Excerpt from John Galt
In writing this little book I have received help from many sources. Through the kindness of Professor W. J. Alexander I was enabled to spend a year in Toronto and avail myself of the libraries there. I am indebted to Dr. Alexander Fraser for allowing me to examine a box of Galt''s papers in the Ontario Archives; to Mrs. Helmer, of Toronto, for help of various kinds in matter relating to her grandfather''s family; to Mr. Justice Galt, of Winnipeg, for the loan of letters; to George Galt, Esq., of Winnipeg, for the loan of books; to Pro fessor A. H. Young, of Trinity College, for many valuable hints; to William Smith, Esq., for helpful guidance among the Archives at Ottawa; to Professor 0. D. Skelton, of Queen''s University, for lending me the ms. Of part of his book on Sir Alexander Galt; and to R. M. Hogg, Esq., of Irvine, and Her bert Henderson, Esq., of Greenock, for their trouble in clear ing up many points. R. K. G.
