Society of Manitoba, the Ontario Historical Society, the
Nova Scotia Historical Society, and various other Canadian institutions
of a similar character. Much important material, bearing on, or
supplementary to, the topics treated in the several volumes of the
_Makers of Canada_ will be found in the foregoing publications. The
reader may also find it profitable in many cases to consult the
publications of the American Historical Association, and the State
Historical Societies of New York, Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota. A great deal of important material is also to be found in
Canadian and other periodicals. Of the more significant of these, the
_Revue Canadienne_ marked the completion of its fifty-third volume in
1907 by publishing in separate form a comprehensive Index to the entire
series up to that year. In consulting other Canadian magazines,
reference must in most cases be made to the individual indexes in each
volume. The series of the _Canadian Monthly_ and the _New Dominion
Monthly_ are, however, fully covered by Poole's _Index_; the _Canadian
Magazine_, to a large extent, by Wilson's _Guide to Periodical
Literature_, as well as by a General Index published by the magazine in
1907. A key to the publications of several Canadian historical societies
and periodicals, since the year 1906, is furnished by the _Magazine
Subject-Index_ (Boston). The three admirable American guides mentioned
above, that is, Poole's _Index_, Wilson's _Guide_, and the _Magazine
Subject-Index_, with their annual or cumulative supplements, provide
also a key to the great body of literature in the principal American and
English periodicals, bearing on Canadian topics.
Among other important guides to Canadian subjects, historical,
political, biographical, social, literary, and scientific, should be
mentioned the _Review of Historical Publications Relating to Canada_,
edited by Wrong and Langton; Larned's _Literature of American History_,
which includes a section on Canada; the various encyclopaedias; the
annual bibliographies of Canadian scientific work published in the
_Transactions_ of the Royal Society of Canada; Gagnon's _Essai de
Bibliographie Canadienne_; Morgan's _Bibliotheca Canadensis_; James's
_Bibliography of Canadian Verse_; Horning and Burpee's _Bibliography of
Canadian Fiction_; Tanguay's _Dictionnaire Genealogique des Familles
Canadiennes_; and the very full bibliographies of material published in
