John English is general editor of the Dictionary of Canadian Biography at the University of
Toronto and distinguished professor emeritus at the University of Waterloo.
Editor’s note: having elected to step down as editor of the lessons
of history series after three rewarding years, I asked the esteemed
Canadian historian John English to close my editorial contribution
to the series by ref‌lecting on the essays that have appeared in
volumes 64-66 of this journal and to ask whether there are lessons
to be learned from the lessons of history. I am deeply grateful to David
Haglund and Joseph Jockel for the opportunity to be a part of the
IJ family, to Andrew Preston for passing on to me an already well-
established and f‌lourishing series, and to Rima Berns-McGown for
her managerial excellence.
