John Charles Dent’s Canadian Portrait Gallery is a Victorian biographical reference work presenting portraits and life sketches of notable Canadians — politicians, jurists, clergy, military officers, and men of business — who shaped the Dominion in the nineteenth century. Volume 3 continues the alphabetical procession through Canada’s prominent figures with the combination of biographical detail and occasional critical appraisal that characterises the series.
An indispensable resource for Canadian genealogy and national history, this public-domain volume is freely available as an EPUB download.
