f 



This series of momentous events in our liistoncal annals, when 

 recalled, may well produce a strong emotion of patriotic exultation 

 throughout the Dominion of Canada. 



And when v/e trace them back to their beginning in the daring feat 

 and marvellous success of General Wolfe on the Heights of Abraham, 

 and thejice down to the wonderful growth and. prosperity of this vast 

 Dominion, all Canadians may feel prond of their past, and the four 

 races, now fusing into one united people, can afford, much better 

 than Quebec alone, to erect, with the abounding resources of Canada, 

 monuments in inarble and bronze appropriate to revive and. perpetuate 

 fcr future generations the noble deeds of our fathers, and, above all, 

 to mark the spot where fell the immortal "Wolfe.
