PROCEEDINGS FOR 1895 XXXI 
Its officers are annually elected on the first Wednesday in June. The 
next annual meeting will be at Brampton, in the county of Peel. A 
second meeting of the association will take place on one of the days dur- 
ing the great annual exhibition in September, in Toronto. These meet- 
ings are becoming more interesting and important. The reports received 
from the local societies indicate that each one is doing its share of active 
work in rearing the noble structure of Canadian history. 
New subjects also are frequently introduced by members, to the 
great pleasure and profit of all present, and through them and the excel- 
lent reports given by the press made known to the people at large. Under 
the auspices of local societies, many hundred pages of useful history have 
recently been published relating to the early days of Canada, which have 
already attracted the attention of the Minister of Education and other 
authorities of Ontario, and of many readers of history in the United 
States. The study of Canadian archives is now more highly regarded 
than ever, but to make the history of a country complete every locality 
must furnish its part. 
IL. From The Lundy’s Lane Historical Society, through Captain 
CRUIKSHANK. 
This society was organized in 1887, and is in affiliation with the 
Pioneer and Historical Association of Ontario. Since its formation it has 
been actively employed in promoting the study and cultivation of Cana- 
dian history relating chiefly to the American revolution of the last century 
and the war of 1812-14. 
The following is a brief list of the society’s recent publications : 
“The Story of the Butler's Rangers.” (Revolution.) 
“The Battle of Queenston Heights, 1812.” (Second edition.) 
“The Fight in the Beechwoods, 1813.” (Second edition.) 
“The Battle of Lundy’s Lane, 1814.” (Third edition.) 
“The Story of Laura Secord, 1813.” 
“Canada. In Memoriam. 1812-14.” 
‘The Servos Family.” (Revolution.) 
“A Loyal Sermon, preached in Stamford, near Lundy’s Lane, June, 
1814.” 
‘Niagara One Hundred Years Ago.” 
‘ À Centenary Study.” 
These pamphlets have elicited much attention throughout Canada, 
and huve been recommended for use in the high schools of Ontario. 
Letters from distinguished writers in the United States regard several of 
them as most important and valuable publications, filling blanks long 
felt in American history in relation to the revolution and war of 1812-14. 
The Lundy’s Lane Society has also given much attention to the care 
and history of several old burial places situated in the neighbourhooc 
the Niagara River.
