[T/if ll'eek, Toronto J " Dr. Kingsford has again shewn his power of appre- ci.iting and clfscrihing the characters of the, ictors in the great drama he i^resents to us. . . . We have in our former notices stated our appreciation of iJr. Kings- ford's qualifications for the great work he has per- formed so well ; his extensive knowledge, indefatigable industry, and deep, patriotic interest in his subject; and his honourable impartiality and fairness in the statement of facts, and the inferences he draws from them; and we hold the same opinion still and believe that he has faithfully performed his duty as an historian, without feir, favour or aflfection, so far as human frailty admits.'' Cnndifa Law Journal, Toronto. W. " Dr. Kingsford tells us in his preface, that the four volumes which have now appeared are but an intro- duction to the history of British rule in Canada, which he hopes eventually to carry down to the union of the two provinces in 1841. . . . The present instalment is a valuable contril)ution to historical knowledge, and by far the most complete presentment that lias been given of events and of the men who shaped them in North America. The author has wisely not confined his purview to the narrow limit.< of Canadian settlement, but has related the course of afTairs in Europe, which so largely influenced those of America, and has brought together from foreign as well as English archives, everything that bears on the "making" of the peoples that inhabit the northern portion, of the continent. These introductory volumes throv^ much light on the causes which were already in operation to pr (luce the American Revolution, so that they may Oe regarded as indispensable to a proper under- standing not only -of the early history oi Canada, but also of that of the other British provinces so soon to become the United States."
