PREFACE.
Since the pablication ofthe last Edition of the Com-
panion in 1891 a greater number ofchangeshave occurred M
in the leadership of the dominatingpoliticalparty than at
anyother period during the history ofCanada. Sir John
A. Macdonald, Sir John J. C. Abbott, Sir John S* D.
Tiiompson, Sir Mackenzie Bowel), Sir Charles Tupper,
Bart., and Hon. Wilfrid Laurier have all successively been
Prime MinistersofCanada within the comparatively short
period of six years. The General Election ofJunCi 1896,
resulted in the Liberal-Conservative Government being
obliged to give way to a Ministry from the Liberal party.
A
change has also taken place in the Premiership in all
the provinces save that of Manitoba. General Elections
have also largely changed the complexion of the several
legislatures.
The arrangement of the information in the former
editions has been followed except the portion relating to
the Imperial Honoursborne by Canadians, which hasbeen
given a more prominent place in the present edition.
Heretofore the information on this subject could only be
gleaned at some trouble fromEnglish publications, and the
Editor believes that the general Hot given in the
Companion will prove interesting. The Tables of Pre-
cedence and Titles in Canada have been carefully prepared
from the Imperial despatches relating to the subject, and
may be relied upon as correct* In conclusion, the Editor
desires to thank his numerous correspondents and friends
for information supplied to him.
