The Author has also to add that this volume is intended as the first of a Short Series, Relating to the Duties and Responsibilities of Canadian Citizens in Connection with the Government of the Dominion, whether general, provincial or municipal. It is proposed to explain the nature of thin Government in a simple manner, so that it may be easily understood by young and old, men and women, of all classes. It is quite natural that the first volume of such a series should state the principles and methods of conducting those meetings and assemblies which originnate and express that public opinion and public action . by which every Government is more or less influenced and bound in this country of popular institutions.
