Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Arthur Sturgis Hardy, QC was a lawyer and Liberal politician who served as the fourth Premier of Ontario, Canada, from 1896 to 1899. On January 19, 1870 he married Mary Morrison, daughter of Judge Joseph Curran Morrison. Hardy attended school at the Rockwood Academy in Rockwood, Ontario. He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 1873 and was promoted to the Cabinet of Sir Oliver Mowat in 1877 as Provincial Secretary. In 1889 as Commissioner of Crown Lands, Hardy established Algonquin Park. Entering his sixties and having been in government for over twenty years, Hardy lacked the energy and strength to take the government forward or excite the populace when he succeeded Mowat as both Premier and Attorney-General in 1896. In the 1898 election Hardy''s government was returned with a narrow six seat majority due to the collapse of the agrarian Patrons of Industry party which had served as the Liberal''s allies in the legislature. Exhausted and needing money, Hardy retired from politics in 1899 and died two years later from appendicitis
