Excerpt from Speeches of the Earl of Dufferin, Governor-General of Canada, 1872-1878: Complete I feel it to be a great honour to have been called upon to administer the Govern ment of so progressive and so prosperous a Dominion. Hardly a week passes but fresh proofs are brought to my notice of the illimitable resources which it contains, and which cannot fail' to become rich fountains of wealth to its industrious and energetic people. I have been looking forward with impatience to my visit to the capital of Oh tario - and I propose to spend some weeks in Toronto for the express purpose of becoming acquainted with its inhabitants and its insti tutions.
