| 520 | _a"Some Reminiscences of Old Victoria" by Edgar Fawcett is a collection of autobiographical essays written in the early 20th century. The text provides an engaging glimpse into the early days of Victoria, British Columbia, as seen through the eyes of the author who lived there in the 19th century. It combines personal anecdotes with historical observations, painting a vivid picture of the city and its pioneering days. The opening of the book offers a preface where Fawcett reflects on his reasons for writing these reminiscences after being ill. He recalls his childhood experiences in San Francisco before his family moved to Victoria in 1859. Fawcett shares fond memories of early life, touching upon significant events and figures of the time, such as his father's business ventures and the vibrant community of pioneers in Victoria. The narrative also includes entertaining anecdotes of his adventures as a young boy, highlighting the spirit, challenges, and social norms of the times, setting the tone for a rich tapestry of historical recollections that will follow in the subsequent chapters.
