Eddystone

Eddystone is a group of rocks about 14 miles off the coast of England southwest of Plymouth, on which there is an important lighthouse (Eddystone Lighthouse)indicating the approaches to the English Channel.

Thomas D'Arcy McGee commented that Canada's foundations were as "strong as the foundations of Eddystone" (The Globe, 31 October 1864, 4).

The term "Foundations of Eddystone" was used as a chapter title in Frederick Vaughan's The Canadian Federalist Experiment: from Defiant Monarchy to Reluctant Republic (Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2003).
