Book excerpt: Excerpt from The University Magazine, Vol. 13 For many years Canada went quietly, doing a safe, snug business, meeting conditions as they arose, cultivating old markets, and finding new markets when old ones were closed. Then the spirit of finance came upon us and delivered us over to the delusion that a man becomes rich by spending, and a nation great according to the greatness of the burden of taxation which it bears, when, in reality, the only source of national wealth is the labour of the community. And all this was done in the name of development of the country, under the influence of leaders whose idea of develop ment was the expenditure of money, so that they themselves might retain a share. Having little money of our own, we were induced to borrow it, and the way to borrow was to advertise. Croakers and niggards were reminded that ome lets cannot be made without breaking eggs. Now, we have all discovered that breaking eggs does not in itself make an omelet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
