Abstract
NEARLY seven years ago LordDufferin, then governor-general of Canada, suggested to Gov. Robinson of New York that the governments of the province of Ontario and the state of New York should purchase such lands about Niagara Falls as would be required to give free access to the principal points of view, and serve to restore and preserve the natural scenery of the great cataract, beside securing to visitors freedom from those vexatious annoyances which now abound. Subsequently the governor-general called the attention of the government of Ontario to the matter, and recommended cooperation with the state of New York in accomplishing this purpose.
