Consider!
- The tradition of spoken communication may be stronger
among French-speaking Canadians; written communication may be
stronger among English-speaking Canadians.
- The sequence of “Collective Libraries 1779-1830,”
“Mechanics’ Institutes 1828-1852,” and “Public Libraries 1891”
demonstrates the continuing quest among Canadians for enhanced
communication and record-keeping.
