Excerpt from A History of the Dominion of Canada The Dominion of Canada stretches from Ocean to Ocean. On the east, between it and Europe, lies the Atlantic; on the west, the broad Pacific separates it from Japan and China in Eastern Asia. On the south, it is bounded by the United States, from which it is separated in part by the Great Lakes; northward it loses itself in the islands Of the Arctic Ocean. The sun, which makes the circuit Of the earth in twenty-four hours, is five hours in crossing this wide land from east to west; so that when it is noon in Vancouver Island it is five o'clock in the evening in Cape Breton.
