Proceedings of the P . G . L . of Canada West , and of the Antient Grand Lodge of Canada . Toronto , September , 1857 . This pamphlet gives a clear and detailed account of the steps which have been taken in the erection of the P . G . L . into an independent G . L . ; and we feel bound to express our decided opinion that , however much we may regret the course adopted , there can be no doubt as to its strict legality . Hampshire ; being Two Lectures delivered by the Earl of Carnarvon .
Routledge , 1857 . These lectures , which were delivered in the Town-Jiall at Basingstoke , fully maintain Lord Carnarvon's character for eloquence and historical knowledge . We give an extract upon the value of local associations : — ' Jn England , after you have drawn the broad distinction of town and country , the county is the unit and centre of social and political organisation . Within its boundaries we are , for many purposes , an independent and self-governing
community . To us these histories and traditions are no meaningless tale . They are a commentary on the present , they explain the associations of property and family , the interchange of mutual respect and kindly offices religiously handed down from father to son . And further , as hy a general law human affections grow in intensity just as you reduce the circle of their operations , so historians have truly pointed out that small states are the happiest ,
large states are the most powerful and prosperous . Our constitution , practically adapting itself to this douhle principle , gives us all the social happiness of the small state , and the power and prosperity which result from living under one great and undivided government . Whilst it upholds the unity of the whole , it also maintains the vitality of each distinct part . By the separate organisation , by the individual life of each county , it creates and fosters local affections , and sympathies , and duties ; by our common law and legislation , by our race and language , by the varied skein of our history , interwoven with the triumphs of
the past , the anxieties of the present , and the hopes of the future , it knits us together as an undivided and indivisible people , and gathers up each scattered ray of light into the common halo of national glory and devotion . To this great end each local feeling and affection subserve . They not only adorn hut they also strengthen the pillars of our state : and let each and all of us , whatever may be our several spheres of action , remember that in honoring our county we are directly honoring our country ; in doing our duty by Hampshire , we are doing our duty by England , by that constitution which has been truly said
to be the envy and admiration of all people , the pattern of the politician , the theme of the eloquent , the meditation of the philosopher , the pride and the consolation of the Englishman , by which lie lives and for which he is ready to die . For my own part , I can only rejoice in any opportunity which affords me the occasion of offering my tribute , however slight , to a county to which I am bound by so many tics of duty and affection as I am to Hampshire .
