I also thank the Library of the University of British Columbia for purchasing at my request a microfilm of The Amale Spectator: And I thank the Province of British Columbia for a Youth Em- ployment Programme grant (summer 1983) to compensate a research assistant-and to Diana Relke, who did the job so well. On the personal side, I am grateful to many colleagues and friends for their interest and support, especially at those times (not infrequent) when I felt like a voice crying in the wilder- ness. Heartfelt thanks to my parents for a lifetime of love and encouragement. My dedication says the rest. Among the stu- dents, I am particularly indebted to Barbara Arnason, Janet Gil- trow, Anna Jean Mallinson, Juliet McLaren, and Diana Relke; it has been a privilege to work with them.
