Вступление мистера Фицпатрика в общественную жизнь произошло в 1891 году, когда он был избран членом Палаты общин провинции Квебек, представляя свой родной округ. Он занимал это место до 1896 года, когда стал успешным кандидатом в Палату общин Доминиона. Его общие способности и достижения как юриста к этому времени стали настолько заметными, что, когда в том же году сэр Уилфрид Лорье организовал свое правительство, он назначил мистера Фицпатрика на должность генерального солиситора. В 1900 году он был переизбран подавляющим большинством голосов либеральным членом от Квебека в избирательном округе, который был в значительной степени консервативным. В 1902 году, после возведения достопочтенного Дэвида Миллса на скамью Верховного суда, мистер Фицпатрик был призван на свой нынешний пост министра юстиции.

Политический успех мистера Фицпатрика становится тем более примечательным, что девяносто процентов избирателей Квебека — франко-канадцы, в то время как он сам — ирландец.

В дополнение к его ораторским способностям, его пониманию правовых принципов и его сильному личному магнетизму, одной из его преобладающих черт является энергия. О нем говорили, что в дни своей юности он имел привычку вставать так рано утром, что успевал тщательно проанализировать свои дела и сформулировать план действий до того, как другие юристы вставали с постели. В настоящее время его самым поглощающим интересом является проект линии Тихоокеанской железной дороги Гранд-Транк через весь континент. Именно он составил контракт на это предприятие, и он был его главным защитником в правовых аспектах против многих нападок, которым он подвергался со стороны противников правительства сэра Уилфрида Лорье.

Мистер Фицпатрик приписывает свою тягу к работе тому факту, что он всегда был человеком, любящим активный отдых. В ранние годы его репутация как спортсмена была так же велика в Квебеке, как и его слава как юриста. Он женился на дочери покойного лейтенанта Карора и таким образом стал тесно связан с одной из старейших франко-канадских семей, которая восходит к ранним дням канадской истории.

Нет более восторженного верующего в будущее Канады, чем мистер Фицпатрик. В 1903 году он совершил поездку по Северо-Западу и выразил свое удивление его чудесными ресурсами. По его мнению, проектируемая линия Гранд-Транк Пасифик, добавляющая еще одну железную дорогу к транспортным средствам этой территории, превратит ее в один из самых богатых и продуктивных регионов, не только по зерну, но и по минералам, которые когда-либо знал мир.

Джордж Уильям Росс.

Достопочтенный Джордж Уильям Росс, премьер-министр провинции Онтарио, родился недалеко от Лондона, Онтарио, в 1841 году. Его отец был шотландцем, который после переезда в Канаду стал процветающим фермером. Мистер Росс начал свою активную жизнь как сельский школьный учитель. Правительство провинции Онтарио в 1871 году установило систему школьных инспекторов, и он был назначен на одно из этих мест. На всеобщих выборах следующего года мистер Росс был выбран представлять Консервативную партию в западном округе своего родного графства и был избран в Палату общин Доминиона. Именно его способности как оратора принесли ему эту честь. В то время он был членом «Сынов воздержания», и именно на собраниях этого общества он воспользовался своими первыми возможностями развить и проявить свои дары как публичного оратора. С тех пор он говорил, что этот опыт выступления на ногах был для него неоценим, и он советует всем молодым людям, которые желают приобрести дар публичных выступлений, присоединиться к дискуссионному обществу или другой организации, члены которой готовы слушать начинающее красноречие.

Мистер Росс стал министром образования провинции Онтарио в 1883 году, а в 1887 году добился принятия закона о федерации конфессиональных колледжей Торонто в единое целое — Университет Торонто. Он инициировал другие образовательные реформы и существенно повысил уровень государственного образования в провинции. Мистер Росс оставил свою работу в этой специальной области в 1900 году, чтобы стать премьер-министром Онтарио. Он был заметно связан с движениями в поддержку трезвости и имеет почетные степени в пяти канадских университетах. Одним из его отличительных качеств является универсальность. Он интересуется астрономией и имеет выраженную литературную склонность, написав биографические очерки и некоторые стихи.

Лорд Маунт-Стивен.

Несмотря на то, что лорд Маунт-Стивен не проживал в Канаде в течение ряда лет, он должен быть включен в любую группу важных деятелей Доминиона. Он сыграл ведущую роль в создании канадского содружества. Нельзя упускать из виду жизненную важность его работы для Канадской тихоокеанской железной дороги. Лорд Маунт-Стивен и лорд Страткона были двумя великими личностями, которые провели проект трансконтинентальной линии через темный период финансового шторма и стресса. Лорд Маунт-Стивен реорганизовал или построил несколько других железных дорог в Канаде и был очень тесно связан со многими из самых важных коммерческих движений Доминиона.

Как и многие другие люди, добившиеся замечательного успеха в Канаде, лорд Маунт-Стивен — шотландец, родившийся в этой стране в 1829 году. В детстве он был пастухом в Хайленде и служил учеником в Абердине. Впоследствии он получил работу в Лондоне, а в 1850 году переехал в Канаду, где его дядя, Уильям Стивен, занимался шерстяным бизнесом. Молодой человек был принят в партнерство, а после смерти дяди выкупил его долю в фирме, которая неуклонно росла в важности в производстве шерстяных изделий. Финансовое положение лорда Маунт-Стивена в то время подтверждается тем фактом, что он стал директором ведущего банковского учреждения Канады, Банка Монреаля, вице-президентом которого он впоследствии был. Именно благодаря этой финансовой известности, а также его великим способностям, он смог построить великолепную структуру успеха из того, что казалось в то время обломками проекта Канадской тихоокеанской железной дороги. В знак признания его заслуг перед ее владениями за океаном королева Виктория посвятила его в рыцари в 1886 году, а несколько лет спустя возвела его в пэрство с титулом лорда Маунт-Стивена, титул, предложенный пиком в Скалистых горах под названием Маунт-Стивен, который сам был назван в честь способного шотландца. Лорд Маунт-Стивен ушел с поста президента Канадской тихоокеанской железной дороги в 1888 году и с тех пор проводил большую часть своего времени в Англии. Однако он сохранил некоторые свои интересы в Канаде и помнил о многочисленных больницах и других учреждениях щедрыми взносами.

ТЕМАТИЧЕСКИЙ УКАЗАТЕЛЬ.

Вступительное примечание.

«Маленькие визиты» — это не просто сборник рассказов или коллекция биографий и автобиографий. Жизненные истории, которые он содержит, чрезвычайно интересны, многие из них даже драматичны. Автобиографии — то есть жизненные истории выдающихся мужчин и женщин, рассказанные ими самими, — уникальны; такой коллекции больше нигде не существует. Однако это не просто книга, которую нужно прочитать один раз ради историй и отложить в сторону.

«Маленькие визиты» — это коллекция идей, каждая из которых отмечена клеймом великой личности. Она содержит симпозиумы пятидесяти шести мужчин и женщин — которые по общему согласию считаются достигшими успеха — об элементах и методах успешной карьеры. Чтобы сделать это богатство идей легко и быстро доступным в качестве помощи тем всех возрастов, кто стремится достичь чего-то большего, чем обычное в жизни, мы подготовили этот тематический указатель. Он представляет собой учебный план для изучения великих проблем человеческой жизни и судьбы.

Ранние преимущества, удача, друзья, влияние, окружающая среда и наследственность — дефекты в которых так часто приводятся для оправдания неудач — получают мало внимания. Тот факт, что возможность существует внутри самого человека; возможность самообразования через чтение и домашнее обучение; важность выбора правильной карьеры; методы и качества, которые следует практиковать и культивировать; и идеалы, к которым следует стремиться — это вечные семена мыслей, которые должны быть посажены в умы и сердца нашего собственного и грядущих поколений, и они составляют содержание настоящих томов.

Учения «Маленьких визитов» многогранны. Свет проливается на каждую проблему с любого угла. Многие точки зрения представлены различными ораторами. Слова каждого, взвешенные огромными достижениями и хорошо известной репутацией всех, не могут не погрузиться глубоко в сознание каждого читателя. Подобное порождает подобное. Идеи великих людей — это по существу великие идеи, и в свою очередь они порождают величие в жизнях всех, кто принимает и следует им.

Внимание родителей и учителей, а также амбициозной молодежи обоих полов направлено на полезность этого тематического указателя (а также биографического указателя, который предшествует ему) при подготовке к торжественным обязанностям правильного руководства жизнями, которые доверены их попечению, и для саморуководства. Материал, проиндексированный здесь для удобной справки, абсолютно бесценен для подготовки гомилий, проповедей, обращений и неформальных бесед с молодежью, или, действительно, с любой аудиторией. Острые и содержательные анекдоты и инциденты из жизни выдающихся людей, каждый из которых подтвержден тем фактом, что они даны на языке самого оратора, чрезвычайно ценны для целей иллюстрации. Книга особенно рекомендуется в качестве источника материала при подготовке сочинений, тем и эссе, а также за ее культурную ценность, как дополнительное чтение для учеников в наших обычных и средних школах.
