THE DOMINION CURTIUS.
Another ironical allusion to Sir Francis Hincks’ vast “personal sacrifice” in accepting the emoluments of office. The allusion is to the classic story of Curtius saving Rome by jumping into the chasm. The attendant heroes are Honorable George Brown and Sir John Macdonald.
Diogenes, November 19th, 1869.
