conscious that other imperfections, such as lack Of pro portion, will doubtless be Observed in the result of my labours. It is hoped that the lectures, however imperfect, may prove of some assistance to those who desire to make themselves acquainted, in a general way, with the beginnings and gradual de velopment Of our present system of government. TO many friends I am indebted for assistance in the preparation Of the lectures: to the Hon. N. W. Rowell, k.c., who read the manuscript of the first two lectures and made useful suggestions; to Dr. Adam Shortt, Professor George M. Wrong, and Dr. A'. G. Doughty, of the Board of Historical Publications, and Major Gustave Lanctot, of the Canadian Archives, for valuable memoranda and suggestions; to Mr. E. L. New combe, k.c Deputy Minister of Justice, and Mr. W. S. Edwards, k.c., Assistant Deputy Minister Of Justice, for important notes on the legal questions discussed; and to Mr. L. C. Christie, Legal Adviser Of the Department Of External Affairs, and Mr. C. H. A. Armstrong, of the Prime Minister's Office, for valuable notes and memoranda. Mr. Armstrong throughout the pre paration of the lectures has rendered very impor tant assistance, and he has also read the proofs.
