- VICTORIA ILLUSTRATED.
THE necessity for such a work as the one now presented, has, during recent years, become generally recognized by all having at heart the
interests of Victoria, and of the magnificent Province of which it is the Capital, Hence this book requires little, if any, introduction
to its readers at home. To the public at large, for whom it is principally intended, it is sufficient to say that the object of the
publication is to give in as concise form as possible, a few facts regarding a city, whose substantial growth and natural advantages are
without parallel in the Dominion of Canada.
In the following pages will be found a necessarily brief history of this beautiful and prosperous city, its tributary resources, and of
some of the enterprising and far-seeing men who appreciating its great value as a centre of trade, and the wealth of the resources of the
tributary country, have aided iii making it the richest and most important city in the Province of British Columbia.
