CASKKT PRESENTED BY THE PARLIAMENT OF CANADA

MANUr*CTUHEO OV M BIRKS A SOSS. MONTHFAL.

«^i

DESCRIPTION OF CASKET

^N Designing this tribute the makers aimed at keeping every feature
essentially Canadian.

The Casket proper is of birds-eye-maple, 18f inches long by 14 inches
wide, standing on four gold feet, each one formed by a cluster of maple
leaves, with their stalks.

Around the base is a row of gold maple leaves, broken in the centre of
the front by a beaver, resting on a scroll.

Eising from this base, and supporting the cornice, are sixteen columns,
with gold capitals and bases. These columns are of Labradorite, which
with its weird, bluish, opalescent tints, is the most beautiful of Canada's
semi- precious stones.

Between the columns are ten massive gold shields on which are illustrated views of the
ton principleCanadian cities, while in the centre ofthe front are the Royal Arms in has relief.
Above the cornice, and extending along the front and sides, are nine shields bearing
the Dominion Arms, the Arms of the Seven Provinces and of the North West Territories.
Above these again is another line of gold maple leaves, while in the centre ofthe top,
surmounted by a bas relief ofthe Lion, Crown, and the dates 1837-1897 is a massive gold
plate bearing the inscription.

The entire casket stands on a birds-eye-maple base 21 inches long by 16 inches wide.

The workmanship is exquisite in eveiy detail, and when it is considered that the

entire piece was turned out in ten days, Canadians may well feel proud of their goldsmiths.

nOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN

▼ ▼ ▼

E, Your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the Senate and (blaak left
for House of Commons) of Canada, in Parliament assembled, beg to
oifer our sincere congratulations on the happy completion of the
sixtieth year of your aunpicious reign.

When, on the memorable occasion of Your Majesty's Golden
Jubilee, the representative of your loyal Canadian people joined those
of other parts of the Empire in expressing their heartfelt pleasure
that, by the grace of God, the nation had for half a century enjoyed
the inestimable benefit ^r ;, mr Majesty's constitutional and beneficient
rule, they stated their earnest hope that your Majesty might be spared
for many more years to roign over your loyai subjects.

A decade has since passed, and to-day we contemplate with renewed satisfaction the
fact that Your Majesty is still the head of the State. Not only have none of your
illustrious predecessors sat on the throne of our country for so extended a period, but in
the history of the nations of the world few monarchs have ruled so long and none have
been so universally honored and revered.

Looking back across the sixty years which have elapsed since Your Majesty's

9 »

Cdronation, it is impossible not to be impressed with tbe immense strides which during
that period have been made by the civilized world in all that constitutes the moral,
intellectual and well-being of mankind. The gospel of our Divine Teacher has been
preached in the remotest parts of the earth, temperance in all things has become more
than at any previous period an accepted rule of human conduct, more adequate provision
has been made for suffering humanity, the administration of justice has been placed on a
more humane and otherwise satisfactory basis, grout advances have been made in science
and the arts, and the literature of the Victorian era surpasses that of any former period
in breadth of thought and general excellence as well as in volume and popular
appreciation. By the establishment of railway and steam communication, the in-
auguration of an improved postal system, the invention of the electric telegraph and
telephone, as well as the general utilization of electric power, and by an indefinite number
of other agencies, the comfort and convenience of the ]>eoplo have been immensely
increased. During the same period the Empire has been enlarged and its scattered
ijdembers brought into more intimate fellowship with one another and with the Mother-
land. Your Majesty's Colonies in North America have but with one exception, been
gradually consolidated into a united Dominion the people of which have been, and we
believe will continue to be, amongst the most loyal of the races and peoples owing fealty
to the British Crown.

We trust that we and Your Majesty's subjects in other parts of the Empire may
continue for many yeare to come to enjoy the benefit of your gracious and peaceful rule,
and we earnestly pray that Ho, who is the supremo King of Kings, may endow Your
Majesty with every blessing in what remains to you of this life, and with everlasting
felicity in the life to come.

THE ALBUM AND CABINET

DESCRIPTION OF ALBUJVi

ONTRB AL'S Address is bound in the form of an album of finest red
morocco leather, 19 inches long by 14 inches wide (made in the
Gazette Bindery).

On the back is stamped the Royal Monogram in gold.
Three massive gold shields are the prominent features on the
front cover. The centre one, six inches long by three and a half
inches wide, bears the Royal Arms in relief. 'I he left hand shield,
four inches long by two and three-eights wide, bears the Montreal
Arms, while the right hand one, of the same size, bears the Provincial
Arms of Quebec, both of these also in relief.
The maple leaf and fleurde-lis, which appear in the Arras of the Province, are wrought
into the borders of these shields.

The album is fastened by two heavy gold clasps, beautifully chased in the form of
maple leaves.

In all the gold work, weight and fine workmanship were aimed at, rather than
great display.

A birds-eye maple cabinet, lined with royal purple velvet, holds the album, and on
top of this cabinet is a large gold plate surmounted by a lion and crown, on which is
engraved the inscription.

HOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN

▼ ▼ ▼

'HE citizens of Montreal dcHire to offer to your Mujesty u huinl^lo ex-
pression of the joy and thunicfuiness vvitli wliicli tliey ^reet tlio anni-
versary tliut ci-owns the longest, as it has been the happiest, reign in
British history.

With the whole body of your Majesty's loyal and devoted Hubjeeis
in every portion of the Kmpire, they render thanks to (rod for this
memorable opportunity for associating themselves with their (^ueen in the
heart-stirring retrospect of the past sixty years. The}- rejoice to com-
memorate a reign whose greatness hsw been founded upon goodness, and
whose glories all nations may hold in highest reverence.
Your reign has been a reign of peace.

Your conquests have been the fruit of a wise policy, and you have followed, wherever
possible, the methods of peaceful negotiations. In the adjustment of those internal

disturbances which are the inevitable incidents of a people's history, you have trusted less
to force than to wise conciliation. This peace has been "peace with honor" and with
justice.

Your reign has been a reign of liberty.

Civil and political rights have been assured to all ; educational opportunities have
been greatly inci-eased and widely extended, and the claims of conscience have everywhere
been recognized. The development and triumph of constitutional government within the
Empire has been largely the fruit of your Majesty's wise rule. In our own Dominion,
constitutional government, prudently administered, has enabled us to surmount many
provincial, racial and religious diliiculties ; and we rejoice to assure your Majesty that
nowhere has your Majesty a more loyal, law-abiding and contented people than in Canada.

Your reign has been a reign of prosperity.

A marvellous and unparalleled growth has been witnessed in the sphere of com-
mercial, scientific and industrial progress. And in this connection, your people cannot
forget the debt due to one, who, in an age of warlike proclivities, conceived and carried to
triumphant success the first world's exhibition, the beneficent fruits of which we are
reaping to-day.

Prince Albert still lives in our hearts as in yours.

The development of railway enterprise and navigation has gone hand in hand with
scientific discovery, and your subjects in the colonies across the seas may i-ecall in par-
ticular, how submarine cables, unknown before your day, have linked together the most
distant portions of your Empire.

Of this prosperity the city of Montreal has enjoyed an ample share. She has seen,
since your Majesty's accession to the Throne, her population increase six- fold, her harbor

correspondingly enlarged, the bridge that bears your name built over the waters of her
peerless river, direct communication established from ocean to ocean, wealth flowing in
from every quarter to what has become one of the greatest centres of commerce and
industry.

Nor have the needs of intellectual progress been neglected. Without forgetting those
works of charity which help to sweeten the life of the poor, our city has at the same time
applied herself, by her universities, colleges and schools, to disseminate learning every-
where within her precincts, and in many other ways to elevate the tone and standard of
living in the community of which she is the most active centre.

Your Majesty's reign has witnessed a marvellous extension of the Empire, but with
that extension the ties binding the colonies to the Motherland have not been weakened or
impaired. On the contrary, they have been greatly strengthened and firmly cemented.
Your Canadian subjects cordially appreciate your Majesty's intimate knowledge of their
Dominion, and the great and unceasing interest you have manifested in its welfare. They
remembei" with pride the presence among them of members of the Royal family, officially
and privately. They delight to honour the able and distinguished men whom your
Majesty has sent as representatives; and from one end of Canada to the other, the
marked distinction conferred upon a late premier of the Dominion, in his life and in his
death, will ever be held in grateful recollection.

To our hearty acknowledgment of your Majesty's wise, gracious and glorious rule,
we cannot refrain from adding the expression of our profound admiration of your
Majesty's personal character and e.:"niplo. To you we owe much of the purity of both
our public and our domestic life. Your kindly recognition of all service rendered by any
of your subjects ; your encouragement of everything tending to elevate and refine the

people; uhd your bountiful Hyinputhy with, and gonorouM charity towaitls dlHtrosH of
ovory kind and in cvory portion of your i*oahn, havo won for you a warm place in the
hearts of all your people. Your wish that this annivoi-Hury whouid be connccrated to wise
and gcnerouM jM'oviHion for the wantM of your j)ooror Bubjecta, hu8 touched our HympathicH
and deej)ened our atteetion.

The sixty yeai-s of j'our Majesty's reign havo boon sixty years of happiness for your
subjects ; and this address, which we havo tho honor to present unitod'y in English and
French, tho two official languages of tho Dominion, is no moi*o form of words, but a
genuine expression of loyalty and lovo.

Your wise rule and beautiful life will ever be cherished by your subjects as a precious
inheritance.
