During recent years, this history has been practically unobtain- able, owing to the marketed edition — which was a limited one — being exhausted. Only at intervals has a set been available through the break-up of some good library or from some other remote source. The set offered in this list is like new, having never been used. It is improbable that this book will be reprinted. The present opportunity is exceptional, as we were fortunate, at the winding up of the Kings- ford Estate, in securing a small remainder that had practically been forgotten for many years. U^ HISTORY OF CANADA. 1608-1841. By William Kingsford, U.D., F.R.S. In Ten Volumes Complete. With an average of some 500 pages per tolume, there are ooer 5600 pp., Ige. 8co., Toronto, 1887-98. With many superior maps and complete indices; fine paper and printing: full cloth, as fresh as new. {Carriage charges extra) $S6.00 \'t^%% n I -^ o ^1^1 ^i PERIODS COVERED BY THE Volume 1-1608-1682 Volume 2-1679-1725 Volume 3-1726-1756 Volume 4-1756-1763 Volume 5-1763-1775 INDIVIDUAL VOLUMES Volume 6-1776-1779 Volume 7-1779-1807 Volume &-1808-1815 Volume 9—1815-1836 Volume 10-1836-1841 For the aid of student and reader alike, Mr. Kingsford considers this narrative of history under the two main divisions: "Canada Under French Rule" and "Canada Under British Rule", the first four volumes being devoted to the former, and the last six to the Utter. The main epochs are dealt with under thirty-six separate divisions. Over two hundred pages of double column annotated Index constitute an important reference feature of this work. Of these Indices, the Author states: "My effort has been to include every historical event, and the name of every actor of importance so that they may be easily referred to." Each volume also has its own extra-full annotated Table of Contents. Several docu- ments, not accessible to many readers or students, have been pubhshed at length herein for reference, and "some of these documents are now made generally known for the first time." The Author also states: "I do not know of one source of information I havfc failed to consult." and the text includes many references to authorities upon which his statements are based. The First Four Volumes A brief scanning of the first four volumes discloses the fact that besides the matters germaine to the Canadian narrative, such as Frontenac's Adminutration down to the Peace of Utrecht: Acadia through the years of 1689 to 1755: the history of Hudson's Bay; or the C^vemments of De Callieres, De VauAeml. and Beauhamois. the Author has also discerningly introduced some of the events which took place synchronously in America.-the then Southern British provmces. Accordingly, we find consideration of De U Salle's descent of the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico: an account of Louisiana in its relationship with Cana. or a consideration of the destruction of Oswego by MontcaLn. The Last Six Volumes In the last six volumes, the Author examines the influences which contributed to the American Revolution, which to some exte-it is a part of Canadian history- a consideration which demands more or less detai'ing of the subsequent events up to the Treaty of Versailles. Indeed, much of the history of the northern part of the United States ca.jiot be dissevered from that of Canada. We find m these six volumes the unfolding of the events of Upper Canada first as rivals, then as unit-^d, and finally cokifederated with the whole of British North America. We here, again, find consideration of events more or less separate to Onada. such as: The Indian Wars of 1763-64: the events-remote and direct-leading up to the 'mimmm. narrative lule" and le former, thirty-six ted Index dices, the t, and the J." Each eral docu- 1 at length illy known source of erences to passing of the Quebec Act and the Peace of Paris; the Governments of Murray, Carleton, Haldimand, Hope, Simcoe, Hamilton, and the many other members of a long line of distinguished and able administrators: the troubles of 18 1 2, with their causes, results, and international significance (one full volume); a recording of the events and times preceding the Rebellions of 1837. which are essential to a right understanding (^ this period, but which are seldom treated with the same importance or thoroughness, (one full volume): and the Rebellions of 1837 and 1838 in both Provinces, (one full volume). But, interwoven with all this we find much that was once regarded as distinctly American history. This work, of necessity, includes much detailed examination of the remarkable events of the quarrel with the revolted British G)lonies, and the War which led to the Inde- pendence of the present United States; the War of 1812-14 with that Republic; an attempt to set forth the causes owing to which Canada remained a part of the British Dominion; the narrative of the invasion of Canada by the troops of Congress; the narrative of Arnold's advance by Kennebec and Chaudiere to the south of the St. Lawrence; relations between Great Britain and the United States; Vermont negotiations; Burgoyne's Campaign; and the U. E. Loyalists. sesides the linistration 1755; the dreuil, and the events I provinces, ssiasippi to Cana<' or contributed in history — it events up lem part of ind in these als, then as nerica.

This ten-volume history has been characterized as "Authentic, Accurate. Analytical," and constitutes the only really comprehensive History of Canada. "In the judgment of all competent men Kingsford's Canada is the most perfect historical composition on (^nadian History. It is scrupulously faithful as to facts, consummate in its literary art. yet every page is teeming with interest and romance. It has been carefully scrutinized by historians and pronounced the one outstanding permanent record of Canadian etenb." In line with this high credential are the statements of Kingsford himself, and of many reputable journals: "My feeling has been that, while I should present my narrdive with concise- ness and congruity, I should not fail from any insufficiency of fact. I may reped what I have already said, that I hate neter wittingly mfsrepreserded an eteni, or suppressed an incident, which might ittterfere With my own preconceitted oiew." — Kingsford in the Preface to his last volume. i "Tht only rieal Mr. Kingsford has h fear is Mr. Francis Parkntan, and the only mUer who has gioen ecidenee of being a match for Mr. Parkman is Mr. Kingsford." — London Athenaeum. This work represents the results of a life's study, and was eleven years in course of publication. It is needless to say that a scarce work of such special intrinsic value for North American, Colonial and Gmadian History, is advancing in price. It is believed tiiat when this work is more adequately appreciated and sought for. complete sets may command a price of one hundred dollars or even substantially more.
