MONTREAL. MONTREAL : DAWSOX BROTHERS, PUBLISHERS. 1881. TRAVELLERS' lAP OF CANADA. Dawson Brothers, in view of the great changes going on in the Railway system of Canada, have brought out a new edition of their Pocket Map, revised to January, 1881. In this all the Railways in operation or projected are shown. The new system of Quebec Railways— the Quebec Central—the South Eastern— the Inter- colonial—the Quebec and Ocpidental— amongst others are given. In Ontario — the Toronto and Ottawa — the Canada Central— the Credit Valley, &c. , &c. In New Brunswick— the New Brunswick and Canada. In Nova Scotia— the Annapolis Valley, Yarmouth and Eastern Roads. On a separate portion is shown the inlets to the North- West. A Sketch Map shows the great lines of travel between the Atlantic and Pacific. All the leading facts are given, and the publishers believe that there is no map extant which affords so much information concerning the Railways and great lines of communication throughout all the Provinces of the Dominion of Canada.

A cheap edition, without tlie i)lates, paper cover, $2.00. This beautiful and novel work contains 30 large photographed plates, and upwards of 150 pages of descriptive letter-press, figuring and describ- ing every .species of Eagle, Falcon, Hawk, Hu/.zard and Owl that is known to occur or occasionally to have visited Canada. The photographs, which are by Notman, who has interested himself iti tliis v.'ork, ,Tiid has DAWSON HKOTIiEUs' CATAUKil'K. bestowed upon it his utmost skill, arc niinutuly accurate i)ortraits of the (litl'ercnt birds themselves, and are ecjuallyiis jjood as preserved and mount- ed specimens, or even better, as these last take up generally more room than most people can spare. The lelter-press of the work is, throu^jhout, based upon the Author's personal observations in the Canadian field be- tween the years i860 and 1876, and is filled with new and original facts relating to the distribution, habits and nidification of these birds. It also contains the observations of recent American writers on several species concerning which there has been much controversy. The Intercolonial.

This book is not only a Treatise on Railway luigineering, but it con- t.iins the only extant full and detailed account of the jirocess, extending over many years, by which a large territory was taken from Canada, and finally handed over by the Ashburton Treaty to the .State of Maine. All ni'cessary illustrative matter in the shai>e of maps and extr.icts from treaties is given, so that the work is really a valuable contribution to Canailian History, showing how the distortion of the Canadian frontier was effected, and how the present unintelligible frontier w.as evolved. THE CIVIL LAW OF THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC. The Province of Quebec alone, among the British Provinces of America, possesses, through the French, the precious inheritance of the Roman Civil Law. This system of Law has been condensed into a Code, which, for clearness anil compactness, is not equalled by the Code of any other country in the world. The Civil Code or System of Law, and the Code of Procedure are con- tained in the two undermentioned volumes. They are beautifully jtrinted on ])aper specially made, and in very clear type. The volumes are so small that they can both be carried easily in the p'lcket.
