    FORTY YEARS FOR LABRADOR BY SIR WILFRED GRENFELL K.C.M.G., M.D. (OxoN.), F.R.C.S., F.A.C.S. WITH ILLUSTRATIONS LONDON HODDER AND STOUGHTON LIMITED 1934 FIRST PUBLISHED MARCH 1933 POPULAR EDITION OCTOBER 1934 COPYRIGHT 1 19191 BY WILFRED THOMASON GRENFELL COPYRlGHT, 19321 BY WILFRED GRENFELl. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO RRPRODUCIT. THIS BOOK. OR PARTS THEREOF IN ANY FORM Made tJttJd Pri•ted ;,. Great Britain. R. & R. CLARK, LIMITBD, Edi,./nwgh TO MY WIFE PREFACE A BIOLOGIST, watching one animal in his vivarium to see how an experiment turns out, expects to arrive nearer the truth as time elapses and the end draws near. Just so, spectators watch­ ing a runner in a race get more and more interested as the last lap approaches and the goal looms in sight. Then the runner's achievement is easier to appraise. Life's struggle, moreover, becomes increasingly interesting now that philosophers again permit us to regard results as dependent upon causes which are under the control of the individual runner to a very large extent. The title of this new record has been changed, to suggest that this is the last lap, and that deductions from the facts may be expected to be more mature and therefore more worth while, provided they are honest. The consciousness of having to live alongside the first venture into autobiography involved a kind of vivisection; for to have to tell the truth about one's real self carries with it the inescapable reproach of nudism, however salutary that may be for one's spiritual welfare, or however interesting to others.

See PMB on-line database catalogue at http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/pambu/catalogue/ for information sheets and detailed reel lists. PMB Manuscript series of Microfilms AU PMB MS 09 Title: Tapu: a tale of adventure in the South Seas (a novel) Date(s): After 1894 (Creation) Moors, Harry J. Extent and medium: 1 reel; 35mm microfilm Description: Harry J. Moors (1854-1926) was born in Detroit and died in Apia, Western Samoa. As an agent for the Hawaiian Board of Immigration, he made several voyages to the Gilbert Islands and Marshall Islands around 1880 to recruit labourers for Hawaii's sugar plantations. In 1883, he settled in Apia, Western Samoa, and became a successful trader and planter. Moors was closely associated with Robert Louis Stevenson during the novelist's five years (1889-1894) in Samoa and in 1910 he published a book of reminiscences entitled With Stevenson in Samoa. Moors stated in that book that Stevenson had once urged him to write down some of the 'wonderful stories' he had related to Stevenson about his early career. Moors acted on this encouragement, and after Stevenson died, he wrote two novels, of which Tapu: A Tale of Adventure in the South Seas is one. Neither of the novels was published. See also the Bureau's newsletter <1>Pambu, September 1968:4. The novel is based on Moors' experiences in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands as a labour recruiter for the Hawaiian Board of Immigration.

From the expansionist fever of the late nineteenth century to the redistribution of German territories immediately following the First World War, Canadians of varying backgrounds campaigned vigorously for Canada-West Indies union. Their efforts generated a transatlantic discourse that raised larger questions about Canada’s national trajectory, imperial organization, and the state of Britain’s Empire in the twentieth century. This dissertation explores the key ideas, tensions, and contradictions that shaped the union discourse over time. Race, nation and empire were central to this discourse.

    , National Library of Scotland * Some Account of the Family of Dennistoun of Dennistoun and Colgrain Some Account of the Family of Dennistoun of Dennistoun and Colgrain Glasgow Printed for Private Circulation by James MacLehose and Sons 1906 fi AUPISTGN CAS7I1. LiBRARYACCESS^j PREFACE I am having this short history of the Family of Dennistoun of Dennistoun and Colgrain, printed privately, for the benefit of the family and connections. The whole of the letterpress up to the death of James Dennistoun, No. XVIII., is from MSS. written by his son, the late James Dennistoun, which MSS. with copies of old charters, refer- ences, and further information, are in my possession. The Memoir of the above James Dennistoun is taken from the chapter dealing with the family of Dennistoun of Colgrain in Joseph Irving's History of Dunbartonshire; some copies of this Dennis- toun history were printed separately for the family. The short notices of my Grandmother, Father, Uncles, and Aunts are added by me ; while the notice of myself and my dear wife has been written by her nephew, Charles Sandbach Parker, who, I hope, will accept my sincere thanks. The pedigrees—with the exception of the family of Robert Dennistoun, most kindly sent to me by his grandson, Robert Maxwell Dennistoun—have been carefully prepared and arranged by my cousin, Harry W. Guthrie-Smith, mostly from the above-mentioned James Dennistoun's MSS., and from information gathered by the late John Guthrie-Smith, which information I believe to be strictly accurate. My thanks are also specially due to Mr. Harry W.

MEMORIALS OF THE FAMILIES OF LUMSDAINE, LUMISDEN OR LUMSDEN BY LIEUT.-COL. H. W. LUMSDEN LATE ROYAL ARTILLERY " Nam genus et proavos et quae non fecimus ipsi Vix ea nostra voco." Ovid, Met. DAVID DOUGLAS, CASTLE STREET, EDINBURGH I 889 PREFACE. TN laying before my kinsfolk these sketches of * family history a very short Preface will suffice. First of all, I wish to state in the most explicit manner that in the following pages there is absolutely no fancy work whatever. For everything recorded as a fact, proof, if attainable, is given. Where proof was unattainable no supposition, however plausible, has been allowed to take its place. In all such cases I have been careful to point out that the missing link is at best a probability. I have endeavoured to be accurate, but I do not presume to think that I have made no mistakes. Again and again I have had cause to lament that my ignorance of legal phraseology has hindered me from grasping the full significance of the documents which have passed through my hands ; and thus vi PREFACE. I may sometimes have missed facts which might have cleared up difficulties in the history of the various lands at any time in possession of the name. I may be blamed for not having followed but to the remotest twig the ramifications of the families, but the thing was simply impossible without an appalling expenditure of time, labour, and money, which after all might have yielded very insignificant results.
