Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Two Lectures on British Columbia In publishing these Lectures in their present form, I am only complying with the general desire of the people, to whom, at different places, they were addressed. The opinions they contain as to the future of British Columbia are so different to those commonly entertained, that I should have hesitated in their publication, had they not been endorsed by the intelligence of the country. The mere fact of my having seventeen years´ experience in the mines of California, though it might give weight to my, opinions, would not confer the authority I desire on this occasion. If the publication of my opinions is to do any good in the world, it must be known, I am not speaking merely as an individual, but on the behalf and under the sanction of the community. I have, therefore, thought it necessary to append the resolution adopted by the audience at New Westminster, the Capital of the Colony, and signed by Henry Holbrook, Esq., President of the Municipal Council, as it conveys precisely the authority under which I desire to appear. Legh Harnett. Victoria, Feb: 7th, 1868. The Lecturer sat down amidst loud and enthusiastic applause, after which the Hon. J. Robson read the following address, which was seconded by Jas. Cunningham, Esq., unanimously adopted by the meeting, and presented to Mr Harnett, who duly acknowledged the same: - To Legh Harnett. EsQ., Sir, - Having had the pleasure of listening to your two Lectures on British Columbia, including all its interests, we cannot allow you to leave without making some acknowledgment of our great indebtedness to you.
