Summary "A Cyclopædia of Canadian Biography" by Hector Willoughby Charlesworth is a historical account created in the early 20th century. The work offers brief biographies of notable Canadians who made significant contributions to various fields, including politics, military, commerce, and industry during the 1900s. The book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of individuals who played key roles in shaping the nation, reflecting on their achievements and the impact of their contributions over time. The opening of the book presents a preface that contextualizes the publication within the broader series of "Representative Canadians." It highlights the unique aim of documenting the lives of influential figures as Canada transitioned from a colonial status to a recognized nation, especially during a critical period marked by the First World War. The preface emphasizes the significance of these biographies in capturing the essence of Canadian society at that time, noting how many of the featured individuals became prominent due to their participation in war efforts, economic advancements, and public service, thus setting the stage for an expansive exploration of diverse Canadian lives.
