J. W. D. October 13 1922. CONTENTS PART 1. LAURIER A STUDY IN CANADIAN POLITICS PART 2. LAURIER AND EMPIRE RELATIONSHIPS Part 3. FIFTEEN YEARS OF PREMIERSHIP LAURIER A STUDY IN CANADIAN POLITICS THE CLIMB TO POWER. THE life story of Laurier by Oscar D. Skelton is the official biography of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Official biographies of public men have their uses they supply material for the definitive biography which in the case of a great man is not likely to be written by one who knew him in the flesh. An English public man who was also a novelist and poet wrote Ne er of the living can the living judge Too blind the affection or too fresh the grudge. The limitation is equally true in the case of one like Sir Wilfrid Laurier who though dead will be a factor of moment in our politics for at least another generation. Professor Skelton s book is interesting and valuable but not conclusive. The first volume is a political history of Canada from the sixties until 1896 with Laurier in the setting at first inconspicuously but growing to greatness and leadership. For the fifteen years of premiership the biographer is concerned lest Sir Wilfrid should not get the fullest credit for whatever was achieved while in dealing with the period after 1911 constituting the anti-climax of Laurier s career Mr. Skelton is avowedly the alert and eager partisan bound to find his hero right and all those who disagreed with him wrong. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is described in the preface
