ISBN:  9780771057199 (bound) 0771057199 (bound) Uniform title:  Speeches. Selections Alternate title:  Speeches of Sir John A. Macdonald Description:  xlvi, 486 p. ; 24 cm Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  " The Sir John A. Macdonald Bicentennial Commission set out several years ago to collect, annotate, and footnote all of our first Prime Minister's speeches. Rather shockingly, this had not been done before; the speeches of even the most minor of US presidents are available in print and e-book form. Obviously, such a collection is a must for libraries and educational institutions across the country as a matter of historical record, but the speeches also make for great reading. His words have a Churchillian feel to them--direct, decisive, visionary, and very often funny. Sir John A. is marvellously quotable, and through these speeches you understand how our country was formed, what its challenges were and often continue to be, and why our first PM was perhaps the best we'll ever have."--From publisher.
