INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 
 
 "There are," says John Hill Burton, in his interesting work The Book-Hunter, 
 " sometimes agreeable and sometimes disappointing surprises in encountering the 
 interiors of books. The title-page is not always a distinct intimation of what is 
 to follow." Now, however sensible I niay be of the many demerits of this volume, 
 resulting from various uncontrollable causes, I am yet convinced of its utility and 
 benefit ; and may therefore venture to indulge in the hope that it will prove the 
 reverse of disappointing to the reader. And lest the title-page should not convey 
 a sufficient knowledge of what are the contents of the book, I shall here proceed 
 briefly to enumerate them : 
 
 Fh'st. An Alphabetical List of the authors of works, pamphlets and contribu- 
 tions to the periodical press, written in, or by natives of, or relating to the several 
 Provinces, now constituting the Dominion of Canada, their history, affairs and 
 resources ; to which is prefixed brief biographical notices of the several authors, 
 followed by a catalogue of their productions, the place and year of publication, the 
 number oT pages and the size of each work' or pamphlet, the title and year of pub- 
 lication of the magazine, periodical, or journal in which the papers or contributions 
 mentioned have appeared, with succinct notices of the press, or criticisms thereon 
 from competent authorities. 
 
 Second. Brief biographical sketches of the principal Canadian journalists, or 
 newspaper writers, past and present, detailing their services in the cause of the 
 press, and their connection with public affairs generally. 
 
 The whole forming a compendious record or history of Canadian Bibliography 
 or Literature, from the time of the Conquest of Quebec down to the present year 
 
 There were various reasons which at the present time impelled the writer to 
 take up the subject of Canadian Bibliography : — First, the not unworthy ambition 
 to render some slight aid to the nascent Literature of our native country, by exhi- 
 biting to the rising youth of the New Dominion the extent of our intellectual 
 development as evinced in the literary efforts which have from time to time been 
 made in the country, and which would serve as examples and an incentive to those 
 in the same field. It has been said by Dr. Johnson that " the chief glory of a 
 nation lies in its authors," and it might well be added that no nation can be con- 
 sidered truly great which does not possess some literary power and excellence. 
 " If we consider" says a writer in the Canadian Magazine^ (Mont. 1824,)— a perio- 
 dical which evinced more decided literary ability than any one which has succeeded 
 it in this country — " the effect of science and literature on the minds of men, in 
 drawing them nearer together in bonds of unanimity and social order, and in the 
 formation of laws to govern, and at the same time, giving a proper idea of freedom to 
 uphold their relative situation the one with the other ; we shall find that the most 
 enlightened ages have been the most productive of happiness, independence and 
 glory." 
 
viii INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 
 
 There is just now, and has been for some years past, a perceptible movement 
 on the part of the two great branches, French and English, which compose our New 
 Nationality, and principally amongst the younger men, to aid the cause of Canadian 
 Literature by their own personal contributions to that Literature. The present 
 time is without doubt most opportune for such a movement. We are just entering 
 upon the commencement of a new, and it is sincerely to be hoped, — a bright and 
 glorious epoch in our history — an epoch which now sees us firmly implanted on 
 the American Continent as a vigorous and highly promising State, Federally consti- 
 tuted, full of brilliant hopes and fond yearnings for national greatness and renown — 
 of important achievements to be performed — of high purposes and resolves to create 
 for Canada an independent position, and a name which shall be symbolical of 
 wisdom and enlightenment worthy of our British lineage and antecedents. 
 
 Now more than at any other time ought the literary life of the New Dominion 
 develope itself unitedly. It becomes every patriotic subject who claims allegiance 
 to this our new northern nation to extend a fostering care to the native plant, to 
 guard it tenderly, to support and assist it by the warmest countenance and 
 encouragement. 
 
 Were I to write an essay on Canadian Literature and its claims to recogni- 
 tion and assistance, it would be an easy task to prove how thoroughly deserving 
 it is of aid. Into such a paper I might introduce the names of natives of these once 
 scattered and isolated appendages of the British Empire, who have by their works 
 given new lustre to French, English and American Literature This alone would 
 sufiice to show that we have had, and still have, the proper elements of literary skill 
 and excellence ; and would serve to give the true idea which I wish to impress 
 upon the attention of the reader. In this connection it should always be borne in 
 mind that our Republican neighbours, when not much older than ourselves, and 
 with a population which did not exceed to a very great extent the present popula- 
 tion of the Dominion, had produced names in the many varied walks of Lite- 
 rature, which have long been justly famous throughout the civilized world, and 
 have in no common degree assisted to win for Americans an acknowledged place 
 amongst the most civilized and enlightened peoples. 
 
 A second and no slight reason for undertaking this volume has been the bene- 
 fit which such a work would confer upon the professional man, the student and 
 the general reader, as a book of reference. Thus, any one can easily become 
 aware of what subjects have engaged the attention of our own authors and writers, 
 and what has been written by strangers and others respecting the history, affairs, 
 and resources of the several Provinces of Canada. 
 
 Another desire was that the relations of the literary men and journalists of 
 the Dominion might by such a book become intimate by an acquaintance with, 
 and knowledge of each other's works and services. By this means also they and 
 others may be made aware of the approximate strength of the literary forces of 
 the United Provinces. 
 
 A large number of the productions enumerated are pamphlets, and therefore 
 to some extent ephemeral. But when we consider the degree of value which has 
 been placed on pamphlets by the majority of bibUographei-s, as important links in 
 the chain of history and affording knowledge on divers other important pomts, I 
 
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. ix 
 
 tliink that it would have heen most unwise on my part to have excluded them 
 from notice. The elder DTsraeli gives the opinion of Myles Davis, a famous 
 collector, upon Pamphlet Literature : 
 
 " There is scarce any class of people hut may think themselves interested 
 enough to be concerned with what is published in pamphlets, either as to their 
 private instruction, curiosity and reputation, or to the public "advantage and 
 credit." * 
 
 An American writer, prefixing to his article a quotation from John Quincy 
 Adams : " Posterity delights in details," relates : " I have known a journey to be 
 made from New York to Cambridge, in a storm in January, mainly for the pur 
 pose of consulting an old funeral sermon, of wdiich another copy could not be 
 found in the country. It had probably never been asked for during the gen- 
 erations since it came to the library ; but it was now wanted in a law case invol- 
 ving near half a million of dollars. How many would think a funeral sermon 
 worth sending to the library of Harvard College." " Men of eminent literary and 
 scientific attainments," he states, " are daily searching for books, pamphlets, and 
 papers which are considered worthless by many of our superficial ones. Many 
 books, which are seldom read, are wanted to verify quotations and dates. The 
 biographer and the historian want all the ephemeral pamphlets, newspapers, 
 manuscript diaries and letters relating to the times and persons of which they 
 write." t 
 
 In a work of a bibliographical character it is somewhat anomalous to include 
 notices of newspaper editors and writers. In our young country, however, our 
 principal newspapers may be considered as holding no unimportant position in 
 Literature. We have not many periodicals of a purely literary kind ; and the 
 morning journal may be said to be as much a literary as it is a political organ, and 
 newspaper, in the general acceptation of the term. Besides, the majority of our 
 journalists have been men of superior education and literary culture, who have 
 themselves written works and pamphlets. A very distinguished author has 
 recently remarked " that a hundred years hence the newspaper will be the only 
 possible book." It is well then to preserve the germs of our future literature. 
 
 Some of the biographical sketches have extended to unusual length, and are 
 much longer than others. In such cases, generally where the individual has 
 figured largely in public life, it has been found difficult to reduce the record of his 
 life and services, to shorter dimensions. 
 
 This volume is the result of many long hours of painstaking toil ; it may not 
 be free from blemishes and imperfections, nor from serious omissions, which it is 
 now too late to rectify. It is an effort in the cause of National Literature, and as 
 such I send it forth, with all its failings, either to take its place on the library shelf, 
 or to be cast to the trunk-makers. 
 
 In closing these remarks, I cannot sufficiently express my thanks to the vari- 
 ous gentlemen in and out of the Dominion w^ho have aided me by furnishing 
 information relative to authors and books, and otherwise by personally assisting 
 ine in my undertaking. My special thanks are due for assistance in this way, and

" If with your pleasing occupation of looking for books, you possess the love of reading 
 them, you may somewhere have met with the quaint old comparison, that, as geography and 
 chronology are the eye and the ear, so BibUography is both the hands of History ; and, as these 
 two poor hands are the slaves of the eye and ear, so Bibliography without distinction or 
 reward ministers to the wants of History." — Henry Stevens : HMoncal Nuggets. 
 
 " At the period when nations, yet in their infancy, are animated by a creative genius, 
 which endows them with a poetry and literature of their own, while it renders them, at the 
 same time, capable of splendid enterprises, susceptible of lofty passions, and disposed to great 
 sacrifices, the literature of other nations is unknown to them. Each draws from its own 
 bosom that which best harmonizes with its nature. Eloquence, in such a nation, is the 
 expression of natural sentiment ; poetry, the play of an imagination yet unexhausted. 
 Amongst such a people, no one writes for the sake of writing ; no one speaks merely for the 
 sake of speaking. To produce a deep impression, there is no need either of rules or examples. 
 The orator touches the inmost soul of his hearer, because his words proceed from the depths 
 of his own heart. The priest obtains a mastery over the conscience, and in turns awakens love 
 or terror, because he is himself convinced of the truth of the dogmas which he inculcates ; 
 because he feels the duties he proclaims, and is only the organ of the inspirations within him. 
 The historian places before the eyes of his readers the events of past times, because he is still 
 agitated by the passions which produced them ; because the glory of his country is the first 
 passion of his heart ; and because he wishes to preserve by his writings, that which his valour 
 has contributed to acquire. The epic poet adds durability to these historical recollections, by 
 clothing them in a language more conformable to the inspirations of his imagination, and more 
 analogous to those emotions which it is his object to awaken. The lyric poet abandons himself 
 to the transports of which he has so deep a sense ; wliile the tragedian places before our eyes 
 the picture of which his fancy has first formed a perfect conception. Manner and language, 
 to such a creative genius as this, are merely the means of rendering its emotions more popular. 
 Each seeks, and each discovers in himself that harmonious touch, to which all hearts must 
 respond ; each affects others, in pursuing only that which affects liimself ; and art becomes 
 unnecessary, because every thing is supplied by nature and by feeling." — Sismondi: Literature 
 of the South of Europe.

 Abbott, Rev. Joseph, M. A. A Can. mis- 
 sionary. B. in Cumberland, Eng., 1789. 
 D. at Montreal, Jany., 1 863. Ed. partly 
 at Bampton Sch. and completed at 
 Marischal Coll., Aberdeen. Soon after 
 graduating he was ordained as a Min. 
 of the Ch. of Eng. and appointed to 
 a curacy in a large and populous 
 parish near Norwich, the entire duties 
 of which fell upon him for some time 
 in consequence of the suspension of 
 the Rector. But he had heard and 
 read of Am., and the ideas he had been 
 led to form of that distant country 
 resulted in a longing for the more 
 extended sphere of action which he 
 hoped to find there. In 1818 he was 
 afforded an opportunity of gratifying 
 his wishes by the offer by the S. P. G. 
 F. P. of an appointment as missionary 
 to St. Andrews, L. C, which he ac- 
 cepted. In the same year he arrived 
 at the scene of his future labours. He 
 remained in that district, first at St. 
 Andrews and secondly at Grenville, 
 with the exception of a short time in 
 which he was engaged in the same high 
 and holy office in Yamaska having ef- 
 fected a transfer with his brother at 
 Abbotsford, L. C, until 1847, in which 
 year he was allowed to retire upon a 
 pension. Of his arduous but success- 
 ful labours as a missionary too much 
 could not be said in his favour. Let 
 it suffice for us to state that he sur- 
 mounted and overcame all the many 
 and great difficulties which the pioneer 
 of the Gospel invariably encounters ; 
 and that to his energetic efforts is 
 largely due, not only the moral eleva- 
 tion and improvement of the people but 
 the material advancement of the inte- 
 resting portion of the Ottawa district 
 in which he lived and wrought. 
 During his long residence in Can., 
 
 Mr. A. always found a certain portion 
 of time to devote to any subject apart 
 from his profession, which could bene- 
 fit his adopted country. In agriculture 
 he took a warm interest — and his per- 
 sonal advocacy and that of his pen, 
 were never wanting for any movement 
 towards its improvement. A soc. hav- 
 ing been founded at Quebec, in 1827, 
 for the encouragement of arts and 
 sciences in L. C, he contributed to it 
 in 1828 an essay on Agriculture for 
 which he was awarded the silver medal 
 of the soc. ; — and in his own parish 
 he never ceased to inculcate among 
 his neighbours, both by precept and 
 example, the knowledge he had ac- 
 quired iu Eng. of the improvements in 
 agriculture, and in the breeding of 
 cattle, which were progressing there 
 when he left. 
 
 But his most active exertions, in: 
 matters secular, were devoted to the 
 subject of emigration. He never ceased' 
 to urge upon the country and the govt., 
 the advantages of a rational and prac-» 
 tical system for the encouragement of 
 emigration ; and the periodical litera- 
 ture of his day exhibits numerous con- 
 tributions from his pen. It occurred 
 to him also, that a plain unvarnished 
 exposition of the actual life, trials, fai- 
 lures and successes of an emigrant to- 
 Can., would allbrd a fair, and as he 
 believed, a not unfavorable view of 
 emigration to this country. With this- 
 idea he prepared what he styled The 
 Emigrant to North America., from Memo- 
 randa of a Settler in Canada., which em- 
 bodied his conceptions of the kind of 
 information that would be useful to 
 the emigrant — and which was in fact 
 a simple and unadorned description of 
 the everyday life, duties, and labors of 
 the emigrant farmer. First published 
 
ABB 
 
 in a series of papers in the Mercury 
 (Que.) in 1842, Tkc Emigrant meiwWh dl 
 most flattering reception. — It was repu- 
 blished in many leading Can. papers — 
 in several Eng. journals, among which 
 was the Emigration Gazette (Lon.) — and 
 in pamphlet form in Eng. by the Agent 
 for Emigration. The intention of the 
 author to publish it in Can. becoming 
 known, he received orders in advance 
 of its appearance, and in a few weeks, 
 for more than a thousand copies, and a 
 large edition was soon exhausted. In 
 1843, a second edition issued from the 
 press of Mr. Lovell — and was rapidly 
 disposed of. 
 
 Encouraged by the success of the 
 Memoranda^ whii^h chiefly consisted of 
 extracts from the record of his own 
 experience in Can. Mr. A. decided 
 to publish that record in a more ex- 
 tended form^and submitted it for 
 that purpose to Mr. John Murray who 
 at once accepted it and undertook its 
 publication as one of his series, intitled 
 '• The Home and Colonial Library'', 
 under the title of Philip ihisgrave^or 
 the AdveiUures of a Missiojiary in Canada. 
 The success of this little book, was 
 complete, beyond the most sanguine 
 expectations of both author and pub- 
 lisher. The leading literary autho- 
 rities of the mother country spoke of 
 it in the highest terms of praise. — Its 
 truthfulness,— which the simpli('itv of 
 the narrative— and the minuteness of 
 its graphic details, were alone suffi- 
 cient to establish — the perspicuity of 
 its descriptions— and the spirit of ra- 
 tional and earnest devotion which per- 
 vaded it— were themes of praise in 
 many of those periodicals whose praise 
 is fame. And the private testimony to 
 its usefulness— and to the gratification 
 which it attbrded to thousands of en- 
 quirers was not less complete, nor less 
 pleasing to its author. 
 
 A more extended work, the nature 
 of which is not fully known, but 
 upon which Mr. A. spent his leisure 
 time for several years, was lost in ma- 
 nuscript, in the course of transmission 
 to Messi-s. Blackwood & Son for publi- 
 cation. In addition to these moie 
 arduous labors, he was a frequent 
 contributor to the lighter periodical 
 literature of this country, of tales in 
 which his imagination loVed to revert

 to the wild scenes and legends of his

 Abraham, Robeht, a Can. journ. Was a 
 native of Cumberland, Eng. D. at Mon- 
 treal 10 Nov. 1854. He was ed. for 
 the medical profession, graduating 
 in the Univ. of Edinburgh, but his 
 literary Uistes soon induced him to de- 
 vote his talents to journalism. During 
 many yeai-s he served on the provin- 
 cial press of Eng., first in his native 
 county, and afterwards as Ed. of a 
 leading Liverpool journal. About 1843, 
 he came to Can., where he became the 
 prop, and ed. of the Gazette (Mont.) 
 His connection with that journal con- 
 tinued until Dec. 1848, when he dis- 
 posed of the paper to Mr. Ferres, and 
 retired from its management The 
 principles which, guided his conduct 
 of the Gazette may be gathered from 
 the following extiact from his valedic- 
 tory upon retiring from that journal : 
 
 *• Six years ! It is a large gap in the Ufe 
 of man. But still it is not unworthily filled, 
 if all those multitudinous beatings of the 
 heart, and contractions of the voluntary mus- 
 cles, and impulses of the brain, which go to 
 the composition of an intellectual being, are 
 compatible with the moral principle. That 
 we may have been misled by passion ; or by 
 personal hostilities (and of these we believe 
 no man has fewer) : — or by excessive zeal for 
 our friends or for oiu- party, — we freely ad- 
 mit ; and we would be more than man, or 
 less, were we not incident to such weak- 
 nesses. But this we can say. that, amid all 
 the exciting topics of exciting time, never 
 did we impugn any man's private character.

 or Invade his personal privacy ; that we have 
 asserted what we believe to be the true fun- 
 damental principles of the British Constitu- 
 tion, so far as applicable to this colony ; that, 
 on this side of the great waters, as on the 
 eastern, we have stood, with the spirit and 
 pertinacity of an Englishman, by those great 
 Whig principles, the practical enunciation 
 of which has saved England alike from mo- 
 narchical and from mob despotism. Tlie 
 creed of our youth, imbibed from descent, 
 and from early associates, has been that of 
 our maturer age ; and if we have failed it is 
 neither from want of love of liberty, nor 
 from want of due honour to the royalty and 
 the institutions which are its best and most 
 glorious guarantees." 
 
 Either before or after this time he 
 studied law and was admitted to prac- 
 tice as an advocate of L. G. For a 
 brief period he did not write, and had 
 no connection with the press. In 1 849, 
 however, he was induced to nnder- 
 take the charge; of the Transcript^ of 
 the same city, and continued its senior 
 ed. up to the time of his death. He 
 was also ed. of the L C. Agricultural 
 Journal for some time previous and up 
 to that event. Mr. A. was a man, 
 truly able and well educated ; and 
 had so prodigious a memory that no 
 one, in his time, could be better en- 
 titled to be called, as he sometimes 
 was, a walking Encyclopedia! From 
 the notice of him in the Gazette to 
 which we are indebted for much of 
 the above, we learn that dnring the 
 last year of his life his health and 
 physical energies had been gradually, 
 but perceptibly declining — though he 
 retained his mental faculties up to 
 the last. The same journal pays the 
 following atfectionate tribute to his 
 character : 
 
 "As an English politician Mr. Abraham 
 took his place in the Whig-radical school ; but 
 he — like the late lamented Lord Metcalfe — 
 found thedemoci'atic element so strong in this 
 country that he held an English radical might, 
 with perfect consistency, be a Canadian con- 
 servative. So, during the time of his con- 
 nexion with this journal, it was the staunch 
 advocate of liberal-conservative views, — li- 
 beral in according and securing to all men 
 their reasonable, constitutional liberties. — 
 Conservative in so curbing innovation as to 
 preserve intact the provincial connection with 
 the mother country. Further we need not 
 speak of his political career in this province — 
 it is before the people in his writings. On 
 the merits of those writings, their elegant 
 1* 
 
 epigrammatic style, the vast stores of useful 
 and curious information which abounded in 
 every thing he wrote, shining forth spontane- 
 ously from the overflowing treasury of his cul- 
 tivated mind, we might say much, but time 
 and space forbid us now. As a geologist 
 and naturalist (particularly in his favourite 
 branch of Natural History, Entomology) he 
 had few equals in Canada — perhaps no supe- 
 rior on this continent. While by his writings 
 he won the admiration of sti-angers as well 
 as friends, in private life he was one of the 
 most truly generous and kind hearted — one 
 of the most pure, honest, and sincere men 
 whom it was ever our lot to know. Well 
 may we look upon his loss to journalism as 
 almost irreparable, and the large circle of 
 friends who mourn his loss cannot hope to 
 see his place in their affections again tilled 
 by such a man."

 second daughter of John Walsh, Esq., 
 of Walsh Park, Co. Tipperary, by 
 whom he has had nine children. As 
 a preacher, he is one of the most 
 eloquent and moving pulpit orators in 
 Am. He occupies a foremost position 
 in the nascent literature of Can. From

 " Sir James Alexander left England in the 
 spring of 1841, having received an appoint- 
 ment in the Staff of the Commander of the 
 P'orces in Canada. His military duties and his 
 love of field sports induced him to make ex- 
 cursions in every direction, besides which, he 
 occasionally crossed the frontier to visit the 
 United States. Thus he had the opportunity 
 of seeing great variety of scene and society. 
 We find him at one time in the wildest part 
 of the lakes, paying a visit to the notorious 
 pirate and smuggler, Bill Johnstone ; at 
 another time, housed in a comfortable hotel 
 at New York, exchanging visits with the 
 literary celebrities of that city. He is 
 equally at home in the jovialities of a Cana- 
 dian winter, and the rough sports of the 
 backwoods. With equal alaciity he exa- 
 mines and relates the arrangements of edu- 
 cational establishments, and surveys the mili- 
 tary positions made famous in the last Ame- 
 rican war. He is just what a soldier should

 judicious observer of what is passing before 
 him." — Colonial Mag.

 " ffir William Alexander was bom in 1580 
 in Clackmannanshire. He was made gentle- 
 man usher to pi-ince Charles in 1613. viscount 
 Stirling in 1630, and earl of Stirling in 1633. 
 He died in 164i3, and his grandson succeeded 
 him, who in his turn was succeeded by an 
 uncle named Heni-y. On the lf> — 20 Septem- 
 ber, 1641, King James the first of England 
 (James the 6th of Scotland) grants all Nova 
 Scotia (including what is now New Brunswick) 
 to Sir Svilliam Alexander. This grant gives 
 the name of Nova Scotia to the territon', and 
 a copy of it in the original Latin is in the 
 memorials of the English and French com- 
 nussaries. It was probably issued under the 
 great seal of Scotland. This grant was con- 
 nrmed by another patent from Charles the 
 first of England, dated 12th July, 1625. In 
 1635 a grant was made to lord Stirling of a 
 district bet^veen Pemaquid and St. Croix, and 
 also of Long Island, opposite to Connecticut, 
 (1621). This last grant wa3 made by the 
 Plymouth council. Sir Fei-dinando Gorges 
 and captain John Mason, who were both 
 active and interested in the English coloniza- 
 tion, and were anxious to secure Acadie from 
 the French, obtained a conveyance from the 
 council of the New England company to Sir

 " ' Day Dreams ' is a speculative and philo-

 shows a high and rich intellect, without which 
 imagination is never worth much : the true 
 poetic spirit and power of expression are to 
 be found there. It is not a poem of mere 
 fancy or sentiment : it appeals to the highest 
 faculties of our nature, and by them it must 
 be judged. ''^^HAS. Saxgstek.

 " One of the many poems written for the

 Mr. Allen covdd not foil, in a poem of this 
 length, to write many fine passages, and 
 many more still finer thoughts, so largely is 
 he imbued with poetic sentiment, but which 
 bis philosophy so greatly interferes with. 
 The poem is ver}' uneqial — perhaps inten- 
 tionally so — some portions of it glo^ving with 
 a warrn redundant fancy, with deep sugges- 
 tive thought : and others, again, so lightly 
 and even carelessly flung off, that the critical 
 
 ta-te cannot fail to notice the wide discre-

 We can safely assert that 'Mr. AUan has done

 day. The poem is graced with a copy of

 Alline, Rev. Henry. An individual who 
 at one time occupied a prominent place 
 in the religious affairs of N. S. B. in 
 Rhode Island, 1 748. D. at North Hamp 
 ton N. H., 1784. Li 1760, he went with 
 his parents to N. S , and settled at 
 Newport. Six years afterwards moved 
 as he believed by the spirit, he com- 
 menced preaching without ordination, 
 or recognizing any Ecclesiastical au- 
 thority, but received the imposition of 
 hands as an itinerant preacher, at 
 Gornwallis, in 1779. From the time 
 of his commencing to preach at Fal- 
 mouth, he had refused any settled 
 charge, and travelled through all or 
 nearly all the then settled portions of 
 N. S., and also some portions of the ad- 
 joining Provinces of N. B. and P. E. L 
 Refusing connexion with any reli- 
 gious denomination, he assailed the 
 ministers of all sects as " poor dark 
 ministers," and wherever he went 
 caused divisions among their people, 
 and formed societies after his own 
 ideas. These were generally known 
 as the " New Lights " and sometimes 
 as " Allinites. " He held a number of 
 strange tenets, such as the denial of 
 creation out of nothing, and the denial 
 of what he called corporeal hardness 
 (i. e. of men having material bodies) 
 before the fall, or even the existence 
 of the material world He maintained 
 that all the souls of men were not only 
 actually created at the beginning of 
 the world, but in Eden actually siimed 
 and fell. He denied the Resurrection, 
 of what he called '• the elemental 
 body." On some of the great doctrines 
 of Christianity, he wrote a great deal ; 
 but it is impossible to give a definite 
 idea of his singular sentiments. 
 
 With such views, and pursuing such 
 a course, he was regarded on the one 
 hand by his followers with intense ad- 
 miration, by those of other denomina- 
 tions as a heretic and an enemy both 
 to the truth of God and the peace of 
 the Church. He continued to labour 
 incessantly, travelling and preaching, 
 even after his health gave way. In 
 the summer of 1783, he went to 
 New Eng., where he died in the fol- 
 lowing year. Of his followers some 
 joined the regular Baptists, but the 
 majority became what are called '^ Fre«' 
 Christian Baptists," and " Free Will 
 Baptists," two bodies which separated 
 from each other some years ago, but 
 which are almost identical in their 
 tenets. A. .is described as having an 
 agreeable manner, and was an impres- 
 sive and naturally eloquent preacher.

 A Rev. gentleman of N S., in a letter to 
 the author, remarks : " The first of these 
 works exhibits his peculiar views. It is a 
 singular book. In its statements of doc 
 trines it is the most confused medley that 
 one could imagine, almost resembling a sick 
 man's dreams, and yet it is varied with the 
 most impassioned, and I might say, eloquent 
 appeals, when he touches on some of the 
 grander or more tender topics of religion. 
 In fact his religion was a religion of feeling, 
 and his followers were characterized in their 
 proceedings by fanatical extravagance, which 
 disgusted sober-minded Christians. From

 AND 
 
 his " life " one has no doubt that he was a 
 good man. but as little that he was a thorough 
 &natic. I have no doubt that by the earnest- 
 ness and rousing nature of his preaching, he 
 did much good "in his day, particularly as 
 much of the Province was at that time verv 
 destitute of preachers ; but for the causes 
 mentioned, his career was also attended 
 with many evils. The few copies of his books 
 that are in existence, are so prized by his 
 admirers, that they could not be bought for 
 their weight in gold."

 Armstrong, William. A Gan. journ. B. 
 and educated at Edinburgh, Scot. 
 Studied law in his native city for 
 some years, and in 1833, emigrated to 
 Can. In the succeeding year he took 
 up his residence in N. Y., and entered 
 into business as a druggist, sometimes 
 contributing to a newspaper published 
 by a friend, called the Scottish Journal. 
 In 1844 he returned to Can., establish- 
 ing himself at Kingston, where in 
 1847 he first commenced his connec- 
 tion with the Gan. press by joining the 
 staff of the British Whig, as sub-ed. 
 a position which he held until 1851, 
 when he became ed. of The Argus. Two 
 years afterwards, on the death of the 
 
 proprietor, Mr. A. purchased this news- 
 paper, changing its name to the Com- 
 mercial Advertiser, and under that name 
 it took a prominent part in discussing 
 the many important political move- 
 ments of the day. In 1 859 Mr. A.'s office 
 being destroyed by fire, he purchased 
 the Herald of the same city and united 
 it with his other paper under the 
 name of the Herald li; Advertiser, which 
 he continued to own and conduct up to 
 a recent period. In politics Mr. A sup- 
 ported the policy of the Liberal Con- 
 servatives of U. G. 
 AscHER, Isidore G., B. C. L. A Gan. poet. 
 B. in Glasgow, Scot., 1835. His early 
 days were spent at Plymouth, Eng. 
 When 8 years of age he came with his 
 parents to Can., and was educated at 
 the High Sch. of Montreal, in which 
 city his family had taken up their re- 
 sidence. On leaving sch. he entered his 
 father's counting house, but after a 
 few years experience finding his occu- 
 pation distasteful and irksome he aban- 
 doned the ledger for the law, and in 
 due time was called to the Bar of L. C, 
 receiving the degree of B G. L. from 
 McGill Coll. For some years he had 
 been known as the author of many poe- 
 tical pieces, among which were some 
 beautiful and tender lyrics, which had 
 appeared in the provincial press under 
 his Christian name " Isidore.'" They 
 had attracted a degree of attention, and 
 called fortti the well merited praise of 
 several of the Can. newspapers. One 
 western journal remarked : — 
 
 " ' Isidore ' is the nom de plume overwhich 
 some one occasionally writes for the Mont- 
 real papers, and we must confess that the 
 pieces evince more genuine poetic feeling, 
 melody of diction, and happiness of expres- 
 sion, than those of any Canadian poet we 
 yet have had the fortune to peruse." 
 
 In 1863, at the solicitation of his 
 friends and others, he collected those 
 of his printed pieces which he no 
 doubt considered as his best and, to- 
 gether with other new pieces, pub- 
 lished them in a volume called Voices 
 from the Hearth. The book was well 
 received by the public and warmly 
 commended by the press. The edition 
 was speedily exhausted. Since 1864, 
 Mr. A. has resided in Eng., where 
 he contributes regularly to one or two 
 of the leading London magazines. His

 later poems, some of which have been 
 reyjroduc.ed in tlie Can. newspapers, de- 
 cidedly attest, to a more matured and 
 experienced hand, and are well worthy 
 of their authorship. We believe that 
 Mr. A. intends bringing out a new 
 volume of Poems from the London 
 press shortly.

 " We must conclude, * * * , at the 
 same time stating that we have not for a 
 long while read a more pleasing collection of 
 short poems, written with elegance, truth of 
 sentiment, and genuine poetic feeling. * * 
 It has made us for a few moments forget the 
 mechanical life around us, and lose ourselves 
 in that indescribable absence from sensual 
 objects, which is a vision of our higher hu- 
 manity." — Colhvrii's Man. Mag., (Lon.) 
 
 " The writer's muse is essentially of the 
 household ; and he cannot do better than to 
 continue to worship its gods, for there he is 
 emphatically at home." — Aihen., (do.) 
 
 "Mr. Ascher's poems are distinguished by 
 a pleasant and lively fancy, by gay and cheer- 
 ful feeling, often, however, overshadowed by 
 a pathetic tenderness; — and at times they 
 give evidence that the writei* feels the deeper 
 mysteries and passions of human nature and 
 human life. The moral spirit throughout 
 is of the highest ; it is one of mildness, of 
 goodness, and yet of uncompromising right ; 
 it is gracious, generous, and of the most 
 ample liberality and charity ; it is of the 
 most comprehensive humanity, truly toler- 
 ant but never temporising." — Henry Giles :

 Aubin, N. a French Can.journ. B. at

 1834. At the time of the Insurrection 
 in 1837, commenced the publication at 
 Quebec of a humourous and satirical 
 paper called Le Fantasque., of which he 
 was ed. The articles in this sheet dis- 
 played considerable pungency and wit, 
 not unmixed with some amount of acri- 
 tude, and directed, as they generally 
 were, against the dominant party of 
 the day, caused the latter some annoy- 
 ance and trouble. In 1838, Mr. A. was 
 arrested, and with his printer, incarce- 
 rated in the Quebec Gaol, and his press 
 and types seized by the authorities, for 
 the expression of his political views in 
 Le Fantasque. After his enlargement he 
 continued his paper up to 1845. In 
 that year he founded Le Castor, a jour- 
 nal which enjoyed but a short exist- 
 ence, owing to the great fires which 
 occurred shortly afterwards in Quebec. 
 Subsequently he wrote for Le Canadien., 
 and in 1862 founded and ed. La Tribune 
 (Que.), as the organ of the L. C. section 
 of the Macdonald-Dorion administra- 
 tion. This paper was but short-lived. 
 Mr. A. is generally recognized as one 
 of the ablest newspaper writers the 
 French Cans, possess. He resided for 
 some time in the U. S., and invented 
 the ijlan of making gas from water, 
 which has been adopted in some cities 
 of the Union. He is the author of 
 many miscellaneous poems, several of 
 which, in addition to prose articles 
 from his pen, are preserved in Le Re- 
 pertoire National (Mont.) We give the 
 titles of the latter.

 that many portions of the narrative, as trans-

 French emigration to this country. Its 
 articles were ably written and often

 newspapers ; it had a circulation in

 France alone of over 500 copies. Un- 
 fortunately for the proprietors, who 
 were only partly insured, the establish- 
 ment and material of Le Bas-Cunada 
 were destroyed in an extensive fire 
 which occurred at Three Rivers in 
 1856, and the paper never appeared 
 afterwards. Early in 1857, Mr. B. esta- 
 blished the Gazette de Sorel. at the to\\Ti 
 of that name, which he still continues 
 to ed. and publish. Mr. B. possesses 
 considerable talent as a writer, and is 
 strqngly attached to nos institutions^ 
 notre langue et nos lois. He naturally 
 takes the warmest interest in the wel- 
 fare of his race, and has laboured stre- 
 neously to the end that his country- 
 men may occupy their proper place 
 on this continent as a great and en- 
 lightened people. 
 Barthe, J. G. A French Can. journ, B. 
 at sea, about 1818, on board a vessel 
 commanded by his father. Ed. at Ni- 
 colet Coll., and afterwards studied me- 
 dicine at Three Rivers, which profes- 
 sion, however, he soon abandoned in 
 favor of law. During his Coll. days 
 Mr. B. contracted a habit of writing 
 poetic effusions, to the neglect of 
 severer studies. In 1837, he contri- 
 buted lengthy pieces in verse, on poli- 
 tical subjects and events, to the news- 
 paper press, in which he dealt rather 
 freely with the public occ;irrences 
 of tlie day, taking the side of the so 
 called " patriots," and thereby excited 
 the hostility of the Govt. ; he was ar- 
 rested and confined in Montreal gaol, 
 on a charge of writing an obnoxious 
 ode in honor of Papineau and the Ber- 
 muda exiles. Being released, Mr. B. 
 was afterwards called to the Bar, and 
 proceeding to Montreal, ed. L'Aurore 
 des Canadas^ from 1839 to 1845. He sat 
 for Yamaska in the Leg. Assem. from 
 18il to 1845 ; and was afterwards ap- 
 pointed Clk. of the Court of Appeals, 
 L. C, a position which he held for 4 
 years. While in that office he con- 
 ceived an idea in favour of an emigra- 
 tion from France to Can., and in further- 
 ance of that object went to France to 
 urge the matter upon the consideration 
 of the proper authorities. He resided at 
 Paris for 3 years, and there contributed 
 to the Gazette de France and wrote and 
 published his work on Can. After his 
 return in 1855, he assisted his brother 
 
 on Le Bas Canada. During the regime 
 of Mr. S. Macdonald, he ed. Le Canadkn^ 
 then the organ of the French section 
 of the cabinet. Mr. B. has contributed

 Bayfield, Vice Admiral Henry Wolsey, 
 R. N. A celebrated naval Topographer. 
 B. in Eng. Entered the navy in 1806 as 
 a supernumerary volunteer, and after 
 seeing considerable active service was 
 appointed to the command of a gun- 
 boat on the Can. Lakes, tov^'ards the 
 close of the war, in 1814. In the fol- 
 lowing year he assisted in the survey 
 of Lake Ontario, and in 1817 became 
 an admiralty surveyor, and was ap- 
 pointed to the survey of Lakes Erie 
 and Huron, in which work he con- 
 tinued until 1823, w^hen he com- 
 menced the survey of Lake Superior. 
 In 1825 he returned to Eng. and was 
 employed by the Admiralty to complete 
 the charts of the Lakes. " In 1827 he 
 was appointed to the Survey of the St. 
 Lawrence, on which he is still en- 
 gaged. This great work has been ex- 
 tended so as to include the whole of 
 the river and gulf of St. Lawrence, from 
 Montreal through the Straits of Belle- 
 isle to Cape St. Lewis on the Labrador 
 coast, all tributary streams as far as 
 they are navigable, the islands of Anti- 
 costi, Mingan, the Magdalens, P. E. I., 
 Cape Breton, &g., the coast of N. S., 
 westward to Halifax, including Sable 
 Island. His charts of the St. Lawrence, 
 &c., published by the Admiralty have 
 been found singularly accurate in all 
 2* 
 
 particulars. Admiral B. was a resident 
 of Quebec from 1827 to 1841. He was 
 one of the original members (and is 
 now an honorary mem.) of Lit. and 
 His. Soc. of that city, and took an 
 active part in its transactions. He is 
 also a mem. of the Astronomical Soc. 
 of London and of the Soc. Geologigue de 
 France. Since 1841 he has resided at 
 Charlottetown, P. E. 1.

 *' Admiral Bayfield's excellent maps of the 
 lakes, river, and gulf of St. Lawrence have 
 always been of the utmost aid to the Survey 
 in such explorations as came upon the great 
 water-hnes of the Province. Their value 
 however is not confined to the indication of 
 geographical features. There is registered 
 upon his charts, a considerable amount of 
 accurate geological information, in the form 
 of notes, which he has in many places given 
 of the character of the rocks forming the 
 coast. These notes have on some occasions 
 immediately directed attention to points of 
 interest, and at other times have saved much 
 labor in tracing out the distribution of 
 formations. It is rmderstood that Admiral 
 Bayfield, in his surveys of the St. Lawrence 
 made, with the aid of Dr. Kelly, a conside- 
 rable collection of organic remains, which 
 were presented to various Societies and In- 
 stitutions of Natural History. It is much to 
 be regretted that these had not been figured 
 and described before they were thus distri- 
 buted, as we should thus probably have long 
 ago obtained a knowledge of many fossils, 
 the descriptions of which have been only 
 recently published from specimens in the 
 collections of the Survey. Admiral Bayfield 
 has communicated to the Literary and His- 
 torical Society of Quebec, and to the Geolo- 
 gical Society of London, various interesting 
 papers on subjects connected with Canadian 
 Geology, with the facts in which it will be 
 found that we have on several occasions 
 availed ourselves." — Sir W. E. Logan, Geo.

 health, he was compelled to resign 
 the post and to close his connection 
 with the press.

 as a private mem. and leader displayed 
 great ability. In 1806, he with others 
 of his party founded the newspaper 
 called Le Canadien (Que.), of which he 
 became the chief ed. Both in Parlia- 
 ment and through the columns of his 
 paper he waged a bitter and uncompro- 
 mising w-ar against the Eng. and the 
 govt. In 1810. Le Canadkn was seized 
 by the authorities, and Mr. B., as its ed., 
 was imprisoned. He w^as refused a trial. 
 Being released after a long confine-

 accepting a judgeship from the same 
 govt, which he had before so loudly 
 condemned.

 F. R. 5., F. G. S. A distinguished Brit. 
 Admiral and Hydrographer. Is a grand- 
 son of the late Chief Justice Belcher 
 of N. S. B. in N. S. 1799. Entered 
 the navy in 1812 as a fii-st class vo- 
 lunteer, and was soon afterwards ap- 
 pointed a midshipman. After having 
 served in the defence of Gaeta and the 
 battle of Algiers was, in 1819, appoint- 
 ed io the Myrmidon sloop, destined for 
 the African station. In 1825, he be- 
 came asst. surveyor to the Behring's 
 Straits discovery expedition under 
 Capt Beechey in the Blossom. Pro- 
 moted to the rank of commander in 
 1829, he served on the coast of Africa, 
 and of Portugal, rendering on the 
 latter service valuable assistance to 
 the Brit, residents by protecting their 
 property during the political troubles 
 in Portugal. From Nov. 1836 to Aug. 
 1842, he was employed in the Sulphur, 
 surveying vessel, of whose voyage 
 round the world he has given an in- 
 teresting account in his Narrative. In 
 1841, Com. B. rendered a series of im- 
 p»ortant and brilliant services in China, 
 having sounded and explored the va- 
 rious inlets of the Canton river, and 
 made a reconnoissance which contri- 
 buted in a great measure to the suc- 
 cesses of Sir Hugh (now Lord) Gough 
 and Sir H. F. Senhouse. On the same 
 day, he caused the enemy to destroy 8 
 of his vessels. For these services he 
 was appointed a Post Captain, and 
 received the honour of knighthood. 
 Afterwards he was engaged in the sur- 
 veying service in the East Indies, and 
 was severely wounded while assist- 
 ing the Rajah of Sarawak, Sir James 
 Brooke, in his efforts to subdue the 
 pirates of Borneo. From 1852 to 1854, 
 he commanded the expedition in search 
 of Sir John Franklin, and on his re- 
 turn to Eng. was tried befoie a Court 
 Martial for voluntarily abandoning his 
 ships. The case against him was not 
 legally supported, and he was ac- 
 quitted.

 went to Montreal where he ed. La Mi-

 spoken of as being a very clear, con-

 the newspaper press, he devoted his 
 leisure to historical studies, more par- 
 ticulary those relating to our own 
 country, a taste which he had acquired 
 from a close friendship and intimacy 
 with the late Commander Viger, the 
 Can. Antiquarian. In 1857 he wrote 
 in La Minerve^ Memoirc sur le Gouverne- 
 metit du Canada il y a un siecle [Admi-

 Memoire sur les ViceRois du Canada in 
 the Memoires Soc. Hist. (Mont.) ; Memoire 
 sur Champlain in the Echo. In 1860, 
 3 articles in reply to the London Times^

 he, for a time, devoted himself to teach- 
 ing. He was an early contributor to the 
 Spectateur Canadien whose politics, as 
 a liberal, he thoroughly believed in. 
 In !815, he founded a journal called 
 LAurore dcs Canadas (Mont.), which he 
 conducted until discontined in 1819 ; 
 the Courrier du Bas Canada was es- 
 tablished in its st€ad, which he also 
 ed. In both these papers he strongly 
 opposed the scheme for the Union 
 of IJ. &. L. Can. which was then 
 propounded. His book of poetry was 
 the first of the kind published in the 
 French language in Can. In 1825, he 
 established the BiUUotheque Canadienne, 
 a periodical which enjoyed some popu- 
 larity during its existence, but died 
 early, in 1830. His next literary ven- 
 ture was the Magazin du Bas Canada, 
 which was commenced in 1832, and 
 lasted for 2 years. Another paper the 
 Observaleur Canadien followed. Again, 
 we find him, in 1842, founding the En- 
 cyclopedic Canadienne^ which expired in 
 the same year. Much of his time was 
 now taken up in writing his History of 
 Canada^ and preparing other works for 
 the press ; but he found leisure, never- 
 theless, to contribute to several of the 
 leading journals of the day. Mr. B. dur- 
 ing his long life undoubtedly did much 
 to advance the literature of his native 
 country, not only by the important 
 works which he himself contributed 
 to it, but also by his encouragement 
 of all worthy literary exertion. His 
 latter years were spent in the service 
 of the Can. Geol. Survey as a French 
 translator.

 " Mr. Bibaud has brought to his task a 
 most commendable zeal, and mitirmg indus- 
 try. He has carefully studied the various 
 memoirs and documents which have been 
 submitted to the world, connected with Ca- 
 nadian Historj', and sifted with a judicious 
 hand the doubtful and untrue from the au- 
 thentic. The result of his labours is a book 
 that may be almost implicitly relied upon by 
 the Student of our Colonial Annals. Begin- 
 ning with the voyages of Cartier, and closing 
 with the termination of the power of France 
 in the Province, he has passed over no event 
 which it is of importance to be acquainted 
 with, andiie has so condensed the whole 
 that it is contained in one neat and conve- 
 nient volume of about four hundred pages. 
 It is a book which every Canadian should he 
 perfectly acquainted with, as furnishing a 
 most valuable record of the earlj- struggles 
 through which his country passed, and its 
 gradual progress from a mere wilderness to 
 a populous and important covmtry. * * 
 
 " The second volume begins with the pe- 
 riod of its cession to England, and is conti- 
 nued to the commencement of the rebelUon 
 in 1837. Mr. Bibaud has been most indus- 
 trious in his search after authentic records. 
 He has also been most successful. ^Vheu 
 we add that he is possessed of a happy talent 
 for compilation as well as for composition, 
 we presume we have said enough to convince 
 our readers that the work now noticed is 
 well deserving of perusal and of preserva- 
 tion." — Lit. Gar., (Mont.)

 Pugwash, N. S. In 1848, went to New- 
 Orleans, U. S., where he has since resi- 
 ded, having been connected with the 
 newspaper press of that city from that 
 time up to the present. He first joined 
 the "staff of the Son of Temperanre, and 
 was subsequently connected with the 
 Live Oak, Delta, True Delta and Picayune. 
 In 1864, he became associate ed. of the 
 Daily Times, the largest and most in- 
 fluential newspaper in the South. Mr. 
 B. was official reporter to the Senate 
 of Louisiana during one session.

 " The position occupied by the author, as 
 Secretary to the Commission appointed under 
 the treaty of Ghent to survey and settle 
 the boundary line between Canada and the 
 United States, gave liim advantages of be- 
 coming acquainted with the real condition 
 of the border lands closed to mere travellers. 
 Of these advantages Dr. Bigsby has made 
 good use, and the results are evidenced in 
 two volumes, replete with information faith- 
 fully illustrative of Colonial life and Colonial 
 scenery. His duty carried him along a route 
 seldom followed by his fellow countrymen. 
 Lakes Simcoe, Huron and Superior, were 
 visited by him ; into a portion of South Hud- 
 son's Bay, and up the river Ottawa into Lake 
 Nipissing, he penetrated, and visited the al- 
 most incognita terra of the highland of the 
 St. Lawrence, below Quebec." — Colonial 
 Mag. 
 
 " Among the pioneers in Canadian Geo- 
 logy, no observer was more accurate than 
 Dr. J. J. Bigsby, Secretary to the Boundary 
 Commissioners under the Treaty of Ghent. 
 His range of investigation extended from 
 Quebec to Lake Superior, and beyond the 
 limits of the province in that direction ; and 
 he has accumulated and published a great 
 store of facts, upon the exactness of which 
 the greatest reliance can be placed. He is 
 in consequence frequently quoted in this 
 volume as an authority." — Sir W. E. Logan :

 ontologist and writer on Geological 
 Science. B. on his father's farm in 
 Tp. of Gloucester, near Ottawa, U. C, 
 5 May, 1820. His family on the pater- 
 nal side came originally from Wales, 
 and settled in the N. E. States. His 
 father was born in Massachusetts dur- 
 ing the Am. revolutionary war, shortly 
 after which the family removed to 
 Can. He received his education at 
 Ottawa (then Bytown) and at Potsdam, 
 N. Y. In 1840, he entered on the 
 ^udy of the Law in U. C, and in 1845 
 was admitted to practice, which he 
 did from that time up to 1856 when 
 he received the appointment, w^hich he 
 still holds, of Palaeontologist to the Geo- 
 logical Survey of Can. WHiile living 
 at Ottawa, Mr. B. made a large col- 
 lection of the Fossils which abound 
 in the rocks of the neighbourhood. 
 By studying these, he made himself 
 well acquainted with the palaeontology 
 of the Silurian Rocks of Can. His first 
 papers appeared in the Citizen of that 
 city and in the Can. Journal (Tor.) In 
 1856, he established the Can. Naturalist 
 and Geologist, a monthly scientific pu- 
 blication, of which he was sole ed., 
 prop, and principal contributor for the 
 first year. Since 1857, the Naturalist 
 has been owned and published by the 
 publishing house of the Messrs. Daw- 
 son (Mont.), and ed. by a committee of 
 the Natural History Soc. of that city, 
 of which committee Mr. B. has been a 
 prominent and active mem. up to the 
 present time. His most important me- 
 moirs are the 3rd and 4 th Decades and 
 the Palaeozoic Fossils of the Can. Geol. 
 Survey, in which nearly all the genera 
 and species of Fossils described were 
 discovered by himself. In 1858, he 
 was elected a Fellow of the Geological 
 Soc. (Lon.) 
 
 In 1862, he was awarded a medal in

 interest of which will be best undei-stood 
 by those who know that, while many Ame-

 IJlanchard, Jotham. A N. S. journ. B. 
 at Peterboro, New Hampshire, U. S., 
 15th March. 1800. D. in N.S. 1840. 
 
 His grandfather, Jotham, had left 
 the United States during the Revolu- 
 tionary War, and settled at Truro with 
 two sons, Jonathan and Edward, and 
 several daughters, then young. After 
 the war, Jonathan returned to New 
 Hampshire, and there married. Jo- 
 tham was their eldest child, and when 
 he was 15 months old. his parents with 
 him removed to Truro, where the old 
 people with their family were still re- 
 siding. Here he spent his early days, 
 and was thus by education at least a 
 Nova Scotian. He received his col- 
 legiate education under Dr. McCulloch 
 at the Pictou Academy, and was one 
 of the first class of students at that in- 
 stitution. He studied law with Thomas 
 Dickson, of Pictou, and was admitted 
 to the Bar on the 18th October, 1821. 
 
 In the year 1827, Mr. B. was mainly 
 instrumental in establishing at Pictou 
 the first newspaper published in N. S. 
 out of Halifax. It was called " The 
 Colonial Patriot^'' and was anonymously 
 edited by him. It had for its motto, 
 '' Pro rege, pro patria.'^ In exposition 
 of its motto and principles, it stated, 
 
 '•' We reverence the British Constitution 
 and honour the King as its head, but we feel | 
 assured, that the best way of showing true ! 
 regard to the King is bv advancing the inte- j 
 rests of his subjects. All governments are j 
 designed for the general go«i of the people, 
 and t lat government deserves most praise ! 
 
 which mo^t effectually succeeds in this ob- 
 ject ; and we boldly assert that he who pre- 
 tends to supjKJrt the dignity of the govern- 
 ment and the honour ef the Crown at the 
 expense of the general happiness, alike com- 
 mits treason against the King and his sub- 
 jects, — he betrays the people and dishonours 
 their Sovereign. 
 
 " In poUtics we shall side with the most 
 liberal system, • • • Having 
 witnessed the beneficial effects resulting 
 from an unshackled press in Britain, we 
 shall alwaj-s advocate the same system here. 
 
 *' We wiU discuss the interests of Pictou. 
 • • We shall raise our voice on behalf 
 of the whole Province. * * And 
 
 our humble efforts shall always be at the 
 command of our sister colonies, when we 
 think their just rights attacked or disregar- 
 ed or in danger of being compromised by 
 the negligence or inertness of the great 
 body of the people, or the adroitness or the 
 power of the few." 
 
 The paper thus established soon ex- 
 cited attention by the bold stand which 
 it took as an advocate of Liberal poli- 
 tics. It v:as the first paper of the kind 
 published in the Lower Colonies. The 
 newspai)ers in Halifax w^ere devoted 
 to the news of the day, containing 
 only some common-place remarks 
 on public events, and to have made 
 any remarks in condemnation of the 
 conduct of those in authority was 
 then deemed high treason. But Mr.B. 
 by the study of English politics, on 
 which excitement then ran high in 
 the mother country, embraced very 
 warmly the principles for which 
 Brougham and his compatriots w-ere 
 there contending, and deeply im- 
 bibed their spirit ; impressed with the 
 much greater subservience of the peo- 
 ple in general to the few in power 
 which existed here, he threw his 
 whole soul into the work of secur- 
 ing for the popular will that control 
 over public affairs for which the Re- 
 formers in Britain were contending. 
 Those measures of Reform which the 
 Reformers in Can. and N. S. afterwards 
 succeeded in carrying, th^ Colonial 
 Patriot uas the first paper in the Lower 
 Provinces to advocate. Mr. B. wielded 
 the pen of a ready writer. He wrote 
 rapidly, but his writings were marked 
 bv great vigour and independence. 
 The principal part of the political wri- 
 ting in that paper emanated from his 
 pen. These are marked by what Mr. 
 
BLA ; 
 
 Howe happily styled " racy vitupera- 
 tion." He was, however, aided by 
 others. The political questions of the 
 day were then mixed up with the 
 Pictou Academy discussion. In fact 
 that was the battle ground of party. 
 This drew in several Presbyteiian 
 clergymen to his aid, especially Dr. 
 McGulloch and Rev. Thos. Trotter, 
 both of whom wrote articles on the 
 public events of the day. 
 
 The principles which the Colonial 
 Patriot advocated, and the free spirit 
 in which it assailed those in power, 
 soon brought it into notice. The 
 extreme radical, or as they were 
 then deemed, revolutionary views 
 which it advocated, were received in 
 some places with horror, at a time when 
 the excesses of the first French Revo- 
 lution were still fresh in the minds of 
 men. We recollect of hearing of an 
 old Scotch minister being in company 
 with Mr. B. one evening, and hearing 
 him in his earnest way advocating his 
 political views, lifting up his hands 
 in holy amazement, and exclaiming,^ 
 •' Daring Innovator ! " 
 
 But a circumstance which gave Mr. 
 B. and the paper special notoriety, 
 was the publication of what was called 
 " the Canadian letter." There being 
 at that time much political agitation 
 in Can., its condition and affairs occu- 
 pied a prominent place in the Patriot's 
 discussions. It commented freely on 
 the unconstitutional ground taken by 
 Lord Dalhousie in rejecting a second 
 time the Speaker chosen by the 
 people's representatives ; and main- 
 tained that if the people were true to 
 themselves they must triumph in the 
 end. He was for a time a warm ad- 
 mirer of Mr. Papineau, though doubt- 
 less had he lived till the outbreak in 
 Canada in 1837, he would, like all the 
 Reformers in N. S., have condemned 
 the course taken by the P'rench Cana- 
 dian leader at that time. 
 
 Not long after the report of the pro- 
 ceedings of the Can. Parliament, at 
 which Mr. Papineau was a second time 
 rejected, reached N. S., an extract from 
 a private letter from a gentleman in 
 that province, was published in the 
 Canadian Spectator, in which the spirit 
 of the popular jiarty was applauded, 
 
 BLA 
 
 and assurance was given that what- 
 ever the enslaved press of N. S. 
 might say upon the subject, the great 
 majority, who knew the merits of 
 the conflict, thought well of the ob- 
 jects they had in view and in general 
 of the means they took to accomplish 
 them. It was stated that whilst in the 
 Legislature of N. S. there was a grow- 
 ing spirit of independence^ there was 
 still far too much servility to men in 
 power ; and though the existing state 
 of things in Can. was much to be de- 
 precated, it was desirable that some of 
 their spirit should come this way. 
 
 " A moderate quantity of it now might 
 supersede the necessity of more hereafter. 
 As prevention is preferable to remedy, I am 
 in hopes a Uttle of it will creep our waj'- 
 before a greater share of it be required." 
 
 This extract was copied into the Ha- 
 lifax papers. The writer was de- 
 nounced as a political libeller, not fit 
 to crawl on free soil, and his opinions 
 were characterised as disloyal and dan- 
 gerous. Over a nom clc plume, Mr. B. 
 defended the extract of which he was 
 the author, but disavowed the legiti- 
 macy of the comments which were 
 made upon it and the inferences drawn 
 from it. Such was the feeling excited 
 in high circles, that Mr. B. did not 
 trust the office witli the knowledge of 
 the authorship of what he wrote, and 
 therefore employed a friend as scribe, 
 in whose hand writing the manuscript 
 went to the press. 
 
 Mr. Joseph Howe, at that time editor 
 and publisher of the Nova Scotian, was 
 prominent amongst the assailants of 
 the principles which the writer of the 
 Canadian letter advocated, and a contro- 
 versy was maintained which did more 
 for the elucidation of the principles 
 of the liberal or reform party and their 
 establishment in N. S. than any thing 
 that had previously transpired. Mr. 
 Howe was then a young man, just be- 
 ginning his career as a journalist. 
 Even his early writings gave indica- 
 tions of the talents he possessed, al- 
 though he had not reflected deeply 
 upon political questions. He was natu- 
 rally connected with the official party, 
 his father being both Queen's Printer 
 and Postmaster General, and Mr. Howe, 
 was brought out as the chosen cham- 
 
BLA 
 
 pion of lliat party. But the result of 
 his controversy with Mr. B. was, that 
 he became a convert to the views, 
 whicli he at that time denounced, and 
 in the advocacy of which he after- 
 wards became so prominent and so 
 celebrated as a Reformer. He has 
 acknowledged that he received his 
 first impressions of liberal politics from 
 Jotham Blanchard ; not approving of 
 them at first, the more he thought upon 
 them the better he liked them, and, at 
 last, fully embraced and acted upon 
 them. 
 
 Mr. B. in the course which he pur- 
 sued encountered very violent hostili- 
 ty. Besides opposition in the press, and 
 burning in effigy he was, though not 
 robust, the subject of violent personal 
 assault, which however drew from his 
 pen a castigation of the assailant, com- 
 pared with which any person of ordi- 
 nary feeling would have preferred Mr. 
 B.'s bodily assault ; even when he set 
 up as a candidate for the house of 
 Assembly, a worthy magistrate, who 
 had independence enough to propose 
 him at the hustings, was immediately 
 dismissed from the Commission of the 
 Peace. 
 
 In the year 1830, he entered the 
 house of Assem. as a member for the 
 county of Halifax, which then em- 
 braced what now forms the three large 
 counties of Hahfax, Colchester and Pic- 
 tou, comprehending nearly one-third 
 of the province. The contest was 
 most violent, it being a time of great 
 excitement, and the whole government 
 influence being brought to bear espe- 
 cially against Mr. B., one of the four 
 opposition candidates, so that when 
 the poll was adjourned from Halifax, 
 he was at the foot, but through his 
 popularity in the county districts, now 
 forming the counties of Colchester and 
 Pictou, was triumphantly returned. 
 
 For 5 years he proved an energetic 
 member of the house. His voice was 
 ever raised on behalf of measures of 
 public improvement, and he was instru- 
 mental in carrying various impor- 
 tant measures. The subject which 
 engaged him most heartily was the sup- 
 port of the Pictou Academy. Both in 
 the Legislature and in the columns of 
 the Colonial Patriot^ he was its leading 
 advocate and champion. The govern- 
 
 38 BLE 
 
 ment still continuing hostile to the 
 institution, he was in the year 1831 
 sent by its friends to Britain to lay its 
 claims' before the British Government. 
 His labours were too great for his 
 bodily strength ; and though he was in 
 Halifax during the Session of 1836, the 
 last of that house, and able to attend 
 at his rooms to local county business, 
 he was unable to sit in the house. 
 Not long after, in 1838, his mind also 
 gave way, and he sank into a state 
 of mental imbecility from which he 
 never recovered.

 1790, he entered the office of his uncle 
 Major Holland, then Surveyor Genl. 
 of B. N. A., as a draftsman. In the 
 following year he joined the Provin- 
 cial Navy, in which service he remain- 
 ed until 1796. In that year he was 
 placed in command of an armed row- 
 galley on the St. Lawrence for the 
 purpose of detecting certain treason- 
 able practices, in which object he was 
 successful. In 1803, he was appointed 
 Deputy Surveyor Genl., and in the 
 following year Surveyor Genl of L. G. 
 During the Am. war of 1812, Mr. (now 
 Gol.) B. raised a corps called ''The 
 Quebec Volunteers, " and during the 
 continuance of the campaign, was 
 employed in carrying despatches from 
 head-quarters to Ihe Major Genl. com- 
 manding in U. G. ; he was also charg- 
 ed " with secret instructions to report 
 on the general defensive state of the 
 frontier, whether possessing any inte- 
 resting posts, and at the same time to 
 reconnoitre and ascertain the position 
 and strength of the enemy as he pro- 
 ceeded." He also rendered various 
 other important services to the Grown 
 at this critical period. In 1815, he 
 proceeded to Eng. for the purpose of 
 personally superintending the publica- 
 tion of his Topographical Maps and 
 Topofjraphical description of Lower Ca- 
 nada. A copy was presented by the 
 author in person to the Prince Regent, 
 to whom the work, by permission, was 
 dedicated. On this occasion Mr. Fen- 
 nings Taylor informs us, Gol. B. was 
 recommended by the Duke of Kent, 
 for the honour of Knighthood. While 
 in Eng. he received the appointment 
 of Surveyor Genl. under the articles 
 of the Treaty of Ghent, for establish- 
 ing the boundary between His Majes- 
 ty's possessions in Am. and the U. S. ; 
 and at the instance of the Gommis- 
 sionersand the agent under that treaty 
 prepared a project of operations for 
 the year 1817, vv'hich he submitted to 
 the board at Boston. The results of

 his labours, during that year was con- ; 
 veyed to the board of Commissioners ! 
 in extensive and explanatory plans, 
 sections, and reports, lor which he re- 
 ceived their approval and commenda- 
 tion, and upon which the strongest ar- 
 guments of His Majesty's Agent were 
 chiefly grounded, in claiming the 
 whole extent of country north of 
 Mars hill ridge of highlands, which is 
 that pointed out by Col. B. as the 
 legitimate boundary between that part 
 of the Brit, possessions and the terri- 
 tory of the U. S. And although the 
 Ashburton Treaty has since yielded to 
 the pretensions of the U. S., to a boun- 
 dary much further north, and coming 
 within a few miles of the St. Law 
 rence, it is now generally admitted 
 that the line of boundary pointed out 
 by Col. B. was that upon Avhicli the 
 Brit, negotiator should have insisted. 
 In 1827, with a view of ascertaining 
 the statistics of L. C, he visited all 
 parts of the province, and devoting him- 
 self to long and laborious researches, 
 deducted explanatory reports and 
 tabular statistical statements that met 
 with the marked approbation of His 
 Majesty's representative in that colony. 
 Availing himself of these several 
 tours as a means of perfecting his topo- 
 graphical work on L. C, he solicited 
 from the seigneurs copies of the plans 
 of their respective ^^/s and seigneuries, \ 
 and was enabled to compile maps of 
 the province still more voluminous 
 and correct than the former : and de- 
 sirous of rendering the information 
 thus acquired as generally useful as 
 possible, not only to the government, 
 but to the public in the mother coun- 
 try and the colony, he repaired to Eng. 
 in 1830, under the formal sanction and 
 support of the Provincial Legislature, 
 and with the approbation of the Execu- 
 tive Govt., to supei-in tend the publica- 
 tion of his new work on the topography, 
 geography, and statistics of L. C, which 
 grew out of the materials studiously 
 collected during the previous 15 years 
 with a view to the accomplishment of 
 that object. His works were printed 
 and published in Eng., on a scale of 
 magnificence which rendered them 
 costly to the author, and too expensive 
 for general circulation. For his first 
 work the Soc. of Arts and Sciences 
 
 (Lon.) elected him a corresponding 
 mem. and awarded him their " Gold 
 Isis Medal." His second work '^ The 
 British Dominions in NoiHh America^'" 
 and the maps which accompanied it, 
 were by special permission dedicated 
 to the late king William I\^, and was 
 received by that monarch from the 
 author in person. Col. B. was received 
 with favour and distinction at Court, 
 owing doubtless to the friendship of 
 his early patron the late Duke of Kent, 
 whose royal influence and protection 
 followed him in every phase of his 
 career in Eng.

 '' The interior of Lower Canada being so 
 Uttle known beyond the limits of the pro- 
 vince, a behef that a detailed account of it 
 would not only be useful by shewing its pre- 
 sent state, but by bringing it under more 
 general notice, might possibly assist in the 
 developement of its vast resources, has led 
 to the construction of a Topographical Map 
 upon a large scale, and to the publication of 
 the foUovN-ing book to illustrate the same 
 more fuUy. The result of several j^ears of 
 continued labour is now presented to the 
 world, but not without its author's feeling 
 the greatest diflSdence in bringing his work 
 before the tribunal of pubUc opinion, of 
 whose decisions even the most scientific and 
 accomplished often feel a dread. The man- 
 ner and method of the performance must 
 speak for themselves, but of the subject 
 matter it may be worth while to say a few 
 words : and on this point he may perhaps 
 be pardoned for a little self-gratulation, 
 when he notes vrith confidence the authenti- 
 city and correctness of the materials lie has 
 had to work upoui, which principally consist 
 of the valuable documents and oflBcial re- 
 cords, that in his capacity of Surveyor Ge- 
 neral of the Lower Province, are lodged with 
 his department, and wliich he has been per- 
 mitted the free use of. These, as accurately 
 descriptive of the date and extent of the

 feudal tenures, and of all the grants made 
 by the English Government, may conse- 
 quently be relied upon ; besides this source, 
 a long period of professional field service has 
 enabled him to acquire a very critical local 
 knowledge of almost every Y>art of the pro- 
 vince, and to verify the same by numerous 
 Surveys, and careful observations on the na- 
 ture, quality, and properties of the best and 
 most valuable tracts ; and from which he 
 ventures to believe he has been able to pre- 
 sent a body of information, relative to this 
 part of the British Trans-Atlantic Dominions, 
 that has, up to this period, been sought for 
 in vain from any other work. Nothing has 
 been admitted into the description without 
 mature reflection, nor anything but what 
 he entertains a well grounded confidence is 
 borne out by the actual state of the coun- 
 try. What is said of the Province of Upper 
 Canada is the substance of notes and me- 
 moranda made in that country very recently, 
 as well as a knowledge obtained of it during 
 an anterior service of six years as an officer 
 of the Provincial Navy upon the lakes ; these 
 have been corroborated and enlarged from 
 other sources of undeniable intelligence and 
 veracity." — Author^ s Preface.

 *• Le style de M. Bourassa est charmant. 
 Cest un heureux melange de sincerite dans 
 le sentiment, d'originalite ou d' entrain dans 
 ridee, de grace et de vivacite dans 1" expres- 
 sion. On n'ecrit pas plus naturellement. 
 Aucmi effort, point de pretention. L'ecri- 
 vain laisse la plume aussitot qu'il cesse de 
 sentir, ou s'il continue, c'est a son corps 
 defendant. II faut qu'il soit de belle humeur 
 pour ecrire des choses gaies, ou emu pour

 " Ce style pur, charmant, est chez M. 
 Bourassa un don de nature, luie grace d'ecri- 
 yain ; U ne s'est point laborieusement forme. 
 il s'est modele tout naturellement sur la 
 pensee de lecrivain. Son imagination est

 grades of the mercantile profession un- 
 til he is now become one of the lead-

 tedious and toilsome labours of the 
 " busy season " he has sought recrea- 
 tion in writing and in preparing lec- 
 tures, addresses and speeches on va- 
 rious popular subjects connected with 
 History, Biography and Literature. 
 These have been read and delivered, 
 and in every instance repeated, in 
 some cases from 15 to 18 times, in 
 different parts of the Lower Provinces 
 and the U. S. to crowded and intelli- 
 gent audiences. They have yielded 
 
 large syms in aid of various useful 
 works and charities ; in no instance 
 has Mr. B. himself consented to re- 
 ceive payment for his services as a 
 lecturer." The titles of his lectures 
 are as follows : — " Rritish Seamen and 
 their claims on us ;" " What the Woi'ld 
 worships;"'''' On a right knowledge of 
 Character ;" " The Russian War : its 
 cause and probable consequences ;" " Th^

 Bristow, William. A Can. journ. B. 
 in Birmingham, Eng., 25 Dec, 1808. 
 Mr. B. commenced his connection 
 with Can. journalism as a contributor 
 to the Union., (Que.) a small paper, 
 established in 1836, to secure the return 
 to Parliament of the late Mr. Andrew 
 Stuart. In 1841 he contributed to the 
 Gazette (Que.) a series of letters, advo- 
 cating the principles of Responsible 
 Govt, affirmed in the Resolutions of 
 the Hon. R. Baldwin in the Can. Le- 
 gislature. When I he Free Trade Asso- 
 ciatio (Mont.) established the Economist 
 in 1846, Mr. B. became a leading and 
 a frequent contributor to its ed. co- 
 lumns. In 1849 the storm of party 
 strife was at its highest, and the Re- 
 bellion Losses Bill with the burning 
 of the Parliament buildings and other 
 incidents stirred the public mind from 
 its lowest depths ; the Ministerial or 
 Reform party was almost without a 
 representative in the press of Montreal. 
 Mr. Hincks having, during his position 
 of Minister perforce retired from the 
 ed. chair of the Pilot., a Montreal jour- 
 nal which he had vigorously occu- 
 pied during several years. The Con- 
 servative press, ably represented by 
 
BRI 
 
 Messrs. Kinnear, Abraham, Fleet, 
 Turner and others, launched their 
 daily thunders for some time with 
 deadly effect on almost silent oppo- 
 nents. In this condition of affairs, 
 Mr. B., whose experience with the 
 press had been of the limited nature 
 related, was invited by the leaders of 
 the party to take the ed. chair of the 
 Pilot newspaper, then the property of 
 Mr. RoUo Campbell, who had recently 
 purchased it from Mr. Ilincks. Mr. 
 B. accepted the charge, and it was 
 generally conceded that he fulfilled 
 his arduous duty with ability and dis- 
 cretion under all the trying events that 
 ensued. When the movement, now 
 generally admitted as most injudicious, 
 in favor of annexation with the U. S. 
 with the consent of Gt. Brit, was insti- 
 tuted, Ml". B. was strenuous in his op- 
 position to it, and largely contributed 
 by his arguments, contmued in every 
 successive issue of the Pilot in bringing 
 the entire project into public disfavour. 
 His connection with the P/7o^ continued 
 at different intervals until 1854, when it 
 ceased. Shortly after the General Elec- 
 tion of 1854, at which he was an un- 
 successful candidate for Montreal, he 
 established a journal — published at 
 first tri-weekly and subseqently daily- 
 called the Argus. It was continued for 
 about 4 years. Its politics were in 
 decided opposition to the Ministry 
 under the various replutragcs which 
 prevailed during that space of time, 
 and its columns were devoted to an 
 exposure of alleged abuses and the ad- 
 vocacy of Departmental and Financial 
 reforms. After the relinquishment 
 of the Argus^ he became ed. of the 
 Transcript, for about 2 years. This 
 terminated his ed. connection with the 
 press, although he has the reputation 
 of having furnished occasional articles 
 to several public journals. 
 
 Although Mr. B. is known as tho- 
 roughly conversant with literature 
 generally, his writings have been prin- 
 cipally, so far as we are aware, con- 
 veyed through the press. On two 
 occasions he delivered a public lecture. 
 The first was on a Free Trade subject, 
 during the time he contributed so 
 largely to the Economist. The second 
 was before the Mechanics' Institute 
 (Mont.) during the furore of the annex- 
 
 49 BRO 
 
 ation movement in 1849. The subject 
 was the future condition and prosperity 
 of Can., and in handling it, the lec- 
 turer whilst studiously refraining 
 from directly adverting to annexation, 
 so collocated his arguments and illus- 
 trations as to refute those adduced in 
 favour of the radical change attempted 
 to be introduced. This lecture which 
 was published at the request of the 
 auditors, found its way to the public 
 journals, and was largely quoted from 
 and eulogized strongly in the Times 
 (Lon.) the Colonial Mag. and other 
 British periodicals. The then Secy, 
 for the Colonies, Earl Grey, also ad- 
 dressed to Lord Elgin, Gov. Genl., a 
 flattering eulogy on the production, 
 requesting him to convey his hearty 
 sentiments of approbation to the 
 author. 
 
 Mr. B. has occupied various positions 
 of trust and importance in the Pro- 
 vince. In 1837 he was Secy, of the 
 Constitutional Association (Que.), and 
 in that capacity was largely instru- 
 mental in causing Mr. Andrew Stuart 
 to be despatched to Eng. to urge on 
 the Imperial Govt, legislation for the 
 Union of the Canadas. In 18i8 he 
 was a mem. of a Commission appointed 
 to enquire into the conduct and man- 
 agement of the Provincial Peniten- 
 tiary. In 18G2 he was a mem. of the 
 Financial and Departmental Commis- 
 sion, whose report has been published.

 Brown, Hon. George. A Can. States-

 He early entered mercantile life in 
 London, but his occupation proving 
 uncongenial he soon retired from it 
 and accompanied his father the late 
 
 Mr. Peter, Brown (whom see) to N. Y. 
 Here he joined the ed. staff of the Bri- 
 tish Chronicle, established by his father 
 in 1842. His writings in that journal 
 attracted attention in Can., and when 
 in the following year his father was 
 invited by the Free Ch. party in U. C. 
 to proceed there and found a news- 
 paper in the interest of that important 
 religious body, the subject of our 
 notice accompanied him to Toronto. 
 To the ed. columns of the Banner, as 
 the new journal was called, he was 
 one of the chief contributors, while it 
 existed. But it was soon found that, 
 as a political organ, the Banner owing 
 to its religious character could never 
 obtam a general circulation ; and in 
 1844 the Reform party wanting an 
 organ which would be more directly 
 under the control of its leaders than 
 any paper which then existed, the 
 Globe was projected and estabUshed by 
 Mr. G. B. to meet the want. 
 
 " The ability with which the new journal 
 was conducted " says Mr. Fennings Taylor, 
 in his sketch of 3Ir. B. " became at once 
 apparent. It received the support of the 
 gi-eat reform party of Upper Canada. From 
 a weekly, it speedily became a tri- weekly 
 and then a daily paper, and from that time 
 until now it has, we believe, no superior in 
 circulation, and no equal in influence among 
 the newspapers of the Province. 
 
 " The signal triumph of the liberal party 
 at the elections, in 1847, was not a little due 
 to the advocacy which their cause received 
 from the new journal ; nor was it a matter 
 of surprise that it should have become the 
 organ of the Lafontaine-Baldwin government, 
 when that administration was formed in 
 March, 1848. 
 
 •' The indignation which was naturally 
 occasioned in England in 1850, when the 
 Pope issued his bull, erecting a Eoman Ca- 
 tholic hierarchy in the United Kingdom, 
 was not without its effect on Mr. Bro\vn. 
 The spirit of Lord Jolm Russell's famous 
 letter to the Bishop of Durham fired his 
 mind with a zeal which, however, was rather 
 chai-acterized by ardor than by policy. Indeed 
 he felt too strongly to be discreet. He 
 would meet Papal aggression with Protes- 
 tant resistance : and, regardless alike of 
 party considerations or political conse- 
 quences, he thence forward became the 
 uncompromizing exponent of what he termed 
 ' broad Protestant principles.' It has been 
 observed elsewhere that the public opinion 
 of Canada appears to be in the highest de- 
 gree sensitive to the public opinion of the 
 two great European nations from whidi its 
 
BRO 
 
 51 
 
 BRO 
 
 population has mainly sprung. Thus the 
 violence which preceded and accompanied 
 the passing of the Reform Bill of England, 
 gave shape to the greater violence which 
 characterized the Provincial troubles of 1837- 
 38. The revolution in France, in 1848, 
 created the philosophical revolutionary 
 party of Canada, which, for want of another 
 name, is conveniently designated the ' rouge ' 
 party ; and the Papal aggression Act of 
 1850 had the effect of gathering under one 
 political banner the various bodies of non- 
 conformists, whose aggressive Protestantism 
 api^ears to be as fully allied with political 
 feeling as with religious sentiment. Thus 
 when the anger of Lord John Russell had 
 been rebuked by wisdom or sUeiaced by 
 fear ; when, as Leech portrayed him in 
 Punch, he ran away from the consequences 
 of his own cry, the animosity of his Canadian 
 imitators continued unabated ; and such 
 phrases as ' Papal aggression ' and ' Protes- 
 tant ascendancy,' continued to be reverbe- 
 rated through our community with perilous 
 persistency, until the evils which they exag- 
 gerated seemed to threaten its peace." 
 
 Ill 1851 Mr. B. was returned to Par- 
 liament as a mem. of the Leg. Assem., 
 in which he has since, with but slight 
 interruption, continued to sit. Both 
 in the columns of his paper, and in 
 his place in Parliament he was a con- 
 stant and unswerving advocate of 
 " Representation by Population," for 
 the people of U. C, and it was mainly 
 owing to his zealous endeavours that 
 that great principle was at length con- 
 ceded by the opposite political party 
 in the Union Negotiations of 1865. 
 The Globe has also been successful, 
 since its first establishment, in being 
 the means of having various necessary 
 reforms etfected in the administrative, 
 departmental and municipal govern- 
 ment of the Province — it has contended 
 strongly against monopolies of every 
 kind, both great and small. The 
 abolishing of all unnecessary oppres- 
 sive enactments and of all measures 
 having a tendency in any way to 
 retard the commercial, industrial and 
 general prosperity of Can., has also 
 been the assiduous and, we believe, 
 the sincere object of that great organ 
 of public opinion. P'rom the time of 
 the formation of the Can. Coalition in 
 1865 until the final passage of the 
 " British North America Act of 1867 " 
 by the Imperial Parliament, the Globe 
 gave a strong and steady support to Con 
 federation. In 1864 Mr. B, established 
 
 the Canada' Farmer^ a weekly agricul- 
 tural journal, which had been pre- 
 viously published by the Board of Agri- 
 culture of U. C. Mr. B. was for several 
 years the leader of the Reform party 
 in U. C. For a few days in June, 1858 
 he was Prime Minister of the Province ; 
 in 1865 he again took office in the 
 Tache-Macdonald ministry in order to 
 carry out the Union of B. N. A., from 
 which administration he retired earlv 
 in 1866.

 of a large and generous mind — ever on the 
 side of freedom. He was a good classical scho- 
 lar, and an earnest student to the last week 
 of his life. He was an accurate historian, 
 and especially in the constitutional and bio- 
 graphical historj' of the past centurj' he was

 important positions in Can., more 
 particularly in the city of Montreal, 
 with the commercial interests of which 
 he has always been prominently iden-

 others, re-established the Vindicator 
 (Mont.) newspaper, to which he largely 
 contributed, often taking the place of 
 its regular ed., up to 1837. Mr. B. also ' 
 contributed in 1833 to the Advertiser, the j 
 first daily journal established in Mont. ! 
 Having taken an active part in the i

 \o years of age entered into business 
 in the employment of a large firm 
 engaged in the West India and Hon- 
 duras trade. Before he arrived at the 
 age of 20 he was taken into the firm 
 as a partner, and in 1833 was wholly 
 entrusted with the Can. branch. He 
 was the pioneer of the wholesale trade 
 in Western Can., having as early as 
 1831 established a branch of his house 
 at Toronto. He subsequently estab^ 
 lished another branch at Hamilton, 
 and a third at London. In 184 1 he was 
 returned to Parliament for Toronto. 
 He sat for Hamilton from 1857 to 1865, 
 and was President of the Executive 
 Council for a short period in the latter 
 year. He has been President of the 
 Boards of Trade of Toronto and Ham- 
 ilton, respectively. 
 
 During the time he sat in Parlia- 
 ment, Mr. B. either introduced or was 
 prominently identified with many 
 measures and schemes for the improve- 
 ment of the trade and currency of 
 the Province. He is the recognized 
 standard-bearer of Protection, and has 
 for many years been the President of

 Canadian Industry. He has written

 wholly unprincipled, legislators, who 
 (quaking for their owii monopolist ,

 to any such unlawful or' anti-British

 the true faith — any more than they

 the Colonies and our supremacy on

 these days of revolution ; and, without 
 thanking Sir R. Peel, we might take 
 courage — if we only had a man such 
 as we lost in Lord George Bentinck, 
 or like William Pitt, at the helm — 
 from the facts that the Constitution 
 has invariably been strengthened by 
 the widening of the Franchise, whe- 
 ther in the time of King John, Charles 
 I., or the more recent Reform Bill, 
 and that the Navigation Law was the 
 work of Ohver Ci'omwell and the 
 Long Parliament, while our Colonial 
 system, although it may date its nom- 
 inal origin from Queen Elizabeth, 
 owed all its vitality and development 
 to the extreme democracy of the great 
 Rebellion, — Our universal suffrage 
 should also be used to elect the Upper 
 House, which is at present without 
 moral weight in the country, Peers 
 and Baronets, with their sons, being 
 eligible as members of it hereafter.

 " A collection of the Speeches and Writings 
 of the Hon. Isaac Buchanan, edited by Mr. 
 Henry J. Morgan, has been published at 
 Montreal, by Mr. John Lovell. They relate 
 to the politics of Canada — with which Mr. 
 Buchanan has been connected for many 
 years — and afford much useful information 
 as to the industrial interests of the provinces. 
 Their favorite topic is political economy, 
 which Mr. Buchanan discusses with practical 
 knowledge and with warm enthusiasm. 
 Their style, though unpolished, is forcible ; 
 and though occasionally tinged with partisan 
 bitterness, their spirit is candid and manly. 
 Their writer is the foremost merchant of 
 Canada, and is noted no less for his patriot- 
 ism than for his experience in business, and 
 his general information. His faithful services, 
 in the Canadian Parliament, and in other 
 official stations, have won the honorable 
 esteem of his fellow citizens. He speaks, 
 therefore, with authority as to the Canadas : 
 and students of politics therein will find 
 his writings instructive in no common de- 
 gree," — Albion, (N, Y.) 
 
 '' We have been agreeably disappointed 
 in this work, for instead of finding it ' flat, 
 stale and unprofitable,' like too many of the 
 books and pamphlets which find their way 
 to our sanctum, it is replete with information 
 of vast importance, and of vital and absorb- 
 ing interest. Previous to meeting with this 
 work, we had fallen into the very prevalent 
 error of supposing that the doctrines of the 
 English Economists or Free Traders had 
 long since been established on a solid and 
 immutable basis, and that it would be little 
 short of insanity to impugn the soundness 
 of their principles or to question the social 
 advantages which — the advocates of " free 
 trade " assert — are inseparably connected 
 therewith. ' Free Trade/ as advocated by 
 the Manchester School, we now find, means 
 simply the free import of raw materials, and 
 the substitution of foreign for domestic labor. 
 The work before us has completely dispelled 
 the '* fog " which has hitherto prevented 
 our looking this subject full in the face, and 
 has caused our adoption of principles, with- 
 out sufiScient inquiry or investigation, which 
 we should, with clearer light and imder bet- 
 ter guidance, have long since repudiated." —

 antagonism, bom and bred of liberty and

 Mr. B. came to Can. many years since, 
 and was connected with' the Globe 
 (Tor.) for a considerable period. In 
 the autumn of 1859, in conjunction 
 with Mr. William Caldwell, he con- 
 ceived the project of establishing a 
 newspaper in the very heart of the char- 
 tered territory of the Hudson's Bay 
 Company. The enterprise was beset 
 with difficulties of which " gentlemen 
 of the press," " who sit at home at 
 ease," can have very little conception. 
 A newspaper publisher from Detroit 
 had already attempted the experiment, 
 but taking the Lake Superior route, 
 broke down with his heavy material 
 at Sault Ste. Marie, at the very com- 
 mencement of his journey, and gave 
 up the project in despair. Mr. B. and 
 his colleague adopted the wiser plan 
 of setting out for the Red River Settle- 
 ment via St. Paul and Pembina. Their 
 printing press, types, paper, ink, and 
 every other newspaper requisite were 
 conveyed in ox-carts — the only mode 
 of transportation at that time known 
 to the country. The journey w^as te-

 dioiis and laborious, lasting about 6 
 weeks, and extending through a terri- 
 tory wholly unopened beyond the 
 frontier settlements of Minnesota, and 
 occupied by treacherous Indians. The 
 destination was, however, reached at 
 last in safety, and early in the follow- 
 ing year, the first number of The Nor- 
 Wester^ published immediately under 
 the walls of Fort Garry, attested the 
 success of the undertaking. Occupying 
 by many hundred miles the most 
 advanced position amongst journalists, 
 it has no '' contemporary " to fight or 
 compete with ; but acts the better part 
 of making known the advantages and 
 resources of the country, and of 
 demanding for the people the right, 
 which cannot be much longer delayed, 
 of self-government. Speaking of the 
 enterprise when it was first set afoot, 
 the late W. L. Mackenzie, the veteran 
 journalist of U. C, said in his Mes- 
 sage^ — " I was once the most western 
 " editor, bookseller, and printer in 
 " British America ; but The Nor'' Wester 
 " is a thousand miles beyond me." 
 Leaving The Nor' Wester an established 
 institution at Ked River, Mr. B. re- 
 turned to Can. in 1861 and renewed 
 his connection with the Provincial 
 press, editing the Norfolk Reformer for 
 about 18 months, when in 1802 he 
 became private secretary to the Hon. 
 M. H. Foley, then Postmaster Genl., a 
 position from which he retired in the 
 following year to assume the ed. and 
 proprietorship of the Beacon, (Strat- 
 ford, U. G.), in which he still conti- 
 nues. During the recent conference in 
 London between the delegates from 
 the B. N- A. Provinces and the Impe- 
 rial Authorities, preparatory to the 
 passing of the Gonfederation Act, Mr. 
 B. was present and acted as official 
 reporter of the proceedings on behalf 
 of Gan.

 an emigration to Can. In 1844 he. 
 with the late Principal Cunningham, 
 w^ere deputed by the Free Ch. of Scot.

 of the East India Go. Subsequently 
 emigrated to B. A., became a tutor to 
 several persons who afterwards at- 
 tained honorable distinction, and was 
 admitted a mem. of the bar of N. S. 
 He was a man of varied and scholarly 
 attainments; and possessed consider- 
 able ability and skill as a public writer. 
 In 1805, founded the Mercury, (Que.) 
 This paper originated from a desire to 
 express the sentiments, sympathies and 
 predilections of the British inhabitants 
 of Quebec, who, at that time, formed a 
 small but wealthy and influential por- 
 tion of the community. The object 
 was that that section of the people 
 should have a non-official organ of 
 their opinions, and be enabled to pro- 
 test against such acts of power as they 
 objected to, and to oppose the writings 
 of their adversaries in respect of poli- 
 tics and nationality with equal free- 
 dom. Under Mr. G., the Mercury at 
 once became what it has ever since 
 continued to be, the consistent and 
 unswerving advocate of high tory 
 and episcopalian principles. 
 
 He conducted his journal with the 
 most dauntless intrepidity. His style 
 was at once classical, terse and vigour- 
 ous ; his mode of attack — and he was 
 even readier with the sword than with 
 the shield, though master of both — 
 was, in the taste of his day, modelled 
 after Junius. But, if in the manner 
 he followed the teachings of the great 
 satirist, in the matter he was essen- 
 tially original ; and his boldness 
 brought him several times into colli- 
 sion with the House of Assembly.

 (then Mr.) Stuart, who at that time 
 led the Leg. Assem., while Mr. G. was 
 the literary defender of the then Chief- 
 Justice Sewell and the Leg. Conn. — 
 was pronounced a libel and breach of 
 privilege, by a nearly unanimous vote 
 of the Assem. On another occasion, 
 the speaker's warrant having been 
 issued for his apprehension, he re- 
 mained concealed till the close of the 
 session in a secret apartment inge- 
 niously constructed in his residence, 
 and from his hiding place poured forth 
 his philippics upon his political oppo- 
 nents, like a high tory and amiable 
 Marat — we say amiable, for he was a 
 man of decided benevolence of heart. 
 Unterrified by the sergeant-at-arms, 
 then a much more formidable person- 
 nage than now-a-days, the Mercury con- 
 tinued its course ; and, with its prin- 
 ciples, descended from father to son, 
 and from son to grandson, of its first 
 proprietor.

 Casgrain, VAbbe H. R. A French Can. 
 author. Is a son of the late Hon. 
 Charles Casgrain. B. at River Ouelle, 
 L. C. 1831. Ed. first at the College of 
 Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere and then 
 
 at the Quebec Seminary where he 
 studied Divinity for the*^ R. C. Ch., 
 and in due course was admitted to 
 the priesthood. As an author he first 
 became known to the public through 
 his volume of Can. Legends. There 
 is apparent in this work great rich- 
 ness of imagination which however 
 is disfigured by w^ant of the natural 
 in his scenes and characters. This 
 defect, he has succeeded in overcom- 
 ing in his later productions. His most 
 successful literary performance, is 
 the history of La Merc Marie de r Incar- 
 nation., which has been justly pro- 
 nounced one of the most remarkable 
 books published in Can. The life of 
 this most excellent woman has much 
 of the romantic in it. Allied to one of 
 the first families in France, becoming 
 in turn first a wife, then a mother and 
 finally a wido\v, she abandoned all the 
 comforts and luxuries of her elevated 
 position, to cross the seas to the unci- 
 vilized regions of New France in order 
 to devote the remainder of her exis- 
 tence to a religious life. The recital 
 of her labours and struggles with the 
 privations and disappointments which 
 met her, up to the final establishment of 
 the Monastery of the Ursulines (Que.), 
 of which she became first superior, 
 is full of the liveliest interest. The 
 style of the author is elaborate, more 
 so, in fact, than we could wish in a 
 work of this description. For this 
 work I'Abbe C. has received a medal 
 from His Holiness the Pope in reco- 
 gnition of its literary merits. Mr. C. 
 has done much towards creating a 
 correct taste in Literature and the Arts 
 amongst his countrymen, and is re- 
 garded as one of the most graceful and 
 finished writers which the French 
 Canadians possess. His miscellaneous 
 writings have appeared nearly alto- 
 gether in the pages of Les Soir. Can. and 
 Le Foy. Can. (Que.) M. Casgrain has 
 lately made a voyage to France in 
 search of documents concerning Cham 
 plain, the founder of Quebec.

 *' This is certainly the handsomest work 
 •we have yet seen from the Canadian press. 
 Mid well deserves its dress. The Teresa of 
 New France, whose biography her son por- 
 trayed in the 17th, and Charlevoix in the 
 18th, had her claims on the 19th. and 
 Canada, in one of her most gifted sons, a 
 litterateiu* of exquisite taste, of rich and 
 classic language, pays the tribute of his 
 country to the heroine whose exalted piety 
 and devotion can rouse even the sons of 
 the Puritans to admiration. Mr. Casgrain 
 
 weaves into his narrative all the gra<*e and 
 beauty of style called for in our day, withou t 
 neglecting the accuracy of historical details 
 or the pious element, the omission of which, 
 as a pervading atmosphere in such a life, 
 would be a misconception of the subject." —

 " 11 me reste a porter sur Touvrage et sur 
 le talent de Tauteur un jugement d'en- 
 semble. J'ai deja indique, chemin faisant, 
 ime partie de ce qui me reste a dire, j'ai 
 reconnu et loue Teclat de certaines quahtes 
 et donne le signalement de quelques uns des 
 defauts. La premiere qualite de M. Casgrain 
 est rimagination ; ses principaux defauts 
 sont le gout de la declamation dans le style, 
 Tamour de certains mots sonores dans la 
 phrase, le respect du convenu dans le recit, 
 le culte de la pose dans ses hpros. Son 
 imagination est tour a tour brillante. evo- 
 quant les plus belles images, gracieux, 
 donnant aux choses un tour delicat et char- 
 man t, touchant et faisant naitre sans eflTorts 
 les plus vives impressions, les emotions les 
 plus profondes. Cett« imagination ne peut 
 que se developper, devenir sure d'eUe-meme, 
 en restant bardie, s'elever a mesure qu"elle 
 s'astreindra aux lois d"un gout severe. II y 
 a vme plus grande depense d'imagination 
 dans les lAgendes que dans V Histoire de la 
 Mh-e de T Incarnation, cependant meme 
 comme imagination, je prefere \' Histoire aux 
 L^gendes. La profusion est moins grande, 
 mais labondance est plus reelle ; T eclat est 
 plus tempere, mais il est plus solide; il 
 eblouit moins a premiere vue, mais la 
 lumiere qu"il projette est plus pure et elle 
 ne lasse pas. L'eclairage artiticiel est ma- 
 gnifique dans les lAgendes, et ce qui y 
 manque c'est plutot un coin obscur, une 
 page simple ou Tesprit se puisse reposer un 
 instant de toutes ces splendeurs : mais dans 
 \' Histoire de la Mare de V Incarnation, ce sont 
 de purs rayons qui eclairent et qui font bien 
 vite paUr les quelques lumieres douteuses 
 qui cherchent encore a se gUsser qk et la. 
 Le sujet a porte bonheur a 1 auteur et lui a 
 fait sentir la necessite d'etre plus simple, 
 plus severe : il n'a pas voulu etaler, a cote 
 de la belle prose du 1 7e siecle de son heroine, 
 les omements fanes du romantisme. Son 
 imagination avait aussimoinsa s'exercer, en 
 ce sens que dans les L^gendes, ou il fallait 
 creer une fable, composer ime trame, 
 tandis qu'ici il n'y avait qu'a suivre les 
 phases successives de la vocation et de Tex- 
 istence de la Mere de I'lncamation. Le 
 talent s'est ploye aisement aux regies du 
 sujet, et en le voj-ant dans le cadie un peu 
 severe, mais elegamment sculpte, suspendu 
 aux murs bLancs d'un couvent, on croirait 
 qu'il y a ete place en naissant et Ton ne 
 devinerait pas de suite qu'il a glLsse autrefois, 
 sur la pentede la legende, vers le roman." —

 " Le travail de M. Cassegrain n'est pas

 que les bons vers ne soient pas 1' exception.

 tant d'ardeur, que ne pouvant s'arreter, il

 Cauchon, Hon. Joseph. A French Can. 
 statesman and journ. B. in Quebec. 
 Dec. 1816. Received his education at 
 the Seminary of his native city. At the 
 termination of his sch. studies, entered 
 on that of the law and was finally ad- 
 mitted as an advocate ; he has how- 
 ever never practised his profession. 
 Mr. C. has sat uninterruptedly in the 
 Leg. Asscm. since 1844 ; held the 
 oflices of Com. of Crown Lands and 
 Com. of Public Works at separate 
 times. Since Jany. 1866 he has been 
 Mayor of Quebec. Whilst still a sch. 
 boy, began w^riting for the newspaper 
 press, contributing to Le Liberal (Que.) 
 Gaining strength with his pen he after- 
 wards edited Le Canadicn, the leading- 
 organ of the French Canadians, during 
 the temporary absence of its regular 
 ed., Mr. Parent, and was engaged in 
 writing for it w'hen the paper was sup- 
 pressed by the Govt. In J842 founded 
 Le Journal de Quebec, which has since 
 become in point of circulation and in- 
 fluence one of the foremost and most 
 enterprising newspapers published in 
 either language in Can. Of this paper 
 Mr. C. has been the chief ed., and he 
 has divided the principal portion of 
 his time and attention between his 
 journalistic and legislative duties. 
 It is generally conceded that he oc- 
 cupies a first place in the ranks of 
 French Can. journalists. 
 
 '' He is one of the most clear and nervous* 
 of our public writers ; and to his other high 
 merits unites a well stored and cultivated 
 mind on almost every branch of knowledge. 
 Besides an indomitable will, Mr. Cauchon 
 possesses great individuality of character ; 
 determination which no opposition can in- 
 timidate ; industry which no labor can ex- 
 haust, and perseverance which no discourage- 
 ment can appal. He moves vehemently as 
 well as persistently, towards the point he 
 wishes to arrive at. Such movement, more- 
 over, appears to be impelled by the unres- 
 trained despotism of his thoughts ; thoughts 
 which know neither friend nor counsellor 
 outside of the fervid brain in which they are 
 generated. The matter of his speech har- 
 monizes with its temperature. He rarely 
 persuades ; he seeks rather to destroy than 
 
CAU

 to convince ; to expose the weakness of his 
 adversary's argument rather than exhibit 
 the strength of his own. He does not resort 
 to sophistry, being careful only to assert 
 truth, or what he beUeves to be truth. He 
 conciliates by accident, while he controls by 
 habit. Force is his normal condition, and 
 intellectual activity is the life of that condi- 
 tion. He delights in mental gj-mnastics, 
 and enters with zest, and from sheer love of 
 the exercise into the arena of controversy. 
 Though he lacks the flexible qualities which 
 go to mike a leader popular, he possesses 
 the forcilde ones which make an ally valuable. 
 He is a powerful associate and a dangerous 
 opponent.'' — Fksnings Taylor : Portraits of

 " There is no man in Lower Canada to 
 whom the duty of laying before his coimtry- 
 men a bold, ^agorous defence of the resolu-

 career as a pubUc man, and the important 
 positions which he has held in the govern- 
 ment of the Province, and in the discussions 
 of every question of importance which has 
 agitated it during the last twenty years, had 
 endeared him to his fellow subjects — the 
 French Canadians of Lower Canada^ — and en- 
 titled him to speak to them, as one who had 
 never hesitated when their interests were 
 involved, never remained silent when their 
 character was assailed. Never having be- 
 traye<l them in the past, he was entitled to 
 ask at their hinds a fair and full hearing 
 now : and it is a matter of sincere congra- 
 tulation, that in the district of Quebec where 
 his power most circulates, and where his in- 
 fluence is most felt, the vote in favour of the 
 resolutions of the Conference will be all but 
 unanimous. If the scheme shall be success- 
 ful, a large portion of the merit of bringing 
 it to a successful termination will be due 
 to the earnest and patriotic effort of Mr. 
 Cauchon to induce its acceptance at the 
 hands of the Lower Canadians.'' — Sj)ectator,

 " EVERSLY EeCTORY, ENGLAND. 
 
 " Dear Sir, — Some unknown friend has 
 sent me from time to time, for some years 
 past, the Montreal Gazette and Canadian Muil. 
 
 '* Allow me, at this crisis, to tender him 
 through your columns my hearty thanks ; 
 and to tender to you, at the same time, the 
 expression of my respect for your paper. 
 
 " Loyalty and patriotism are qualities on 
 wliich I shall not compliment you. They 
 seem to be native to Canadians ; and it would 
 be an impertinence on my part to praise you 
 for possessing that which you would be 
 ashamed to want. 
 
 " But I must compliment you on the sound 
 sense with which you are treating the question 
 of the ' Reciprocity Treaty.' As an old free- 
 trader, I cannot but believe that the United 
 States are making a mistake injurious to them- 
 selves but ultimately most beneficial to you ; 
 that the present change will issue in your find- 
 ing new and more profitable markets for your 
 productions, and will connect you more close- 
 ly with that old world whose history is not 
 yet quite played out. 
 
 '' Let me compliment you also on the noble 
 attitude which Canada is assuming at this mo- 
 ment, an attitude which you have (as far as I 
 have read) always recommended ; and, it may 
 be materially assisted by your gallant but 
 moderate exhortations. 
 5* 
 
 "England will be, now and henceforth, 
 truly proud of her child ; and all the more 
 proud because in Canada seems to be solved 
 at last that ' Irish problem ' which has so 
 sadly troubled us at home. 
 
 " As long as the system of politics and so- 
 ciety carried out in Canada can convert such 
 men as Mr. McGee, (whom I mention with 
 much respect) and can rally in support of 
 the Throne and Constitution thousands, not 
 only of Protestant English and Scotch, but 
 of Catholic French and Irish, Canada will be 
 in a position which many a kingdom of the 
 old world may well envy ; and one which Avill 
 surely, if she continues as she has begun, 
 make her a mighty and. happy State. 
 " I remain, Dear Sir, 
 
 " Your faithful servant, 
 ''CHAS. KINGSLEY."

 " Craving as we do a native poetry, if 
 we are to have Ginadian poetry at all, the i 
 iSong of Charity takes us by guile. The dedi- \ 
 cation * * 'to kinds friends in ! 
 
 Orillia, Canada West,' tell us that the poem ■■ 
 was * composed in chief part, during a sum- 
 mer's holiday, on the waters and amidst the 
 islets of little Lake Couchiehing.' Here 
 accordingly is genuine native inspiration. 
 We are gliding, with the author in his birch ; 
 canoe, over the picturesque lake, and hailing 
 the Indian as he silently paddles past us, 
 under the lee of the wooded islands, from 
 the prettily named Orillia — so called after a 
 favorite native flower — to his own scattered 
 Indian lodges at Rama. [Quoting from one 
 ofthepoems J Canadian Summer's Night the 
 writer proceeds : ] Now this is a genuine Ca- 
 nadian scene, such as no fireside traveller 
 or fancy-visioned poet of old world wander- 
 ings or librarj' book-dust, could possibly call 
 into being. The dark recesses of the pine- 
 woods and the shadows of the lake-fringing 
 Sumach, the monotonous call of the Whip- 
 poor-will, the soft and musical night-song of 
 the frogs, the fitful gleaming of the tireflj' , 
 dancing in the cedar-swamp, the prowUng 
 night owl noiselessly listening to the mock- 
 ing note — half a whistle and half a coo — of . 
 the tree-frog ; each one of these shows the 
 touch of a Canadian pencil, such as the most 
 labored study of the home poet would in 
 vain attempt. In this direction alone Ues 
 the path in which poetic success is worth 
 welcoming among us." — Pkof. D. Wilsox: ,

 1840. Judge of the Supreme Court of 
 New Zealand from Nov. 18 i3 to March 
 18r2, when appointed Colonial Sec. of 
 Tasmania. Throwing up this latter 
 position, in 1854 he established him- 
 self at Melbourne where he practised 
 his profession. Being elected to the 
 Assem. he became Attorney Genl. in 
 1857, again in 1858, a third time 
 in 1859, and finally received the f.p 
 pointment of Judge of the Supreme 
 Court in 18G2. He is now Judge in New 
 Zealand. in 1833 established the 
 Dailij Advertiser (Mont.) the first daily 
 newspaper published in B. A. Con- 
 nected with it was the Courier., pu- 
 blished twice a week, and the Weekly 
 Abstract, the latter journal published 
 for the Eng. mail ; all of these were 
 strong advocates of the Liberal cause 
 of that day. As Ed. of these journals 
 Mr. C. displayed great vigour and 
 ability and materially assisted the 
 cause of the political party to which 
 he belonged. Their public^ition ceased 
 on Mr. C. proceeding to Eng. in 1834, 
 as the bearer of a petition from the 
 inhabitants of L. C. to the Imperial 
 Legislature. As a writer for the Eng. 
 periodical press he was the means of 
 rendering important services to Can. 
 and B. A. He is the author of articles 
 in the Encyclopxdia Brittanica., and of 
 several works on law and government 
 which have appeared since he left this 
 country.

 On leaving that institution he entered : 
 on the study of the law, and in due 
 time was admitted to practice. In

 where he continued to hold a seat up j

 ed to the ofBce which he still holds — ' 
 Superintendent of Education for L. C. j 
 He was twice in office— first as Solici- I

 Provincial Sec. As a literary man his 1 
 talents first attracted attention by his j 
 poems in LeCanadicn (Que.) from 18^8 ; 
 to 1841. Manyof these were afterwards 
 collected and republished in Le Rep. Nat. \ 
 (Mont.) He also contributed from 18 i 7 i

 lany published at (Mont.) From 18 il

 pondent of Le Courricr dcs Etats-i'nis^ j 
 (N. Y.) His lettei-s to that journal on 
 the political and other topics of the day 
 which engaged public attention in the '

 able comment. In 1856, he founded I 
 in connection with his department Le i

 Chisholme, David. A Can. jonrn. B. in 
 Rosshire, Scot., about 1796. D. at 
 Montreal, 24 Sept., 1842. He studied 
 for the legal profession. Emigrated 
 
 to Can. in 1822. Lord Dalhousie the 
 then Gov. Genl. whose particular and 
 confidential friend he was, conferred 
 upon him the office of Clk. of the 
 Peace for the District of Three Rivers. 
 For the remainder of this notice we 
 are indebted to the Gazette (Mont.), of 
 which he was ed. during the last 5 
 years of his life : 
 
 " Thoroughly versed in the constitutional 
 law and practice of his native land, and indi- 
 gnant at the bold assumptions and encroach- 
 ments of the House of Assembly, he volun- 
 teered fearlessly in defence of those institu- 
 tions, which he felt to be the birthright and 
 heirloom of every Briton, wherever British 
 rule prevails. To the cause of constitu- 
 tional government and British connection 
 his indefatigable jsen was ever devoted. He 
 nailed these colours to the mast, and stood 
 by them without fear, hesitation, or compro- 
 mise, to liis latest hour. The opposition of 
 a constant and incorruptible adversary, was 
 not forgotten by those, who felt no sim- 
 pathy w'ith his motives, and possessed not 
 the magnanimity to forgive the publicity of 
 their castigation. To the hostility of the 
 House of Assembly, may be clearly traced 
 and justly ascribed his destitution, in No- 
 vember, 1X36, of the office he held in tho 
 District of Three Rivers. From that period, 
 almost without interruption, Mr. Chisholnif 
 has continued to edit the Montreal Gazeitt. 
 His contributions to these columns have been 
 characterised by great and varied researcli, 
 b}"^ sound and uncompromising constitutional 
 principle, by the frank and fearless repudia- 
 tion of all speculative theories and new 
 fangled notions ; accompanied ever by the 
 most gentlemanly courtesy towards his con- 
 temporaries.''

 Mercantile pursuits in Halifax, subse- 
 quently proceeded to Can., and took 
 lip his residence at Quebec. He studied 
 for and was admitted as a mem. of the 
 bar. In course of time he entered 
 the Assem. of L. G. as mem. for 
 Gaspe. During the violent party con- 
 tests which for so long a period cha- 
 racterised the proceedings of that body 
 and which reached a crisis in the 
 rebel ion of 1837, Mr. C. was distin- 
 guished for the warmth and pertina- 
 city with which he upheld the Conser- 
 vative cause. Whether his political 
 conduct upon all occasions was justi- 
 fiable, or not, it drew down upon him 
 the especial animosity of the more 
 numerous party to which he was 
 opposed. In 1829, he was expelled 
 from the House for having by his 
 advice to the Governor, caused the 
 dismissal of a number of its members 
 from the Magistracy and other offices 
 held by them, in consequence of their 
 votes and speeches in Parliament. 
 His constituents triumphantly re-elect- 
 ed him, but on presenting himself to 
 
 take his seat he was again expelled, 
 and it w^as not until the Union of the 
 Provinces that he again sat in Parlia- 
 ment. In 1854 he was defeated by his 
 old constituency, and withdrew from 
 public life. Mr. C. was a regular con- 
 tributor to the Gazette (Que.) during

 chai-acters, for many years, of the House of 
 AssemVjly, before and after the Union. He 
 had many troubles with it in the old times, 
 and was more than once unjustly and harshly 
 dealt with by the old House of Assembly of 
 L. C, as he shews in these volumes. He 
 was yet a simple and single minded man, 
 with almost no guile, at times exhibiting 
 that particular kind of courage which led 
 him to butt his head against the stone wall 
 of superior power. He dressed quaintly — 
 in the style of a former generation ; and as 
 in his dress, so in his manners, he never 
 adapted himself to the times. He was a 
 man of great industry as these volumes show. 
 He was not the most polished of writers, nor 
 was his style that which was * most economi- 
 cal cf his readers time and attention.' But 
 as a repertory of old and curious facts, which 
 cannot elsewhere be so conveniently found, 
 concerning the history of Lower Canada, up 
 to the period of the Union, including the 
 troubles which culminated in the rebellion, 
 ]tfr. Christie's volumes are very valuable.

 " The descendant of U. E. loyalist and 
 connected by various ties of intermarriage 
 with other men who left their homes and 
 property and home ties for the sake of the 
 old flag — the son of one who served under 
 that flag here and elsewhere — and a gallant 
 and enthusiastic volunteer officer himself, 
 one of the first, if not the very first to don 
 the uniform when the force was organized 
 in Canada, Col. Coffin had many reasons 
 
 The fame of the men who fought our bat- 
 tles in 1812 15, has been too much neglected 
 among us. The story of the war has always 
 been told either too much from an English, 
 or regular service point of view, or from 
 that of our then American foes. Like an 
 old Mortality in modern soldierly and cav- 
 alier guise, Col. Coffin has been digging 
 out the moss which hid the inscriptions on 
 the tombstones of the men of 1812, here 
 and there adding a new tablet to honor the 
 name of a hero altogether unheeded and 
 forgotten, here and there freshening up the 
 inscription on the monuments already set 
 up in the grave yards of our memory. 
 Interspersed with the narrative of the war 
 are fragments of the family annals of the 
 U. E. Loyalists, and of the French Cana- 
 dian noblesse engaged in the conflict, lend- 
 ing an additional and personal interest to 
 the story. Of the American troops and offi- 
 cers, Col. Coffin speaks at once with the chi- 
 valry of a soldier, and the honesty of a his- 
 torian. The present volume brings his chro- 
 nicle down from the beginning of the war 
 to the latter j^art of 1813, including the 
 disaster of Moravian town in the West, and 
 the Chateauguay victory in the East. He 
 had traced the war from the capture of Mi- 
 
 chilmackinac by Roberts, and the skirmish 
 of Tarontee, where Mr. Cass earned his 
 renown — has told the story of the surrender 
 of Detroit, of the battles of Queenstown

 our fortunes in the far west seemed disas- 
 trous ; this victory in the East gave new 
 zeal and heart to Canadian resistance. Mr. 
 Coffin's personal sketches lend life and ani- 
 mation to the story, but the fault of the 
 book is, nevertheless, these too florid, and 
 too elaborately worked up biographical 
 episodes, leading us away from the current 
 of the narrative. And yet there are very 
 few of them we should care to spare from 
 the volume. — Gazette, (Mont.) 
 
 " Ce premier volume se tcrmine a la ba- 
 taille de Chateauguay, si courageusement 
 gagnee par les Canadiens lo 26 Octobre, 
 1813, et dont nous sommes si fiers. C'etait 
 alors au milieu de la guerre. 
 
 Ce premier volume nous fait vivementde- 
 sirer la publication du second, qui sera lo 
 dernier, croyons nous. C'est une ojuvre im- 
 portante, et qui sera lue avec interet et avec 
 plaisir. 
 
 L'auteur a puise dans beaucoup de docu- 
 ments encore inedits et dans la conversation 
 de quelques acteurs dans ce beau drame, 
 une foule de details precieux qui mettent 
 encore plus en relief les caracteres divers de 
 tous ceux qui ont figure dans cette guerre. 
 Ces details donnent a I'histoire I'attraitd'un 
 roman. Les noms de Brock, de Salaberry, 
 de Duchesnay, de Sheaffe, de McDonell, de 
 Rolette, de Tecumseh, et d'une foule d'au- 
 tres, ce presentent tour-a-tour aux lecteurs, 
 noms celebres, et qui seront repetes avec 
 admiration et avec orgueil tant que vivra la 
 race Canadienne. Cette admiration s'accroit 
 encore lorsqu'on pent, comme dans le livre 
 de M. Coffin, suivre jour par jour et pas a 
 pas, chacune de leurs actions, dans cette 
 lutte difficile qui a f\ut leur gloire et notre 
 salut." — J. A. N. Provkncheu : Eev. Can.

 sometime afterwai-ds commenced the publi-

 sometimes mistook coarseness for strength 
 of language. He was an excellent reporter,

 capacity, as the servant of the House. It

 Has studied the insects of Canada since 
 1844. In 1856, he took a prize at To- 
 ronto, for the best methodically ar- 
 ranged collection of insects. Since 
 that time his leisure has been devoted 
 in the investigation of the Geogra- 
 phical distribution of Coleoptera of 
 the temperate regions of North Ame- 
 rica. He compiled lists of this order 
 of insects, collected by himself at To- 
 ronto, which were pubhshed in the 
 Canadian Journal ; contributed several 
 miscellaneous articles on Entomology 
 to the Canadian Naturalist. In a late 
 number of the Naturalist he describes 
 eleven new species of Coleoptera, and 
 also a nev^^ moth of the genius Alypia 
 (Alypia Langtonii Couper). In the late 
 Transactions of the Lit. & His. Soc. 
 (Que.), Mr. C. published lists of Cole- 
 optera and Diptera taken at Quebec 
 and other parts of Lower Canada. He 
 was one of the earliest promoters of 
 this branch of Natural Science in Ca- 
 nada, one of the founders of the Quebec 
 Branch of the Entomological Soc. of 
 Canada, and for some years Assistant 
 Secy, of the former body.

 the earnest zeal these letters exhibit in favour 
 of a general and practical system of educa-

 two pillars on which an effective and useful

 "Renan, as a professor of Semitic langua- 
 ges, naturally exalts the object of liis stu- 
 dies ; the Indo-European stands next with 
 him. In one of his works he says : ' To ima- 
 gine a savage race speaking a Semitic or Indo- 
 Eurojoean language is a contradictory fiction 
 to which no one vei'sed in the laws of com- 
 parative philology and the general theory 
 of the human mind, will lend ];iimself.' The 
 discredit thus thrown on American langua- 
 ges has elicited this Canadian reply, defend- 
 ing the two great languages of Canada and 
 the Northern States — the Algonquin and 
 Iroquois — from the imputation of being dis- 
 cordant cries, variaVde or unphilosophic." —

 "The book now before us is one that di-;- 
 plays an amount of information on the suh- 
 ject of tlie Indian tongues rarely to be found 
 at this day — information which is conveyed 
 to the reader in a manner as clear as it is 
 concise. Our author enters upon hi;^; worJc 
 with tlie spirit and force of a philologist. 
 Wo learn from his preface that, some three 
 years ago, he published in Montreal a pam- 
 phlet in reply to some strictures of the 
 famous JI. Kenan, wlio had chosen to treat 
 the Indian languages in the erroneous and 
 flippant style he used with respect to other 
 
CUR 
 
 and higher subjects. This brochure attracted 
 considerable attention, and the author re- 
 ceived an urgent invitation from Paris to 
 lay before its men of learning fuller details 
 on the grammatical system of the Indian lan- 
 guages of America. The present work con- 
 stitutes an admirable complbnce with the 
 request. He says : ' Twenty years of a so- 
 journ among the Iroquois and Algonquins 
 iiave sufficed to give us some conception of 
 the idioms of these people: and we think we 
 can offer, with confidence and without pre- 
 sumption, this first work from the pen of a 
 poor Missionary, to men of learning in gene- 
 ral, and in particular to the Indianologists of 
 each continent.' 
 
 "The author informs us that it requires 
 eighteen characters to represent all the Al- 
 gonquin sounds — namely. A, B, C, D, E. G, H, 
 I, J, K M, N, O, P, S, T, 8, Z. Twelve charac- 
 ters suffice for the Iroquois language — name 
 ly, A, E, F, H, I, K, N, U, R, S, T, 8. ITie 
 character ' 8 ' is equivalent to the ou of the 
 French and our English w. In botli langua- 
 ges all the letters are pronounced, for there 
 are neither mutes nor quiescents. The * C ' 
 and 'G,' which in the principle languages 
 of Europe have a double articulation, have 
 only one in the Algonquin. The vowel 'E,' 
 has always the sound of the French £ (^ 
 fermi.) The 'C in Algonquin has the 
 soimd of *ch' in French, or 's.h' in Eng- 
 lish. The ' G ' islhardas in the Greek. The 
 
 * N.' Algonquin, at the end of a word, is not 
 nasal, but pronounced as in Latin, but it has 
 the French nasal sound when at the end of a 
 f^yllable that does not terminate a word. The 
 
 * N, ' Iroquois, at the end of a word or sylla- 
 ble, is always nasal. • • • • 
 
 " We must here draw to a close, and reit- 
 erate our opinion that this work displays a 
 thorough acquaintance with the Algonquin 
 and Indian languages, and is such a work as 
 will meet with favour from all who take an 
 interest in the study of philology.'" — Tran-

 for many years prior and up to his 
 death, ed. and prop, of The Patriot (Tor.), 
 then the leading Conservative jour- 
 nal in U. G. Of a strong and fervid 
 mind, he displayed indefatigable zeal as 
 a public writer in strengthening the tie 
 between Can. and the Mother Country ; 
 his efforts were unflinching to crush 
 every measure calculated to disturb the 
 harmony that should always exist be- 
 tween the Parent State and her depen- 
 dencies. Mr. D. was considered the most 
 vigorous public writer of his day in the 
 Upper Province — he was one of the 
 first to advocate a Confederation of all 
 the B. A. Colonies and his political 
 
 foresight has been strikingly evinced 
 in the fulfilment of many of his pre- 
 dictions. We close this brief and im- 
 perfect notice of this distinguished, 
 writer with the following tribute to his 
 worth, taken froma Toronto journal : — 
 
 " In the cause of his country, he was some- 
 times ardent to a degree which all his friends 
 could not approve. But those who knew 
 him best, were the most convinced of the 
 sincerity with which he declared his opinions 
 upon the public questions of the day. He 
 was an Englishman in heart and mind, as 
 well as by birth — was proud of his Saxon 
 lineage — was proud of British freedom, whicli 
 he considered the light of the world, and the 
 best adapted to carry forward the human 
 family from improvement to improvement in 
 all time to come. In private life he was 
 friendly, amiable and cheerful."

 side with old historic families. Ma- 
 ternal gnindfather for a long time heir 
 presumptive to the honours of the 
 ancient house of Glengarry. The 
 
 name originally Deasson. Studied for 
 Ch. of Rome at the Diocesan Seminary, 
 Paris, under the celebrated Abbe Frere, 
 who numbered amongst his pupils 
 Messrs. Gillis and Dupanloup, both 
 of whom afterwards became Bishops 
 in the Ch. Ordained Priest, 1835. 
 Was in Mission of Dumfries from 1835 
 to 1840 ; laboured from latter year till 
 some time afterwards in northern 
 missions of Edinbnrgh, and subse- 
 quently took up residence in that city. 
 For sometime before coming to Ca- 
 nada, in 1855, had separate charge of 
 the Counties of Fife, Kinross and 
 Clackmannan which he was forced to 
 resign owing to the overwhelming 
 nature of the duties connected there- 
 with. During all this time he was the 
 means of rendering much useful ser- 
 vice to the cause of his Ch. Since his 
 residence in Can. has had charge of 
 the parish of St. Andrew's (City of 
 Ottawa), but now preaches at the Ca- 
 thedral. Mr. D. is well known as a 
 lecturer on interesting and popular 
 topics ; nearly all his lectures have 
 appeared in the local journals after 
 their delivery. He has also contributed 
 various poetical pieces to the provin- 
 cial press, evincing much power and 
 beauty.

 " This is a very beautiful little work in 
 defence of religion, admirably agreeing ■with 
 its title, and suited to the purpose for which 
 it was written. Jt contains a picture of a 
 village in the North of P^rance which by the 
 disastrous events of the Revolution has 
 been deprived of the benefits of Religious 
 instruction for one whole generation, so that 
 the very name and knowledge of Religion 
 have died out amongst its peojile, and it is 
 treasured up in their memories only as an 
 unknown thing, a fit subject of laughter and 
 jeers. * • * jj^^.^ ^Yi\^ paiish is

 which he is at first welcomed, and then by 
 degrees vanquishes the irreligious prejudices 
 of his parishioners, until at last he has the 
 happiness of reforming his entire parish and 
 restoring it to faith and virtue. The prin- 
 cipal characters of the village are sketched 
 with sufficient distinctness to give a real 
 dramatic interest to the various turns of the 
 argument and to relieve it from the dryness 
 which is inseparable from a long train of 
 syllogisms. It is not merely a series of 
 logical arguments, but a succession of scenes 
 in which the reader is made to feel that the 
 considerations insisted on are not merely 
 true in themselves, but are adapted to the 
 spiritual condition of the persons to whom 
 they are addressed. We are thus not only 
 satisfied that the logic is sound, we under- 
 stand also how and why the village has been 
 compelled to j-ield to its cogency." — Fre-

 Dawson, John William, .V..4., LL.D.^ F.R.S.J 
 F.G.S. A Can. author and geologist. 
 Is Principal and Vice Chancellor of the 
 Univ. of McGill Coll. (Mont.) B. at 
 Pictou, N. S., 13 Oct. 1820. Is the son 
 of Scottish parents who had emigrated 
 to N. S., some years previous to his 
 birth. His father, Mr. James Dawson, 
 from 1835 until 1840, owned and con- 
 ducted a paper called The Bcc (Pictou.) 
 He received the primary portion of his 
 education at the sch. and coll. of Pictou 
 and completed it at the Univ. of Edin- 
 burgh, at which institution he directed 
 his attention chiefly to the study of 
 natural history and practical chemistry, 
 and received the degree of M. A. 
 During his residence at the Univ. he 
 contributed some papers on geological 
 subjects to the Edinburgh press. In 
 1842, having returned home on the 
 completion of his studies, he accom- 
 panied Sir Charles Lyell on his geo- 
 logical exploration of N. S., and as one 
 of the results of the experience he 
 gained on that expedition transmitted 
 several papei^s to the Geological Soc. 
 (Lon.), describing points of interest in 
 the geology of his native province. 
 Shortly afterwards the Govt, of N. S. 
 entrusted him with the direction of a 
 geological survey of some of the coal 
 fields of that Province. His report will 
 be found in the Journals of the Legislative

 Assembly, N. S. About this time he 
 delivered a course of lectures on 
 natural history at Dalhousie Coll. 
 (Hal.) In 1850 he was appointed to the 
 newly created office of Superintendent 
 of Education for N. S., which he held 
 for upwards of 3 years, during which 
 time he put in operation the new Sch. 
 Act, and otherwise laid the foundation 
 of tlie admirable system of sch. educa- 
 tion which obtains there. During the 
 second visit of Sir Charles Lyell to the 
 Province Dr. D. accompanied him to 
 the "South Joggins" section, and dis 
 covered therein the first reptilian 
 remains found in the live freestone of 
 Am. In 1853, he was appointed one of 
 the directors of the new Normal Sch. 
 (Hal.),aiui shortly afterwards was one 
 of a commission appointed to enquire 
 into the condition of King's Coll., 
 Fredericton. In 1855, Dr. D. was ap- 
 pointed to his present position as Prin- 
 cipal of the Univ. of McGill Coll. In 
 addition to his being a fellow of the 
 Royal and the Geological Societies 
 (Lou.), Dr. D. is also a corresponding 
 mem. of the Academy of Natural 
 Sciences, Philadelphia ; of the Am. 
 Academy of Arts and Sciences ; of the 
 Am. Philosophical Soc. ; of the Natural 
 History Soc. (Portland) ; of the Natural 
 History So('. (N. B.) ; of the Can. Insti- 
 tute : of the Natural History Soc. (Mont.) 
 (of which he has been several limes 
 President) ; and a Fellow of the Mont- 
 real Literary Club. 
 
 " In these seasons of intercolonial courtesy, 
 and with the pi'ospect of more intercolonial 
 intercourse, it is pleasing to note that the 
 Principal of one of our prominent Universities 
 represents a contribution, so to speak, by Nova 
 Scotia to Canada, the property of the former 
 Province by birth, and of the latter by adop- 
 tion. How thoroughly Principal Dawson has 
 adapted himself to his new home and his new 
 duties are matters of knowledge to many and 
 of observation to all. Shunning notoriety for 
 its own sake, he has found his pleasures in his 
 duty, — to the fuliilment of which duty, all his 
 energies, intellectual and physical, have, we 
 believe, been unceasingly devoted. College 
 work all day, and work enough too, such work 
 as wayward youth may not intermit, such work 
 as mature nianhood must not leave undone ; 
 close, exacting, continuous work, such as a 
 hurrying, progressive age requiies to be done, 
 and done speedily." — Fennixgs Taylor : Por-

 tant regions of the globe, which are now con- 
 tinually being furnished by the zeal and in- 
 telligence of local observers ; and which not 
 only serve to extend our knowledge of the 
 constitution of a given portion of the earth's 
 crust, and to point out the modes in which 
 that knowledge may be turned to practical 
 account, but also in many cases, as in the 
 present, furnish us with new and valuable 
 evidence, in ragard to problems of the highest 
 interest to the geological speculator." — West-

 " There is in especial one work of perma- 
 nent interest, — 'Acadian Geology, or an 
 Account of the Geological Structure and 
 Mineral Resources of Nova Scotia, ' by John 
 William Dawson, — which issued last year

 great intrinsic merits, and the circumstance 
 that it was written in a distant colony, we 
 ought to have noticed long ago, — that strik- 
 ingly shows how much may l)e effected in the 
 scientific walk by an ardent mind and a fresh 
 and active curiosity in even new and wild 
 countries, far from the sympathy and coun- 
 sel of minds engaged in similar jJursuits. 
 
 Mr. (now Professor) Dawson's volume has 
 not only high scientific merits, but also very 
 considerable literary ones. It is the work of 
 a man who has made himself a naturalist 
 and geologist, but who was previously a scho-

 "Dr. Dawson is certainly entitled to a! 
 prominent place among the scanty band of ' 
 combatants who are gifted with this rare 
 faculty of double vision. He is at once a 
 Geologist of no mean distinction, and a firm 
 believer in the inspiration of the Hebrew 
 Scriptures : a combination of which it has 
 been well observed, that were it more com- 
 monly to be met with, there would be more 
 faith on the eai-th and also more Philoso- 
 phy." — Literary Gazette, Gx)n.) 
 
 "We have read this volume with great 
 pleasure. There are some things in it with 
 which we do not agree, but every page bears 
 testunony to the substantial literary, scien- 
 tific and theological attainments of its author. 
 There are no attempts to look asquint at 
 any of the important topics discussed. Can- 
 dour, good sense and a fine Christian spirit, 
 happily distinguish Principal Dawson's work 
 from many which on both sides of the At- 
 lantic have been written on the same sub- 
 ject. We were aware of Dr. Dawson's ac- 
 compUshments as a Geologist, but we were 
 not prepared to accord to him that varied 
 learning, evidences of which are appai-ent in 
 this volume.'" — North British Eec. 
 
 "Whatever opinions maybe entertained 
 of the speculations which this volume con- 
 tains, there will, we are persuaded, be but 
 one opinion as to the thoroughness with 
 which its topics have been discussed, the 
 patient laV)our which has been bestowed on 
 every section, the eloquence with which 
 many of its truths are stated, and the wide 
 and accurate knowledge of contemporary 
 science which it manifests. Our author has 
 
 not given ^rude and ill-digested speculationi 
 to the world, or claimed the attention of his 
 fellows to that which he himself has not com- 
 pletely mastered, or regarding which he ha« 
 not something new and important to say." —

 " Amidst his many arduous duties con- 
 nected with the I niversity of McGill College, 
 Dr. J. W. Dawson has still foimd time to 
 devote attention to many points in Canadian 
 geology. His investigations into the charac- 
 ter of our Postrtertiary deposits have greatly 
 extended our knowledge of the subject; 
 while his study of the land plants of the 
 Devonian rocks of North America has given 
 a new interest to this series of deposits. He 
 was first incited to an examination of this 
 flora by the numerous specimens which he 
 foimd ready for examination in the collec- 
 tion of the survey fi-om the Gaspe sand- 
 stones : and the species found in Graspe 
 although few in nimiber. naturally suggested 
 inquiry into the vegetable remains of equiva- 
 lent rocks in other parts. Goeppert in his 
 memoir on the flora of the Silurian, Devonian 
 and Lower Carboniferous rocks of Europe 
 and America, enumerates in I860, fifty nine 
 species as known, in the Devonian series up 
 to that date. In 1859, D . Dawson described 
 six species from specimens collected by 
 himself, and by the Geological Survey, in 
 the Devonian rocks of Gaspe. In 1861, he 
 added fifteen other species from Perry, in 
 Maine, and from St. John, in New Brunswick. 
 In 1862, having had placed in his hands the 
 
DAW 
 
 97 
 
 DEB 
 
 collections of the New York Survey, and 
 those made by Messrs. Matthew &, Martt, at 
 St. John, in New Brunswick, he raised the 
 number of American species to sixty nine; 
 and in a paper read before the Geological 
 Society of London, in May, J 863, he has 
 added to these thirteen more, including two 
 from Gaspe ; making the whole number of 
 species in the Devonian flora of Eastern 
 North America eighty two, belonging to 
 thirty-five genera. Of these species eight 
 had i^reviously been recognised in Europe, 
 and about ten of them had been more or 
 less perfectly noticed or figured in reports 
 on Amei'ican Geology. On the subject of the 
 Post-tertiary deposits, we have availed our- 
 selves not only of Dr. Dawson's published 
 observations, but of various manuscript notes 
 which he has kindly placed in our hands. 
 In his investigations of these deposits. Dr. 
 Dawson has more than doubled the number 
 of species of invertebrate animals previously 
 known in them; and Mr. J. F. Whiteaves, so 
 well known as a naturalist, has kindly aided in 
 preparing a catalogue of these fossils." —

 De Bellefeuille, E. Lef. A French Can.

 nection with the press dates from 1859 
 when he commenced contributing to 
 UOrdre (Mont.) of which he eventually 
 became co-ed. In that journal in 
 1859-60 appeared his translation into 
 French of Madame Leprohon's tale of 
 Ida Beresford., and in 1861, his transla- 
 tion of the novel of the Manor House of 
 VUlcrai, by the same lady. This latter 
 translation also appeared in book form. 
 In 1859 Mr. DeB. in a discussion which 
 took place before the Cabinet de Lecture 
 (Mont.,) as to which of the four arts — 
 Eloquence, Poetry, Music and Painting 
 should be awarded pre-eminence, sus- 
 tained the art of Poetry ; his address 
 on the occasion appeared in UEcho and 
 drew from Le Courier du Canada the 
 following tribute : — 
 
 "As regards the advocate of Poetry we 
 had not up to this time any grounds for 
 believing him a poet ; we had always seen 
 him reposing in matters of fact, as the 
 columns of several journals shew ; but after 
 the tide of poetic eloquence which his mouth 
 as well as his pen has poured out on this 
 subject ; after the accents in turn, tender, 
 playful, energetic, noble and exalted, which 
 he has uttered from his soul, like a lyre which 
 produces every note, we are compelled to 
 acknowledge that if he busies himself with 
 everything else as well as he has done with 
 poetry, he does it with satisfaction as well as 
 with taste." 
 
 In 1864 he assisted in establishing 
 La Revue Canadienne (Mont.) of which 
 he has since been one of the directors. 
 For that periodical he has written a 
 considerable number of essays, &c.,-^ 
 one of which on the Code Civil du Bas 
 Canada was extended to some length 
 and displayed great legal acumen. Its 
 production had the effect of modifying 
 the proposed legislation of the Codifi-

 " I have read this work with the serious 
 attention merited by the subject of wliich the 
 writer treats and which interests so deeply 
 both religion and civil society. I am happy 
 that the tirst ciy of alarm that the press has 
 uttered upon tlus important subject, is found 
 in a publication only just commenced and 
 which holds out such brUliant hopes for the 
 future, and that this crj' has been made by 
 a young man of the world, by a young lawyer, j 
 by a young Canadian who belongs to one of ' 
 the most honomble families of our land. { 
 When one has one foot in the grave, he always 
 entertains high hopes for the future when he | 
 leaves behind him many young men deter- j 
 mined to devote the talents which Divine 
 Providence has so hberally bestowed upon j 
 them, in defending all the principles of 1 
 reUgion and all the laws of the land which j 
 their fathers have bequeathed to them.'* — |

 "It is an important work which has re- i 
 quired great research, and which shows a ' 
 remarkable aptitude for the exposition and 
 discussion of the most abstract and subtle 
 points and questions. This work is a very j 
 striking evidence of the powerful studies I 
 which its author knows how to draw, as well j 
 as so many other literari' articles in L' Ordre \

 one careful of correctness and literary ele- ' 
 gance. Mr. DeB. loves philosophy and sound I 
 reasoning, but he is not exclusive and he 
 thinks that the beautiful has something to 
 do with the truth ; that they should go 
 hand in hand : that their alliance is of the 
 most legitimate and honorable nature and 
 that it never enters into the category of those 
 clandestine unions which he has so forcibly

 " This is an historical romance in which 
 many old legends and family traditions are 
 wrought into a connected story. The nara- 
 tive is enriclied by many graphic and pecu- 
 liarly interesting descriptions of the old man- 
 ners of the country ; and the denouement is, 
 we are assured, founded on fact. Many his- 
 torical anecdotes and documents are added 
 in the notes that accompany the work." —

 "■ A story illustrative, as its title imports, 
 of old Canadian manners. M. de Gaspe is, 
 as he tells us himself, a septuagenarian, born 
 only eight-and-twenty years after the con- 
 quest of La Nouvelle France, at a time when 
 the traditions and customs of the French I 
 settlers must have still been fresh. Tales of i 
 this character stereotype features wliich his- 
 tory cannot chronicle, and render a service ' 
 which in the absence of contemporary me- ' 
 7 
 
 moirs and literature, is not to be under- 
 valued. The narrative which is rather de- 
 signed as a vehicle for this pictorial object, 
 than directed to the excitement of any thril- 
 ling interest, is not wanting, however, in 
 spirit or movement. Much credit is due to 
 the translator. The work is rendered into 
 good flowing and easy English, and bespeaks 
 not only a j^erfect knowledge of both 
 tongues, seldom possessed by those who un- 
 dertake the task, but a power of thinking: 
 out the ideas of one tongue in another, still 
 more rare, combined with much freedom of 
 style and mastery of language.'" — Dublin

 " Ne le 30 Octobre, 1786, les souvenirs 
 personnels de M. de Gaspe embrassent une 
 periode de plus de soixante-dix ans, et sa 
 jeunesse s'etant ecoulee au mileu des temoins 
 occulaires de la conquete, il a ete a meme de 
 recueillir parmi eux les tristes mais glo- 
 rieuses traditions de cette epoque encore 
 obscure de notre histoire. Cela fait en tout 
 une periode d'un siecle entier, dans laquelle 
 Taimable chroniqueur a butine au courant 
 de la plume, racontant sa vie en y melant 
 celle de ses amis, et les recits de ses contem- 
 porains ; et cela avec une verve toute gau- 
 loise et une aisance parfaite. 
 
 Place par sa naissance aux premiers rangs 
 de la vieille aristocratie canadienne, qui, au 
 temps de sa jeunesse, prolongeait encore, 
 autour des gouverneurs anglais, 1' existence 
 de la cour vice-royale, il s'est nourri de ses 
 traditions, qui sontpour lui des traditions 
 de famille ; il a pris part a ses fetes, il a vu 
 passer et disparaitre tour a tour a ses c6tes 
 les illustrations du rang, de la beaute et du 
 talent qui faisaient I'ornement de cette fiere 
 et puissante societe du temps passe et il 
 s"est plu a les faire revivre dans ses Me- 
 moires. 
 
 Observateur fin et delicat, il a su faire un 
 choix judicieux parmi les materiaux sans 
 nombre qui ont du se presenter a son sou- 
 venir. Ce qui fait bien souvent le succes des 
 memoires, ce sont les revelations scanda- 
 leuses, les medisances bien appretees ; mais 
 je vous defie d'en trouver une seule dans le 
 livre de M. De Gaspe ; pour eviter de dire 
 du mal de ses contemporains, il n'a fait que 
 les portraits de ses amis, et il les a points 
 avec la touchante memoire du cosur," —

 •'Though addressed to the volunteers of 
 Canada it would be well if our citizen soldiers 
 became acquainted with the contents of this 
 admirable compilation. Major Denison has 
 sought for his information from the best 
 authorities, and has spared no pains to make 
 his manual complete, and of a practical 
 character. The gallant gentleman's indus- 
 try, combined with his lucid style, has pro- 
 duced a work of higher merit than its mo- 
 dest appearance would lead one to suppose. 
 The subject is discussed in two parts : Part 
 one dealing with the question of Outpost 
 Duty, and the remaining part treating of the 
 Defence of Uuti^osts. Major Denison is not 
 content with giving instruction to one 
 branch of the service, his manual being ap- 
 plicable to both cavalry and infantry ; in- 
 deed, the duties of sentries are treated at 
 some length, but not more than their imjaor- 
 tance justices. Chapters in the first section 
 of the book are devoted to formation of 
 chain of outposts, posting videttes and sen- 
 tries and their duties, patrols and relieving 
 outposts, picquets, &c., while part second 
 contains general principles of defensive 
 works, plan of temporary works, details of 
 execution, obstruction and defence of build- 
 ings, villages and bridges. By those members 
 of our volunteer force who are not satisfied 
 with merely becoming acquainted with rou- 
 tine drill. Major Denison' s Manual of Out- 
 post Duties will be read and studied with 
 jjleasure.'" — Public Opinion, (Lon.)

 tributed some articles to the P'rench 
 Can. newspaper press which attracted 
 attention, and established his reputa- 
 tion as a public writer. His regular 
 connection with the press commenced, 
 in 1851 as ed, of the Melanges Ikligiciix 
 (Mont.) to which he had previously 
 been a contributor. Lc Canadicn in 
 noticing his appointment spoke of him 
 as " a man of rare information and 
 talents," and that he " wrote French 
 with an elegance and a purity uncom- 
 mon to this country." The office of 
 the Melanges Religicux having been des- 
 troyed by fire in 1852, the paper was 
 discontinued. In 1854 he succeeded the 
 late Mr. Ronald Macdonald as ed. of 
 Le Canadien, (Que.,) then the organ of 
 the Hincks-Morin Administration. In 
 1857 he terminated his journalistic 
 career and accepted the office of Pro- 
 thonotary and Clk. of the Crown and 
 Peace for the District of Rimouski, a 
 position which he still holds. Mr. D. 
 held a high place as a political writer ; 
 he was something more than the ordi- 
 nary Can. Ed.; he was no time-server 
 and sycophant, approving of every act 
 of the party whose general policy he 
 supported. He wrote purely from con-

 viction and did not fail to record his 
 disapproval when his moral scruples 
 would not allow him to do otherwise. 
 In style he is clear, forcible and elo- 
 quent, displaying at the same time a 
 perfect knowledge and command of his 
 native language. Very general regret 
 was manifested by his confreres of the 
 newspaper press at the termination of 
 his connection with it. La Patrie, 
 (Mont.,) said : 
 
 '• We say adieu to a man whose character 
 and talents have honored the Canadian press.

 taste devoted to the principles of order of

 occurred after a few years residence 
 in London. His general abilities were 
 of a high order, and his literary attain- 
 ments varied and extensive. From the 
 same authority, {Proii. Mag.)\\e gather 
 that : 
 
 '' For many years of his life his mind was 
 deeply shadowed by melancholy. His poetry 
 is all of a serious naUire, more or less im- 
 bued with his own religious feelings ; we 
 consequently meet with but little variety of 
 sentiment and expression. He wrote vei-y 
 rarely, and then but to express some exqui- 
 site thought of the moment, connected with 
 the great subject to him of such vital im- 
 portance." 
 
 I)e Sola, Rev. Abhaham, LL D. Minister 
 Hebrew Cong., Prof, of Hebrew and 
 Oriental Literature, Univ. of McGill 
 
 DES 
 
 Coll. (Mont.) B. in London, Eng. His 
 father, the late Rev. D. A. De Sola, 
 one of the most learned of modern 
 Hebrew divines, was author of several 
 valuable works, well known toBibhcal 
 scholars, chief of which was, perhaps, 
 his new translation of the Scriptures, 
 wdth a copious and learned commen- 
 tary. Dr. De S. had the advantage of 
 the partial supervision of his emment 
 father in his oriental studies which he 
 also pursued under the celebrated Dr. 
 Loewe, orientalist to the Duke of Sussex 
 and oriental examiner to the Royal Col- 
 lege of Preceptors. Without neglecting 
 his classical and other studies, he dis- 
 played at a very early age a decided 
 preference for oriental literature, re- 
 ceiving a special diploma for his pro- 
 gress therein. His taste for science 
 and abstruse study led him to master 
 some of the modern languages also. 
 This taste was, no doubt, promoted 
 by the circumstance that his father 
 possessed an extensive and valuable 
 library, more especially in his favorite 
 department, was himself a great lin- 
 guist and close reader, and was con- 
 stantly receiving at his house, the visits 
 of eminent literati It was probably 
 from the latter circumstance, chiefly, 
 that the reputation of Dr. De S. extended 
 most favourably, so that eulogistic 
 notices of him appear in various 
 literary journals before he had attained 
 his twentieth year, before which 
 period, also, he had received some very 
 flattering calls to fill honourable a[- 
 pointments, among them, was the 
 charge of the Montreal Hebrew Con- 
 gregation, which he accepted. Prior 
 to his departure for Montreal, however, 
 he had been rather actively employed 
 in the literary world around him. He 
 had been for some time co-editor of 
 The Voice of Jacob with Dr. Benisch; 
 and while he assisted his father in 
 his official duties, lectured at various 
 establishments on the Semitic lan- 
 guages. Biblical Antiquities, ike. He 
 had also been actively employed in 
 aiding various literary institutions in 
 the metropolis, especially, in assisting 
 to found the Sussex Hall Literary Insti- 
 tution, of which he remained one of 
 the Directors until he left Eng. He 
 arrived in Montreal Jany. 1847, and 
 although his time was necessarilv

 chiefly devoted to his official duties, 
 he stiil found leisure to contribute to 
 various magazines in the U. ?., and 
 during the same winter he gave one of 
 the course of lectures at the Mercantile 
 Library Association. Thereafter he 
 was called upon by that Association 
 aud the Mechanics" Institute every 
 succeeding winter, while they con- 
 tinued to give a course, and he always 
 acceded to the request of these insti- 
 tutions, the Literary Chib, and some 
 institutions in sister cities, when his 
 leisure permitted him. His desire to 
 promote the study of Natural Science 
 led him to devote himself very zeal- 
 ously to the Natural History Society, 
 then in a languishing and all but dying 
 state. By warmly interesting himself 
 in it, and inducing others to do so, he 
 assisted greatly to promote its interests 
 and vitality. The reports of the society 
 show that besides an occasional address 
 at its convei"saziones he has lectured 
 on '' The Cosmogony;'^ '^ The Ancient 
 Hebreus as promoters of the arts and 
 sciences ;" "■ The Zoology of the Scrip- 
 tures;'' '' The Botany of the Scriptures" 
 and kindred topics. In 1848 he was 
 appointed Prof, of Hebrew and Oriental 
 Literature in the Univ. of McGill 
 College ; the press of the Province 
 universally applauding the fitness of 
 the appointment. But multifarious 
 official duties have not prevented Dr. 
 De S. from wielding a most industrious 
 pen. In 1850 he wrote, by request, 
 for the British American Journal of 
 Medical and Physical Science^ a series of 
 articles '' On the employment of Anaesthe- 
 tics in Midwifei-y" the popular objections 
 to their use being, at that time, very 
 rife. He also wrote in consecutive 
 numbers of the same Mag. a notice of 
 Dr. Dawson's '•^ Archaia."" In 185*2 he 
 contributed to the '' Canada Medical 
 Journ.' a series of articles which were 
 published regularly as long as the 
 Mag. appeared, on '' The Sanatory Insti- 
 tutions of the Hehreics.'' These learned 
 papei"s attracted very general attention 
 and were reproduced by the Dublin 
 Medical Journal " and some other scien- 
 tific journals, and the Jewish periodi- 
 cals. They were criticised most 
 favorably by the press, even where 
 writei's differed from him. Dr. DeSola 
 has also published the following : — ''A 
 
 Selection. of Sermons^ Addresses and Rr- 
 vieivsT '• Hebrew Authors and their Opp' 
 nents ;" " An Inquiry into the Early Settl- 
 ment of the Jews in England;" '■'■ Thr

 brew grammatical work), Hanagids 
 " Introduction to the Talmud" and '•^The 
 Jewish Calendar " published in N. Y. & 
 Montreal. He has also published a 
 couple of religious educational books 
 and some occasional pieces ^^Titten in 
 Hebrew and other languages. Besides 
 his literary activity. Dr. De S. has uni- 
 formly identified himself with every 
 movement calculated to jtromote the 
 intellectual advancement of the com- 
 munity in which he lives. He has 
 been elected honorary member of 
 various literary and scientific societies 
 both in Europe and America : aud the 
 good will of his friends, both around 
 him aud abroad, has made him the 
 recipieut of several presentations and 
 testimonials of a valuable and flattering 
 character. For the above, we have 
 been indebted to some biographical 
 notices of Dr. De S. contained in the 
 '■'■ Hebrxische Btbliographie" of Dr. M. 
 Steinschneider in Berlin, the Tijdschrift 
 in Amsterdam, Holland; the Hebrew 
 Observer and Chronicle^ London, Eng- 
 land : the Occident in Philadelphia, and 
 other publications. We conclude with 
 the following from a Canadian writer: 
 
 " The Eev. Doctor is a gentleman of high 
 intellectual powers combined with that 
 bearing and open urbanity of manner, which, 
 whenever it appears, is sure to elicit profound 
 respect and at the same time to attract the 
 highest esteem. Of consistent and hberal 
 views which, however, he never obtrudes, he 
 commands the confidence and respect of 
 other religious denominations, and has 
 obtained the warm friendship of many of 
 their leading clergy. Indeed, there are few 
 of the professional men of Montreal who are 
 more extensively or more favorably known, 
 or who centre in themselves more true 
 humility combined with sound scholarship."

 Ed. at his native place He early gave 
 his attention to politics, and in 1818 in 
 conjunction with Mr. P. Blanchet and 
 one or two other gentlemen of advan- 
 ced political views estahlished LWvcnir^ 
 (Mont.) newspaper, which, while it 
 lasted, was held as the most uncom- 
 promising organ of the Rouge party in 
 L. C. Some years before his death he 
 established another journal L; Dcfri- 
 cheur^ at L'Avenir, L. C, a village 
 which he had founded and settled, and 
 named after his first paper. This 
 journal was started mainly for the pur- 
 pose of promoting colonization amongst 
 the French Can. rural population, 
 many of whom he induced to leave the 
 parishes along the St. Lawrence, and 
 settle on the more fertile lands in the 
 Eastern Townships. Mr. D. was one 
 of the most forcible writers on the 
 Rouge press. He held the presidency of 
 the Inslilul Canadicn (Mont.) for 3 years. 
 He sat in the Leg. Assem. Can. from 
 1854, until 1857, and again from 18G1 
 until the close of the last Parliament. 
 He excelled as a stump orator, and 
 during his time rendered very useful 
 service to his party.

 nection with the mode of admission to 
 the Bar, with the view of preventing 
 the overcrowding of the profession 
 with useless and sometimes unworthy 
 members. A large number of students 
 feeling that such measures would pre- 
 vent their admission to the Bar, 
 attacked Mr. D. with more than ordi- 
 nary impetuosity. On the 4 May, 
 1866, still persevering in his project of 
 reform, he submitted to a meeting of 
 the members of the Bar (Mont.), a series 
 of resolutions proposing amendments 
 to the Law concerning the Bar. These 
 resolutions were referred to a special 
 committee, of which he was one as 
 Secy. They were favorably reported 
 on by that committee who submitted a 
 Bill intended to be su' stituted for the 
 law then in force. That Bill was trans- 
 mitted to all the sections of the Bar 
 and approved by them, and Mr. D was 
 deputed to the seat of government with 
 the view of promoting the passage of 
 a law which embodied all his sugges- 
 tions. Finally on the loth Augt.. 1866, 
 the new law was sanctioned with cer- 
 tain amendments which, however, did 
 not affect the principal changes pro- 
 posed. Since then the general council 
 of the Bar of L. C, composed of all 
 the Batonniers of the several sections, 
 has appointed him their Secy., an office 
 which also gives him a seat in the 
 General Council. Thus ended the 
 agitation for reforms which appeared 
 impracticable when he was merely a 
 student. The stringent examinations 
 for admission to the Bar have since 
 had their effect, the admissions being 
 less numerous, which may lead one to 
 hope that the legal profession will not 
 be so over-crowded as formerly. 
 
 Having been a mem. of the Inslilut 
 Canadicn since 1858, he successively 
 performed the duties of Recording 
 Secy., Treasurer, Corresponding Secy, 
 and Secy, of the Dept. of the Museum, 
 which, under his management, has 
 been much enlarged. The Institut was 
 favored with valuable donations from 
 several Govts, of Europe and of this 
 continent. As Corresponding Secy, 
 he had an agent appointed at Paris to 
 communicate with H. I. H. Prince 
 Napoleon, one of the patrons of the 
 Institut, and with the scientific institu- 
 tions of France. Since the appointment 
 
 of this agent the communications 
 between the Inslilut Canadicn and 
 France have become regular and have 
 produced important results for the 
 Institut. Mr. D. has delivered several 
 lectures under the patronage of the 
 Institut and the Law Soc. Several of 
 his lectures have been published by the 
 press, some in i? Pays. One On th>' 
 Principle of Nationalities led to a lively 
 discussion among the French papers 
 in L. C, and was printed in pamphlet 
 form. Mr. D. has, at different periods, 
 written in L? Pays upon various sub- 
 jects, more particularly upon the ad- 
 ministration of justice, the mode of 
 admission to the Bar, on the abolition 
 of capital punishment, monomania, 
 numismatics, the Institut Canadien, and 
 the Law Institute.

 menced his connection with the press 
 as a contributor to Lcs Mclawjes Reli- 
 (jieux (Mont.), the subject of his first 
 essay being a pointed attack on Sir 
 Chas. Metcalfe, the then Gov. Gen. Li 
 1844 he wrote for UAurore dcs Canadas. 
 and in 1848, having attached himself 
 in politics to the side of Mr. L. J. Papi 
 neau, he laboured long and earnestly 
 on behalf of the Liberal party through 
 the columns of UAvcnirihen the organ 
 of Mr. P. Some biographical sketches 
 of leading public men which appeared 
 in that paper are from his pen. He 
 took an active part in the establish- 
 ment of Le Pays (Mont.), and for a 
 long period lent to the new journal 
 his powerful aid in its ed. columns. 
 Mr. D. has baen a contributor to near- 
 ly every Liberal journal published 
 in the French language in L. C, and 
 there can be no doubt that he has 
 rendered very material assistance as 
 a journ. to the Liberal cause. He 
 has also written for Le Courrier dcs 
 E'.ats Unis and the Tribune (N. Y.), and 
 for the Lower Canada Jurist (Mont.) In 
 1852 he was elected President of L Ins- 
 titut Canadicn (Mont.), and did mucii 
 while he held that office towards 
 infusing new life and vigour into the 
 operations of the Institution. It was 
 through his efforts that it became an in- 
 corporated body, and that the splendid

 additions to its library, ^c, from the 
 Imperial collections in France were 
 obtained. He has delivered many 
 lectures and addresses before the Ins- 
 titut. We append a list of his more 
 purely literary efforts. Of late he has 
 devoted himself almost exclusively to 
 his profession as an advocate, and in 
 18G6 was counsel for the celebrated 
 E. T. Lamirande, the defaulting cashier 
 of the Bank of France, at Poictiers.

 ete nomme Magistrat pour la Ville de Mont-

 il ne fut pas longtemps sans se trouver en- 
 gage vis-a-vis les Magistrats, ses collegues, 
 dans une serie de querelles et de haines qui 
 eurent leur origine dans Tabsolutisme du 
 gouvernement d'alors : pouvoir qui est fre- 
 quemment mis en jeu dans des circonstances 
 analogues. M. Du Calvet fut finalement em- 
 prisonne a Quebec, comme favorisant les 
 
 Bostonnais, pendant deux ans et huit mois, 
 qui tinirent le 2 Mai, 1784. Apres son elar- 
 gissement il se rendit en Angleterre, poiir 
 obtenir justice contre le Gouverneur. Son 
 ouvrage contient quelques Documents inte- 
 ressants relativement aux epoques qui pre- 
 cederent I'etablissement d'lme Constitution 
 Representative, dans le Bas Canada, dont M. 
 Dm Calvet etait un aussi ardent partisan, qu'il 
 etait vigoureusement oppose a TActe, com- 
 munement appele le Bill de Quebec de 1774. 
 Le tableau que M. Du Calvet lui meme nous

 near Montreal, 28 June, 1848. Came 
 
 to Can. in 1826, with Mr. John Gait, 
 in the service of the Canada Company, 
 which Mr. G. had succeeded in forming 
 in London, and continued a resident 
 of the Province during the remainder 
 of his life. After taking up his resi- 
 dence in Can. he resumed his contri 
 butions to Blackwood's Magazine., and 
 among other things wrote '' The Autn- 
 biography of a Rat.,'' for that populai- 
 periodical. He was also a frequent 
 contributor to the native literary and 
 political press — among the former class 
 to the Canadian Literary Magazine (York' 
 and the Literary Garland (Mont.) lb- 
 founded in 1836 the City of Toronto 
 Literary Club, before which he lecturf d 
 on various subjects of interest. In 
 1841 he was elected to the Can. Par- 
 liament as member for the County of 
 Huron, which he continued to repre- 
 sent until he resigned in 1846. For 
 the following sketch of the early career 
 of this very able and gifted man we 
 are indebted to Frascr's Magazine (Vol. 
 V.) Vol. VII. of the same periodical 
 contains an admirable likeness of the 
 subject of this notice : 
 
 " But leaving questions of pedigree to 
 heralds, we find Dunlop a surgeon in the 
 Connaught Rangers in early life, and, as he 
 mentions in this little book, actively engaged 
 in the campaigns of 1813, 1814, and 1815, 
 against the Yankees, in what was then 
 generally kno\vn by the name of Mr. Madi- 
 son's war. Forgotten, out of America, as the 
 battles of that war are now-a days, there was 
 some hard partizan fighting, in which the 
 doctor, laying down the lancet for the 
 bayonet, and inflicting wounds instead of 
 curing them, played no conspicuous part. 
 Peace being proclaimed, and the treaty of 
 Ghent (which, as he observed, ' came upon 
 them suddenly,' and, we may add, much to 
 their grief.) having put an end to American 
 campaigning, he went with his regiment to 
 Calcutta, exchanging the blanket coat for 
 the musl'n jacket, and using brandy and 
 water to keep out the intense heat of India 
 with as much activity as he had formerly 
 employed it to keep off the intense cold of 
 Canada. Manifold were his occupations in 
 the land of the Moguls. In addition to his 
 me<lical and military duties — his convivial 
 and charioteering occupations, he edited a 
 newspaper, and contracted to clear the island 
 of Saugur, falling with equal fui-y upon Silk 
 Buckingham and the tigers. After having 
 killed some incredible quantity of the latter 
 nuisances (whence, and not from any resem- 
 blance to that king of cats, he has the name of 
 Tiger.) the jungle fever subdued him, and he 
 
DUX

 DUP 
 
 was obliged to come home on lialf-pay, ' one 
 of the cankers of a cahn world,' as Pierre 
 expresses it. He fixed first in Edinburgh, 
 where lie gave a coui'se of lectures on medical 
 jurisprudence, the mixture in which of fun 
 and learning, of law and science, Mended 
 with rough jokes, and anecdotes not always 
 of the most prudish nature, will make them 
 long live in the memories of his hearers. He 
 also wrote sketches of Indian life, and other 
 papers for Blackwood, under the signature of 
 Colin Ballantyne, R. N., a nom de guerre under 
 which, we believe, he figured hi India during 
 his controversies with Buckingham, whom 
 he ever and anon delighted in calling the 
 cobbler. Tired, however, as we suppose 
 everybody must be of Edinburgh, he came 
 to London, having for his compuynon de voyage 
 the future editor of the Quarterly Eevieio. 
 He here lived a roost miscellaneous life, 
 turning his hand to everything. He edited, 
 for a short while, the British Press, a journal 
 now gone to sleep : but could not like the 
 business of a morning paper, as it interfered 
 too much with other occupations of a more 
 agreeable kind. He never suflered the com- 
 position of ' leaders ' to interfere with the 
 composition of works of a more fluent kind, 
 and, accordingly, the British Press sometimes 
 appeared sadly shorn of its ' leads.' The 
 accession of M. de Villele to power occurred 
 during the time of the Tiger's editorship, and 
 we need hardly say it was one of the most 
 important events that had happened since 
 the restoration of the Bourbons. The news 
 arrived in London at night, and all the other 
 newspapers were next morning full of re- 
 marks on the event, written with the sharpest 
 acumen, the deepest knowledge, the pro- 
 foundest political sagacity — in short, with 
 all the magnificence of talent that usually 
 adorns the best public instructors, and at 
 wondrous length. The Antigallican Doctor, 
 being, in all probability, more interested in 
 the affairs of Jamaica than in those of France, 
 dismissed the whole concern in a whiff: ' We 
 perceive ' said he, ' that there is a change of 
 ministry in France ; — we have heard of no 
 earthquakes in consequence.' Not another 
 word ! Beyond question, it was treating the 
 matter most philosophically, and, uideed, as 
 all political aftairs ought to be treated by 
 men of sense ; but it suited not the views of 
 the proprietors of the paper. Some imper- 
 tinence was attempted, which, of course, was 
 out of the question with Dunlop, and he left 
 the concern. 
 
 "He then published an edition of Beck's 
 Medical Jurisprudence, an American work, to 
 which he wrote a preface, and appended 
 many curious notes ; and started a Sunday 
 newspaper for the India interest, intitled 
 the Telescope, the history of which would be 
 a comedy of the drollest kind. It did not 
 succeed badly, but at the end of a year he 
 was tired of it ; and having become coniiected 
 
 with the joint stocks of those days — our his- 
 tory has now reached the famous year of 
 1825 — he figured in Brick, Iron, Salt, and 
 other companies, as secretary or director. 
 He personally superintended the salt works 
 of this last named company somewhere in 
 Cheshire ; but as Tiger is an honest fellow — 
 a strictly honest fellow, in every sense of the 
 word — it is perfectly unnecessary for us to 
 add that he made nothing of the l)ubbles, 
 except what salary he may have received. 
 The future biographer of Dunlop will have 
 to recount that at this time he founded a 
 club of a most peculiar descrijition, which 
 he called by the i»i<^turesque title of ' The 
 Pig and Whistle ; ' but the time is not yet 
 ripe for the history of that celebrated asso- 
 ciation."

 ''A pleasanter little book never came out

 woods that have seen generation after gene- 
 ration of men pass away into the ocean of 
 eternity, as Niagara dashes into the gulf 
 below ; and pleasant does that voice burst 
 upon our ears, even as the voice of a friend 
 whom we thought we had lost for ever. We

 distinguished himself in every depart-

 studies about 1846, and was for somi; 
 years min. of the Baptist Ch., (Frederic- 
 ton.) From a well-written and elo- 
 quent notice of him in the Provincial 
 Magazine, (Hal.,) we extract the fol- 
 lowing : 
 
 "As he had made choice of the ministry as 
 a profession, theology in a great measure 
 usurped the place of lighter mattei% and 
 afforded but Uttle time for poetical indul- 
 gence, but his mind was so active, that dur- 
 ing his college life he found leisure to weave 
 together chaste and beautiful ide^s in smooth 
 and elegant version. He contributed a large

 number of poems to the journal in connec- 
 tion with his denomination, above the signa- 
 ture of L. R., and though all were more or 
 less imbued with the same spirit of religious 
 fervour, they possessed strong originality 
 and a command of language rarely equalled 
 in one so young in literarj- piusuits. • • • 
 The most elaborate and lengthy poems of i£r. 
 Elder that have come mider our notice, are 
 those entitlecL ' External naiure coloxired hy 
 ike SouTs oitn Emotions,' and • The Expulsion 
 of the Acadians from their Xatire LandJ' both 
 written for and delivered at anniversarj- 
 meetings of Acadia College."

 devoted himself principally to jour- 
 nalism, being the ed. of the Colonial 
 Presbyterian and of the Morning Journal 
 (St. John, N. B.) The latter has only 
 recently been established; both jour- 
 nals have taken a high place amongst

 worthier or more patriotic men than he, few 
 more diligent in the promotion, to the utter-

 his endeavor for many years past to raise the 
 standard of agriculture in Lower Canada from 
 the position to which it had sunk, to teach 
 and to lead the way in a system by which 
 the worn out farms of the long settled dis- 
 tricts might recover their fertility, and farm-

 in profitableness that of the west. Nor have

 '' According to the custom of the Congre- 
 gation of St. Sulpice of wliich he (LAbbe 
 Faillon) is a distinguished member, he has 
 published anonjonously the various works 
 which have already made him kno^vn and 
 esteemed by liistorical writers as a histo- 
 rian of great industry, extensive research, as 
 well as vigorous and original views. Montreal 
 is especially the subject of his labore; his 
 previous works, * * * all illusti-ating the his- 
 tor\- of Montreal, by giving the chronicle of 
 its most venemblH institutions. In his his- 
 tory he develops the history of that city, on 
 which previous historians have been less am- 
 ple in detail, the Sulpitians having j^rinted 
 very little touching that city, and the Jesuit 
 Relations, those annual volumes on Canada, 
 scarcely alluding to Montreal, no Fathers oJF 
 their society being stationed there, whose 
 reports would have been a sort of chronicle. 
 A Sulpituin. Mr. Dolher de Casson, wrote a 
 history of Montreal down to 1672, but it has 
 
 not been published and was not apparently 
 used by Charlevoix or earlier writers. This 
 atfoifls Mr. Faillon a comparatively new field 
 of labor, and his work will thus be a most 
 valuable contribution to Canadian historj-. 
 It is most creditable to the historical taste of 
 that province that is has produced within so 
 brief a periofl three so unportant histories as 
 those of Messrs. Gameau, Ferland and 
 Faillon. 
 
 " At the close of his first volume, tmder tlie 
 unpretending titles of Notes, Mr. Faillon 
 gives several very interesting discussions of 
 debated questions on Cartier, the place of 
 his wintering, the language of the people of 
 Hochelaga and Stadacona, the family of J 
 Champlain, kc.''—Am. His. Mag. (N. Y.) |

 and held the office of Secy, to the army 
 under the Marquis DuQuesne. He 
 received the primary portion of lii> 
 education from a Scotch schoolm. in 
 his native city, but he was indebted tn 
 his own unaided exertions for the chief 
 portion of his learning. Having stn- 
 died law he was admitted to the prac-

 the war with the IJ. S., in 1812, li.' 
 served in the ranks of the Can. Militia 
 against the enemy. In 1822, he en- 
 tered the service ot the Leg. Assem. of 
 L. C. first as one of the staff of extr.t 
 writers and was promoted throu^li 
 various grades until he finally becamr 
 Asst. Clerk to the House \n 1832, ;i

 which is still regarded as an authority 
 by Am. bibliographists. It was while 
 engaged in making the collection of 
 works relating to the early history of 
 Am. and Can. for the Can. Parlia- 
 mentary Library, which unfortunately 
 was destroyed by fire in 1849, that he 
 obtained the materials for that useful 
 work. In 1851 he was appointed by 
 the Leg. Assem. to proceed to Europe 
 to make a second collection for the 
 Library, to replace that which had been 
 destroyed, in which mission he was 
 eminently successful. He was one of 
 the original founders and for some 
 time President of the Lit.andHis. Soc. 
 (Que.,) under the auspices of which 
 body many important documents and 
 manuscri[)ts relating to the early his- 
 tory of Can. were reproduced, ed. by 
 Mr. F. A list of these is given below. 
 In acknowledgment of his services to 
 the Soc. and the cause of Can. history 
 and literature generally the Soc. have 
 had his portrait painted and hung up 
 in their library. Before his death Mr. 
 F. presented his large and valuable 
 collection of manuscripts, maps and 
 plans, and his private library, which 
 contained many rare and interesting 
 works on our early history, to the 
 Laval Univ. where they now are. A 
 portrait of him w^as also painted for the 
 hall of that institution, by order of the 
 Univ. authorities. In 1859, being the 
 100th anniversary of the conquest of 
 Quebec and the death of Wolfe and 
 Montcalm, the generals of the Eng. and 
 French armies engaged in the battle, 
 Mr. F. succeeded in having placed ov^er 
 the last resting place of the French 
 general, a suitable monument to his 
 memory, which contains an appro- 
 priate inscription.

 Rich called attention to the work in 1846, it 
 
 was but little known beyond the confines of 
 Canada ; and M. Ludewig, who first saw a 
 copy of it in the library of Mr. J. Sparks, of 
 Cambridge. Mass.. could not meet with one 
 for sale in the United States ; but had no 
 diflSculty in obtiining the work on applica-

 notes to the more important articles ; and 
 thovigh, as regards those of earlier date, 
 there is but little added to our former stock 
 of information, still what is said is to the 
 point ; whilst, as regards those of more re-

 " To the Agricultural emigrant, we can

 gusson's book :— unambitious in style, it is 
 level in every capacity ; strong in its collec-

 general reflections, it is admirably calculated 
 to direct the steps of the enterprising capa- 
 talist, in common with the humble artizan or

 but unconquerable energy and perseverance. 
 Some authors think it necessary for the pur- 
 pose of ingratiating themselves and their 
 subject with their readers, to represent everj' 
 thing en couleur de rose ; but Mr. Fergusson 
 has neither erred in this way, nor has he 
 dwelt, like some croakers we wot of, upon 
 the desagr^ments attendant upon a removal 
 from thickly peopled and well cultivated 
 England to the isolation and wildness of a 
 Canadian forest. Having travelled with the 
 intention of settling in the Upper Province, 
 the author was necessitated, for his own 
 sake, to examine with minuteness and cir- 
 cumspection, everything of importance or 
 value, and of the results of this, the reader 
 reaps the full benefit."— G'aze^^e, (Mont.)

 ed. under the care of M. Gaulin, after- 
 wards Bishop of that diocese, who, per- 
 ceiving his growing talents secured 
 his enli-ance into the Coll. of Nicolet. 
 Here he attracted the notice of Bish. 
 Plessis, and shortly after the comple- 
 tion of his studies he was apptd. Secy, 
 to the Bish. Relinquishing that im- 
 portant office subsequently, he became 
 Prof, of Arts. Rhetoric and Philosophy 
 at Nicolet. In 1828 he was admitted 
 to the priesthood, and upon the day of 
 liis admission was appointed Vicar of 
 Quebec. He exercised the ministry 
 subsequently at Riviere du Loup, Sl 
 Roch de Quebec, St. Isidore, Si. Foye, 
 St. Anne de Beaupre and St. Fereol. 
 In 1834, during the cholera which 
 then prevailed, he was Chaplain to the 
 Marine and Emigrant Hospital. (Que.) 
 In 1841 he returned to Nicolet as 
 Supdt. of Studies, and in 1848 succeeded 
 as Superior of that institution. From 
 1850 he was attached to the Cathedral 
 of Quebec, was mem. of the Bishop's

 sacrifice of the slightest duty, or what a sen- 
 sitive conscience could consider as such. 
 Being very methodical, his day was distri-

 Regi-ttres,"' opening the neglected field of 
 family history in Canada, and giving a most ' 
 interesting little sketch even to the general \ 
 reader. His ' Journal (Tun Voyage sur les 
 
 Cotes de la Gaspdsie,' appeared in 1861, and 
 an article bn ' Labradm;' published in the 
 Annals of the Association for the Propa- 
 gation, of Quebec, which he edited for some 
 years, was reprinted in a volume styled ' La 
 Litterature Canadienne.' These placed him 
 among the first Canadian wiiters, and are 
 remark.able for their charming style and 
 irresistible interest. 
 
 "His ^ Cours cT Histoire du Canada,' ' of 
 which the first volume appeared in 1861, 
 resulted from his series of lectures at the 
 University Laval. Appointed Professor in 
 the Faculty of Arts, June 10, 1855, and 
 elected Dean of the Faculty, March, 18, 
 1864, he had the honor of inaugurating the 
 public coui*ses of the University. From 1858 
 to 1862, he drew an attentive audience to 
 the lectures, in which he unrolled the dra- 
 matic history of his native province. The 
 interval between his appointment and the 
 opening of the course was spent in part in a 
 visit to Europe, devoted to exact, minute, 
 and scrupulous examination of the public 
 archives and private collections. 
 
 "His work was hailed by all Canadians as a 
 most noble contribution to their hterature ; 
 * the noblest monument yet erected to their 
 national glories ; " and he displayed! in it all 
 the qualities of a great historian. Exact and 
 persistent in reseai-ch, every accessible source 
 had been explored : his judgment, matured 
 by study and discipline, enabled him to 
 grasp the subject and treat it in a masterly 
 manner ; while his natural gaiety of dispo- 
 sition gave his writings a charm that render his 
 work not only the most thorough hbtory of 
 Canada that has yet appeared, but also the 
 most attractive in style. 
 
 "Mr. Gameau's work, so creditable to that 
 author, had initiated the new era of history 
 in Canada. Mr. Ferland brought to the field 
 of historic hterature, patience, research, 
 skill, and nai-rative power ; and no one 
 showed greater respect to Mr. Ferland than 
 his brother historian. 
 
 " Unfortunately Mr. Ferland was not spared 
 to complete his work. During its progress 
 he publishetl the Ufe of Monseigneur Plessis 
 in 1863, and just after its appearance in 
 July, 1863, he was struck with paralysis. 
 His naturally strong constitution enabled 
 him to recover from this first attack, and his 
 friends hoped for his ultimate recoveiy : but 
 his sedentary life and close application had 
 determined the character of the malady, 
 which had but given a manifestation of its 
 power. On Sunday, the 8th of January, 
 1864, after saying mass and preaching at St. 
 Patrick's Church, he suddenly sank down. 
 He was at once taken to his room, and in 
 spite of all mediad aid, expired between 
 ten and eleven o'clock at night. 
 
 " His second volume was going through 
 the press at the moment of his death, and 
 will, it is hoped, be completed by a compe-

 descended from one of the oldest 
 and most honorable French families 
 in Can., his father, (the late Hon, Louis 
 Fiset), held various offices of impor- 
 tance, including that of district judge 
 of Quebec. Mr. F. was educated at the 
 Seminary of his native city and at Dr. 
 Wilkie's sch. At the former he was 
 eminently successful in the depart- 
 ments of French composition, litera- 
 ture and eloquence. He studied law 
 and was duly admitted as an advocate, 
 but, so far, "^ has never practised his 
 profession. In 1861 he was appointed 
 Joint Prothonotary, (Que.) During his 
 school days he had imbibed a taste for 
 litenjture — he had a strong poetic vein 
 which he cultivated with success. 
 With years his powers became more 
 fully developed, and some of the most 
 finished and graceful epic poems and 
 lyrics in the realms of French Can. 
 
 poesy have emanated from his pen. 
 The majority of his pieces have ap- 
 peared in La Rxiche Liltcraire, (Mont.,) 
 L-is Soirees Can. and La Lilt. Can.. 
 (Que ) His prose essays have been 
 confined to the pages of i" Journal de 
 lEd. Pub, (Mon.,) and the leading Que- 
 bec journals published in the French 
 language. Upon the occasion of the 
 visit of the Prince of Wales to Can., in 
 1860, Mr. F. was selected to write the 
 Ode of Welcome from his native city 
 to the Royal Visitor for which he rt- 
 ceived the" thanks of H. R. H. Mr. I. 
 assisted in founding L'Institut Can.. 
 (Que.,) of which he afterwards became 
 President, and in 1856, whilst holding 
 that office offered £30 for the best 
 essay on the subject : " Quels scraieni

 (N. Y.) for some yeai's, a journal of 
 which he was the founder. In 1823 
 he accepted the ed. management of 
 the Official Gazette (Que.) and with it 
 the office of Queen's Printer, under 
 the administration of Lord Dalhousie. 
 This paper he conducted up to 1831, 
 when a demand was made upon him 
 to change his political articles, which 
 were found not altogether in unison 
 with the policy and views of the ruling 
 party of the day ; the peremptory 
 character of the request led to his 
 retirement from the Gazette, which 
 thereafter was made, what it had pre- 
 viously been in name only, a vehicle 
 for official announcements and ap- 
 pointments. Dr. F. ne.\t ed. the Mer- 
 cury of the same city, and, in 1841, 
 established a journal of his own, called 
 the Conservative. During the existenee 
 of the Canadian Magazine (Mont), from 
 1823 to 1825, he contributed to its pages. 
 He was President and an active and 
 zealous mem. and promoter of the Lit. 
 &. His. Soc. He is spoken of as having 
 been an elegant and forcible writer, 
 and a classical scholar of the highest 
 order.

 sions he has constantly followed. In 
 1845, he emigrated to this country and 
 took up his residence in U. C. He took 
 
 126 FLE 
 
 an active part in establishing the Cana- 
 dian Institute (Tor.); he was on the 
 engineering staff of the Northern Rail- 
 way, U. C. from 1852 to 1863, during 
 the greater portion of which time he 
 was chief engineer of the road. In 
 the latter year he was appointed by the 
 inhabit<ints of Red River settlement to 
 act asagenton their behalf in Can. and 
 Gt. Brit, as the bearer of a memorial 
 from them '■• on the subject of opening 
 up such a line of road as would afford 
 to that settlement free access without 
 being dependent on a foreign country." 
 He accordingly proceeded to Eng. to 
 urge the matter upon the attention 
 of the Imperial authorities, and re- 
 ceived a cordial reception from the 
 Duke of Newcastle, then Colonial Sec. 
 In 1863. he was nominated by the 
 Govts, of Can., N. S., N. B. and subse- 
 quently by that of the mother country 
 to act as Chief Engineer of the Inter- 
 colonial Railway Survey, between Can. 
 and the Lower Provinces. Owing, 
 however, to some disagreement be- 
 tween the Provincial Govts., this ap- 
 pointment was not carried out. The 
 survey was made, in the following 
 year, under instructions from the 
 Govt, of Can. Since the autumn of 
 18G4, Mr. F. has held the position of 
 Chief Railway Engineer for the Pro- 
 vince of N. S., residing at Halifax, and 
 simultaneously with the Exploratory 
 Survey for the Intercolonial Railway 
 between Riviere du Loup and Truro, 
 has carried on the execution of Railway 
 extensions in that Province. Besides 
 his reports on various works, projected 
 and effected, Mr. F. has written many 
 communications to the newspaper press 
 on subjects connected with his profes- 
 sion. He has also contributed many 
 interesting and instruc-tive papers to

 " Mr. Fleming divides his survey into two 
 sections — one called the Nova Scotia division 
 and the other the Canada and New Brunswick. 
 The first division embraced an examination 
 of a route from Truro, to which point a rail- 
 way is now constructed. Mr. Fleming pro- 
 ceeds to describe six routes, the great object 
 being to avoid the Cobequid Hills. He 
 finally concludes that an available route to 
 intersect the New Brunswick Railway east of 
 Moncton can be found, the length of which 
 would be 109 miles. Mr. Fleming settled on 
 a central route for the other frontier, or the 
 Canada and New Brunswick division of the 
 railway to connect Riviere du Loup with the 
 New Brunswick Railway. This route follows 
 the old Grand Trunk survey fiom Riviere du 
 Loup to Trois Pistoles, thence southward it 
 keeps to the east of the St. John River, in a 
 course towards the city of St. John, generally 
 direct until it reaches the river opposite to 
 Fredericton. The proposed line then strikes 
 to the east round by the head of the Grand 
 Lake, and then south, intersecting the New 
 Brunswick Railway at Apohaqui station, a joint 
 on that railway to the east of St. John, thus 
 joining the immediate portion of the railway 
 constructed between that joint and Moncton, 
 where connection would be made with the 
 proposed Nova Scotia line. Mr. Fleming 
 
 estimates the cost of proijosed line per mile, 
 after giving the approximate quantities of 
 excavation, masonry, iron, «fec., required to 
 complete the grading and bridges, as follows : 
 —Clearing, grubbing, draining, etc., i:l,(X)0; 
 superstructure, embracing ballast, 5.0(X) cu- 
 bic yai'ds rails and joints, 101. per yard ; 
 spikes, cross-ties, track laying, and an allow- 
 ance of 10 per cent, additional for siding, 
 $10,500; station accommodation, $'1,000-, 
 engineering, $1,500; rolling stock, ^3,000: 
 contingencies, mcluding miscellaneous ser- 
 vices and reserve fund for extra rolling stock, 
 ^6,000; total, $23.000— producing a total 
 mileage charge of $23,000, which will be con- 
 sidered uniform throughout and common to 
 all lines. The total expenditure which he 
 thinks a liberal estimate is as follows : — 
 Truro to Moncton — the Nova Scotia division 
 of the survey — uniform mileage charges above 
 referred to, estimated 109 miles at $23,0(X) 
 per mile, $2,507,000; bridging and grading, 
 estimated from quantities, deducing from 
 exploration survey, $2.693,0(X); total esti^ 
 mate, Truro and Moncton division, $5,200." 
 000. Riviere du Loup to Apohaqui, New 
 Brunswick and Canada division of the survey, 
 uniform mileage charges, 340 miles at $23,000 
 per mile, $7,820,000; bridging and grading, 
 estimated from quantities deduced from ex- 
 ploratory survey, $7,6 IS, 5(X); total estimate 
 Riviere du Loup to Apohaqui, $15,435,500; 
 grand total, $20,635.5(J0 — is an average of 
 $46,000 per mile. Mr. Fleming enters into 
 an examination of the different routes — 15 
 routes, — closing with that of Major Robert.son. 
 70 miles of which route along the Bay of 
 Chaleurs he resurveyed last summer. He 
 thinks this route not to be so difficult as was 
 supposed and judges that it would not cost 
 more than $40,000 per mile, or for the whole 
 route from Riviere du Loup to Truro $20,000- 
 000. In his proposed route, Mr. Fleming 
 has kept at the narrowest point as distant 
 from Maine as Maine is from the Grand 
 Trunk in Canada along the St. La\\Tence. 
 He enters pretty fully into the commercial 
 advantages of different routes, holding the 
 view that as a frontier route would accom- 
 modate the largest amount of local traffic, 
 and in the highest degree would serve the pur- 
 pose of Canada in winter as an outlet for 
 heavy through freight. He gives tables to 
 show that communication could be esta- 
 blished between New York and London by 
 extending the railway from Riviere du Loup 
 to Shippigan, in the Bay of Chaleurs, so that 
 passengers could be set down in 171 hours, 
 or nearly four days less than the lowest mean 
 average of passages. The maximum grade 
 in the central route from Riviere du Loup to 
 the New Brunswick Railway is 40 feet per 
 mile. — Can. News, (Lon. Eng.)

 GrARNEAU, P'ranqois Xavier. A Can. liis-

 1). there, 3 Feb. 1866. He was ed. at 
 the Quebec Seminary, and on leaving 
 sch. studied for the notarial profession. 
 In 1828, made a tour through a por- 
 tion of the New Eng. States, and in 
 1831, visited Eng. and France. On 
 this latter journey he expected that he 
 should have to return to Can. in the 
 same year, and having visited Paris, 
 was in London preparing to embark for 
 home, when he accidentally met with 
 Mr. D. V. Viger, the delegate from the 
 Assem. of L. G. to the Imperial Govt, 
 who retained him in Eng., as his 
 Secy. During his stay in London, Mr. 
 G.made the acquaintance of several pro- 
 minent literary men, amongst others, 
 Dr. Schirma, prof, of moral philoso- 
 phy at the Univ. of Varsovia, Thomas 
 Campbell, the poet, and McGregor the 
 historian and statist ; also of Mrs. Gore 
 the authoress, and of the Polish exiles 
 Prince Czartoriski, Gen. Pac, and Ursin 
 Niemcevvicz, the poet. He was admitted 
 as a mem. of the Literary Association 
 of the Friends of Poland, of which 
 Campbell was president. In the follow- 
 ing year he accompanied Mr.Viger from 
 London to Paris, visited the Academy 
 of Sciences and met many of the 
 Savants of that institution. In 1833, 
 he returned to Can. Some very inte- 
 resting fragments respecting his voyage 
 to Europe were written for Lc Journal 
 flc Quebec by Mr. G. so late as 1855. 
 We have been particular in noticing 
 the main incidents of this visit to the 
 old world, because from various causes, 
 principally the literary society into 
 which he was thrown, it exercised a 
 strong influence toward the formation 
 of his literary character. Several stray 
 poems which ho had written and never 
 IJublished were now produced in the 
 
 Quebec journal?. Some of them have 
 been preserved by Mr. Huston in his 
 Recueil de LUterature Canadicnne.^ (Mont. 
 1848.) ; we quote the opinion of L'Abbe 
 Casgrain, in his sketch of Mr. G., 
 respecting their literary merits : 
 
 *' Ces poesies respirent, en' plusieurs en- 
 droits, les sentiments qui I'animaient an 
 sujet de la nation dont 11 devait bientot entre- 
 prendre d'ecrire I'liistoire. 
 
 " Ou pent citer parmi les plus remar- 
 quables: Les Oiseaux Bluncs, L^Hiver, et Le 
 dernie)- Huron. 
 
 '• Mais ces essais qui auraient pu suffire a 
 la reputation d'un autre, et quilui assuraient 
 une place distinguee parmi nos litterateurs, 
 n'etaient qu'un acheminement a roouvre 
 capitate de sa vie."' 
 
 It was in 1840 that he commenced writing 
 the history of liis native country, a work 
 which will perpetuate his name in the litera- 
 ture of Can. for all time. The Ist^ volume 
 appeared at Quebec in 1845; the 2nd in 
 1846j and the 3rd, bringmg our history 
 down to the establishment of constitutional 
 government in 1792, in 184p, It was at once 
 favorably received by a I^^e portion of the 
 Can. population and by the French press of 
 both Can. and France. The Nouvelle Jievue 
 Ena/clo])^dique, of Firmin Didot, of Paiis, 
 (1847) reviewed it very approvingly. The 
 State of N. Y. having obtained in the interim 
 from the Eng. and French governments 
 a copy of their official correspondence with 
 the Colonies in N. A , Mr. G. proceeded to 
 Albany to consult the documents, rightly 
 judging that they would throw considerable 
 additional light upon the history of Can. 
 With the aid of Dr. O'Callaghan, who h^a 
 since jjublished the correspondence, <fec., 
 under the title of The Documentary History nf 
 Neio York, Mr. G. was entirely successful in 
 his mission and the result of it was a second 
 ed. of the History of Canada, revised and 
 corrected from the correspondence in ques- 
 tion, bringing the history down to the Union 
 of the Canadas in 1840, published by Mr. 
 Lovell in 1852. The new ed. was received 
 with great favour and approbation by tlie 
 public and the press. M. Th. Pavie devoted 
 an article to it of 26 pages, in the Revue des 
 deux Mondes ; Dr. Brownson, one of 20 pages 
 in his Quarterly Review, and M. Moreau, one 
 of nearly 30 pages in the Coirespondant of 
 Paris. A third ed. of the work appeared at 
 Quebec in 1859, and a translation from this 
 into Eng., by Mr. Bell, which Mr. G. con- 
 sidered very faulty, was published at Mont- 
 real in 1860. The History of Canada of Mr. (j. 
 will ever be considered, a standard woi-k. It 
 has been quoted and given as an authority 
 by such writers in the old and new worlds a-s

 cis Parkman, Winthrop Sargent, L. Dussieux,

 &c., and by most of our own Uterati. The 
 first named in his Histoire de France thus 
 speaks of Mr. G's work: 
 
 " Nous ne pouvons quitter sans emotion 
 cette Histoire du Canada, qui nous est anivee 
 d"un autre hemisphere comme un temoignage 
 vivant des sentiments et des tratlitions con- 
 serves parmi les Fran^ais du Nouveau-Monde 
 apres un siecle de domination etrangere. 
 Puisse le genie de notre race persist er parmi 
 nos freres du Canada dans leurs destinees 
 futures, quels que doivent etre leurs rapports 
 avec la grande federation anglo-americaine, 
 et conserver une place en Amerique a I'ele- 
 ment fran^ais." 
 
 In 1864, Mr. G. contributed the conclusion 
 of his history to the Bevue Canadienne which 
 drew from Count Montalembert. the distin- 
 guished French orator and author the follow- 
 ing : J'ai ete surtout frappe d"un travail inti- 
 tule: Une conclusion cT histoire, parM Gameau. 
 Je dirais volontiers, avec ce patriotique ecri- 
 vain ■ Que les Canadiens soient fideles a eux- 
 memes,' et j'ajouterai qu"ils se consolent 
 d'avoir et? separes par la fortune de la guerre 
 de leur mere jjatrie. en songeant que cette 
 separation leur a donne les liberies et des 
 droits que la France n'a su ni pratiquer, ni 
 conserver, ni regretter!'" 
 
 In conclusion we give the opinion of 
 L'Abbe Casgrain on Mr. G. as a writer : 
 
 " Le stj'le est a l.i hauteur de la pensee, et 
 ■^revele un ecrivain d'ehte. II ade Tampleur, 
 de la precision et de Tedat: mais il est sur- 
 tout remarquable par la verve et I'energie. 
 C est une riche draperie qui fait bien ressor- 
 tir les contours, dessine les formes avec grace, 
 et retombe ensuite avec noblesse et dignite. 
 II s"y mele par fois, disent certains critiques 
 jran^ais, une sorte d'archaisme, qui loin 
 d'etre sans charme, donne. au contraire, au 
 recit je ne sais quel caractere doriginaUte a 
 la fois et dautorite. 
 
 *• Mais le style de I'histoire du Canada se 
 •listingue surtout par une qualite qui fait son 
 veritable merite et qu'explique linspiration 
 sous laquelle Tauteur a ecrit. C'est dans un 
 elan d'enthousiisme patriotique, de fierte 
 nationale blessee, qu"iJ a con^u la pensee de 
 son livre, que sa vocation d'historien lui est 
 apparue. Ce sentiment, qui s'exaltait a 
 mesure qu'il ecrivait. a empreint son style 
 dune beaute male, dune ardeur de convic- 
 tion, dune ohaleur et d"une vivacite d' ex- 
 pression, qui entrainent et passionnent, — 
 surtout le lecteur Canadien. On sent par- 
 tout que le frison du patriotisme a passe sur 
 ces pages."' 
 
 IMr. G. for many years up to within a short 
 time of his death held the office of City Clk. 
 to the Corporation of Quebec. Previous to 
 this he had been an official in the emploj-ment 
 of the Can. Legislature. He was an honorary 
 mem. of several foreign as well as Car, 
 
 literarj- bodies. It is proposed to raise a 
 national monument over his remains.

 year. He was the founder of the 
 Forei.Gii Mission scheme of the Presb. 
 Ch., N. S., the first missionary on the 
 New Hebrides group, and the first to 
 reduce to writing the language of any 
 of the Islands composing the group. 
 As early as 1843 he wrote letters to the 
 Prcsb. Banner^ urging upon the Presb. 
 body the duty of establishing a mission 
 to the Heathen, and in 18'iG left N. S. 
 as the first missionary to the South 
 Seas. In July, 1848, he settled on the 
 island of Aneiteum, one of the New 
 Hebrides group, and having taken with 
 him a printing press and the other ne- 
 cessary materials, he soon (being an 
 amateur printer), commenced printing 
 school books, hymns and portions of 
 scripture in the language of the natives. 
 His labours, from the commencement, 
 have been most successful in bringing 
 a people of the most savage character 
 under the benign influence of Christi- 
 anity. But his greatest work there 
 has been the translation of the whole 
 New Testament into their language, 
 which he performed witli the assis- 
 tance of the Rev. John Inglis, a mis- 
 sionary who followed him 3 years 
 after his departure. He has also trans- 
 lated portions of the old Testament ; 
 amongst others the Book of Psalms 
 which was printed last year at Halifax. 
 His letters to the Blissionary Rer/istcr. 
 from 1850 to 1861, and to the Presb. 
 Record, (both of N. S.). since then, 
 giving an account of the islands, their 
 inhabitants, etc., and his labours as a 
 missionary, are models in their way, 
 clear, concise, giving facts in a simple 
 way, and manifesting a fine christian 
 spirit.

 was admitted to practice at the bar.

 During his residence in Montreal Mr. 
 L. look an active part in establishing 
 Vlastitul Canadlen of which he became 
 President, and was for 2 or 3 years re- 
 elected to that office. As an ordinary 
 inem. of that body he delivered several 
 interesting lectures before it, some of 
 W'hich have been published. In 1852 
 lie was appointed one of the French 
 translators in the Leg. Assem. and sub- 
 sequently was transferred to the Lib- 
 rary of Parliament as Assist. Librarian, 
 a position for which, from his literary 
 tastes and pursuits, he is eminently 
 fitted. Mr. L. has contributed, both iii 
 prose and verse, to many of the French 
 Can. f)eriodicals and journals; his 
 principal efforts of late have appeared 
 in Les Soirees Can. of which he was 
 one of the ed.-directors, and Le Foyer 
 Can.^ of which he w'as one of the 
 founders and one of the ed's. His 
 chief work is the novel of Jean Hivard^ 
 which appeared in the above perio- 
 dicals. In this work he has success- 
 fully endeavoured to give a true 
 picture of French Can. life and cha- 
 racter. The hero, from whom the 
 story takes its name, is a young man 
 who has just completed his education 
 at coll., and who looks around him on 
 entering the great theatre of life for 
 a profession or calling to which he 
 shall devote himself. Finding that all 
 are greatly evercrowded, and Ihat 
 nothing is to be gained but much to 
 be lost, by tying himself down to any 
 particular one of them, passing a life 
 of uselessness and inactivity, with no 
 field or scope for ambition or the 
 obtaining of distinction, he conceives 
 the idea of entering the back-woods as 
 a pioneer of civilization and by hard 
 work, energy and pluck carve' out a 
 name and a fortune for himself in the 
 primeval forest. He carries his project 
 into execution, and with £50 as his 
 capital commences and is ready to 
 undeigo all hardships and privations 
 in his cherished purpose. He meets 
 with hard struggles and many obsta- 
 cles, but his indomitable will conquers 
 all things which oppose him in his 
 determination. Fortune smiles upon 
 his efforts and his unconquerable spirit, 
 others follow him in his course, and 
 settle in the section of the country 
 which knows him as its founder and 
 
 father, the wilderness which he en- 
 tered but a few years before becomes 
 a populous and growing community — 
 Jean Rivard is a wealthy man, he mar- 
 ries the girl of his heart and is returned 
 to Parliament. The story is a simple 
 one simply told and therein is its chief 
 charm and attraction, but the romance 
 is not wanting. There are many pha- J 
 ses of character introduced, and a fine ' 
 moral sentiment runs through the en- 
 tire book.

 Gesner, Abraham, M. R, F. G. S. A N. S. 
 Geologist. B. in Cornwallis, N. S., 
 towards the close of the last cen 
 tury. D. at Halifax, 29April, 1864. 
 His father the late Colonel Gesner, 
 was a native of Rockland County, 
 N. Y., and an immediate descendant of 
 the philosopher Conrad Gesner, of 
 Zurich, Switzerl. At the commence- 
 ment of the revolutionary war, which 
 separated the Am. States from Gt. Brit., 
 the Gesner family joined the Royalists, 
 and 4 brothers entered the British 
 Army. At the close of the war the 
 father of Ur. G. and his twin brother 
 settled in N. S., having lost all their 
 patrimonial property by their attach- 
 ment to the British Crown. Their losses 
 and claims were not paid by the British 
 Govt., although fully advocated by 
 the late Duke of Wellington and other 
 military men of high standing. * 
 
 In early life Dr. G. displayed a taste 
 for learning. His opportunities to 
 obtain an education were limited and 
 he was altogether a self-made man. 
 Naturiil history was his favorite pur- 
 suit. An opportunity was offered him 
 of visiting the coasts of South Am. and 
 the West India Islands, between 1818 
 1821, and he was twice shipwrecked 
 in making voyages to that part of the 
 world, where he had opportunities of 
 examining a variety of tropical pro- 
 ductions and numerous volcanic and 
 coral formations. He afterwards com- 
 menced the study of medicine, went 
 to Europe and obtained the honors of 
 the medical profession. He was a 
 pupil of the late Sir Astley Cooper, 
 John Abernethy, and the most eminent 
 men of the day. His leisure hours in

 Eng. were devoted to chemistry and 
 geology. In 1835 he commenced an 
 authorized geological survey of the 
 Province of N. B., whichwas discon- 
 tinued in 18i2, in consequence of a 
 disagreement between the Legislature 
 and the Executive Govt. The survey 
 was inadequately provided for, no 
 assistant was employed and the work 
 was never completed. In the mean 
 time he collected a valuable museum 
 of natural history which is now the 
 property of the St. John's Mechanics' 
 Institute. He was a public lecturer on 
 ditlerent branches of science for many 
 years. He also accompanied Sir Char- 
 les Lyell on his first tour to the prin- 
 cipal places of geological interest in 
 N.S., and especially to the Cumberland 
 Coal field and the remarkable fossil- 
 iferous deposits of the '' Joggins, " 
 which Sir Charles and other writers 
 have since described with much mi- 
 nuteness : but of which Dr. G. had 
 published an account as early as 1836. 
 He devoted much labor to the deve- 
 lopement of the resources of his native 
 Province, and wrote a series of arti- 
 cles, on this subject in the Mining Jour- 
 nal (Lon.), and in other periodicals. 
 In 1846 Dr. G made a geological 
 survey of P. E. I., for the Govt., and in 
 that year, he first extracted lamp oils 
 from coals. From 18i8 to 1851 he was 
 occupied in analyzing the bitumen of 
 Trinidad and other natural produc- 
 tions of the West India Islands, under 
 the direction of the late Earl of Dun- 
 donald, then Admiral on the N. A. and 
 W. I. Stations. He also accompanied 
 his Lordship in his explorations of the 
 coasts of N. S., Newfoundl. and La- 
 brador, in reference to the fisheries 
 and geology of the shores. Dr. G. was 
 the discoverer of Kerosene Oil. * and 
 the modes of extracting oils from coals 
 and other bituminous substances. He 
 established two extensive manufac- 
 tories of the oils in N. Y., where he 
 took up his residence in 1852, and the 
 invention has been extended almost 
 over the world. In 1862, Dr. G. re- 
 turned to N. S., re-explored a consi- 
 derable part of the Province, and pu- 
 blished an account of her gold mines. 
 He made many communications to the

 " The work before us is of peculiar value, 
 as entering both into those valuable details 
 [on the Natural Resources of N. S.], and pay- 
 ing great attention as to the topography of 
 the Province, in which any particular cir- 
 cumstance is mentioned. These are drawn 
 up succinctly and perspicuously, and are 
 evidently the work of one who well under- 
 stands the subject. The book is likely to be 
 of essential benefit to Nova Scotia itself, and, 
 we will add, to persons who carefully peruse 
 it with a view to profit from the information 
 it commimicates. Besides the matter more 
 properly included in the plan of the work, 
 there is a.bwef but luminous * Introduction

 Dec. 25, 1821. He was the eldest son

 GIB 
 
 of Thomas Gibb, Esq., who in early 
 life had been an officer in H. M. Ord- 
 nance, and afterwards was engaged in 
 commercial pursuits. Dr. G. lost his 
 father when a mere boy, and with his 
 brother and sister was carefully and 
 religiously brought up by his mother, 
 a daughter of James Ellice Campbell, 
 Esq., an extensive timber merchant 
 and ship builder at Hochelaga, a couple 
 of miles below Montreal. He received 
 his education at the well known Gram- 
 mar Sell, of the B.e\. Dr. Black, and 
 afterwards under his successors Messrs. 
 Howden and Taggart. On leaving sch. 
 he entered on the study of law, but 
 as his early tastes and predilections 
 were for the profession of medicine he 
 abandoned it, and after a probationary 
 course of figures in the counting house 
 of a well known wholesale Scotch 
 firm, now extinct, he entered McGill 
 Coll. as a student in Medicine and Arts. 
 After some years study he took his 
 degree of Doctor of Medicine in May, 
 1840. In the following year he paid 
 a visit to Europe, remaining abroad 
 until 1849, when he returned to Mont- 
 real and commenced to practise. 
 With others, he was the originator 
 of the St. Lawrence Sch. of Medi- 
 cine, and held the Chair of Institutes 
 of Medicine, giving a special course of 
 lectures besides, on Comparative Ana- 
 tomy. So energetic were the lectures 
 at this sch., that a goodly number of 
 students was obtained at the first ses- 
 sion ; and the successful ellbrts of the 
 teachers, together with the disinclina- 
 tion of students resident in the city to 
 go long distances to attend lectures, 
 were the chief means of bringing the 
 medical faculty of McGill Coll.' into 
 the town. Besides his labours as a 
 medical lecturer. Dr. G. was attached 
 to the Montreal Dispensary, which he 
 helped to found, and on his leaving 
 Can. to settle in London in the spring 
 of 1853, after practising for 4 years in 
 Montreal, he was \inanimously elected 
 Consulting Physician to it. Whilst in 
 his native city he delivered lectui'es 
 each winter before the Natural History 
 Soc, Mercantile Library Association, 
 Addisonian Literary Soc. and other 
 bodies, upon some of the divisions of 
 Natural Histoid, Comparative Ana- 
 tomy and allied subjects. He was 
 
 Curator and Librarian of the Natural 
 History Soc. for 4 years, and devoted 
 much time and attention to the arrange- 
 ment of the Society's collection, pre- 
 senting to that body, before he left, the 
 greater portion of his piivate museum, 
 numbering nearly 1500 various speci- 
 mens in Natural History, and miscel- 
 laneous objects of interest and cui'iosity. 
 At the anniversary meeting of the 
 Soc. held 18 May, 1853, the follow- 
 ing resolution was unanimously passed 
 and afterwards extracted from the 
 minutes and forwarded to Di'. G., 
 through the hands of Major Laclilan, 
 the president : 
 
 •'That this Society, having learned with 
 regret, that Doctor George D. Gibb is about 
 to leave ( 'anada, avails itself of this occasion to 
 acknowledge his numerous valuable contri- 
 butions to its Museum, and his labours on 
 its behalf as Curator ; and to express its best 
 wishes for his future success and welfare : 
 while at the same time it would express its 
 thanks for the numerous valuable lectures 
 on Natural History delivered bj^ him before 
 the Society. (Signed) R. Lachlan, Prest. 
 N. H. S., Jos. T. DuTTOX, Secretary." 
 
 During the years of his pupillage Dr. 
 G. amassed a very fine Physiological 
 and Pathological Museum, chiefly, 
 however, whilst holding office as Assist. 
 House Surgeoji and Apothecary in the 
 General Hospital : this fine collection 
 was disposed of to the French Sch. of 
 Medicine in Montreal, and is a good 
 example of what untiring industry and 
 perseverance will accomplish. Besides 
 being a Governor, for some years. Dr. 
 G. succeeded Mr. LaRocque as Secy. 
 to the Montreal General Hospital, 
 which he resigned with all his other 
 appointments before leaving for Eng. 
 On this occasion an alFectionate farewell 
 address w^as presented to him by his 
 colleagues in the St. Lawrence Sch. of 
 Medicine. At the period of his depar- 
 ture he was President of the Patholo- 
 gical Soc. of Montreal, of which he was 
 the original founder, and had filled the 
 office of Secy, to the Mcdico-Chirur- 
 gical Soc. He was Surgeon to the 3rd 
 Battalion of Montreal Militia, his com- 
 mission bearing date 14 July, 1847. 
 This was in some measure a reward for 
 his services as a Volunteer during the 
 rebellion of 1837. On settling in Lou- ^ 
 don, amongst others to whom Dr. G. 
 had letters, was the late Mr. G. J. 
 
GIB 
 
 142 
 
 GIB 
 
 Gulhiie, the celebrated Army Surgeon, 
 who introduced him to Mr. HarevcU 
 at the Westminster Ophthalmic Hos- 
 
 Eital. This latter gentleman induced 
 im to join the Medical Soc. of London 
 as a Fellow — the oldest Soc. in London, 
 which in times past had numbered 
 Jenner and other distinguished men 
 amongst its Fellows. The Soc. at the 
 period we speak of (1853) offered great 
 facilities to young and aspiring physi- 
 cians to become known and to dis- 
 tinguish themselves, and Dr. G. was 
 not slow to avail himself of these 
 advantages. He immediately became 
 an active contributor and debater, and 
 the estimation in which he was held, 
 w^as shown by his being elected on the 
 Council of the Soc. 16 months after his 
 election as a Fellow, a circumstance 
 unprecedented in the annals of the Soc. 
 Dr. G. has the happy knack of making 
 a friend out of the most casual acquain- 
 tance, and his great personal popularity 
 may, in a great measure, be due to this 
 faculty. As a writer for the medical 
 press, his services were sought as a 
 sul>ed. firstly of the Medical Circular and 
 afterwards of The Lancet. The reports 
 of disease and clinical records from all 
 the hospitals in the Metropolis, were 
 exclusively under his vnanagement in 
 the latter journal, and for lU years (to 
 the end of 1855) did he laboriously and 
 assiduously edit this special depart- 
 ment of the Lancet., and as his duties 
 involved almost daily visits to some one 
 or other of the hospitals, wherein 
 everything curious or interesting was 
 brought under his notice, he became 
 acquainted (with but few exceptions) 
 with all the hospital physicians and 
 surgeons in London, and also in various 
 parts of the kingdom. He was attached 
 to 2 dispensaries, the SU Pancras Royal 
 and West London, the post of physician 
 to the former of which he held for 6 
 years, but resigned it on moving to the 
 west or fashionable end of London. 
 He subsequently was appointed Physi 
 cian lo the West London Hospital at 
 Hammersmith : and on the occur- 
 rence of a vacancy in the Assistant 
 Physicianship of the Westminster 
 Hospital, opposite Westminster Abbey, 
 he successfully contested the ap- 
 pointment with an Oxford graduate, 
 who had the support of all the Clergy 
 
 and Barristers who were on the Board 
 of Governors ; so strenuously did he 
 exert himself upon this occasion and 
 so popular was his name, that he 
 secured a majority of two-thirds of the 
 votes over his opponent who did not 
 in consequence go to the poll. The 
 appointment to this ancient hospital 
 Dr. G. considers one of the most im- 
 portant events in the history of his 
 medical career. He now became asso- 
 ciated with its medical sch. as one of 
 the lecturers on Forensic Medicine, 
 and resigned his other office of Physi- 
 cian \o the West London Hospital, hot 
 wishing to retain two appointments. 
 About this time the Council of the 
 Laval Univ. (Que.), recognising his 
 position in the mother country as an 
 illustrious Can., and in consideration 
 of the attention he has always paid 
 to students and graduates of Medicine 
 from Can., conferred the honorary 
 degree of Doctor of Laws upon him. 
 Dr. G. has been a great observer and 
 recorder of facts, this habit was im- 
 bibed when a youth, for he was early 
 accustomed to* roaming about and 
 studying appearances presented by 
 nature both as regards the animal and 
 mineral world. In his excursions he 
 regularly noted down the various 
 phenomena presented to his notice, 
 and the features of the country over 
 which he travelled, and doubtless if 
 he had had the opportunity of at- 
 tending lectures on Geology at that 
 time, he would have made a good 
 practical worker in that branch of 
 science, for he was early at work 
 studying the organic remains of the 
 Lower Silurian Rocks, upon which we 
 may say he was born ; as it is, he has 
 published several geological memoii's 
 of interest. The records which he 
 had preserved have been of the greatest 
 service to him through life, and he has 
 continued the plan to the present time 
 of writing up his excui-sions and jour- 
 neys whether for scientiQc or other 
 purposes. He accumulated the mate- 
 rials, before leaving Gm., of a small 
 work never yet published, with the 
 proposed title of ••' Geological Rambles 
 around Montreal and its vicinity," 
 which we hope he may some day have 
 the leisure to complete and publish. 
 In 1 834 he published a monograph 
 
GIB 
 
 143 
 
 GIB 
 
 upon Hooping Congh, which he dedi- 
 cated by permission to the late Earl of 
 Elgin, whose friendship and acqnain- 
 tanco he enjoyed. This was one of 
 many other pnblications of his, and 
 the list of his writings which follows, 
 shows that when others have slept Dr. 
 G. has been at work. A systematic 
 mode of life, regnlar honrs and abste- 
 mious habits, have enabled him to 
 carry all this out, without any great 
 effort or strain upon his bodily or 
 mental faculties; a source of change 
 and relief was always at his command 
 in visiting some spot where nature 
 might be studied, and the system 
 freshly invigorated. On his first visit 
 to Europe he became a pupil at St. 
 Bartholomew's Hospital (Lon.) and the 
 Coll. of Surgeons (Dub.) : he was 
 admitted a Licenciate of the latter 
 body, after public examination, and 
 took the diploma in midwifery. He 
 witnessed the effects of the "Revo- 
 lution of June, 1848, in Paris, when 
 all the hospitals were crowded with 
 the wounded, and published a series 
 of 1 23 cases, with remarks. He became 
 an active Fellow of the Parisian 
 Medical Soc. and read papers before it. 
 Besides his degrees in Medicine and 
 Arts from McGill Coll., Dr. G. holds 
 that of the Royal College of Physicians 
 (Lon.) ; he is also a Fellow of the Geo- 
 logical, Royal Medical and Chirurgical, 
 Pathological, Anthropological, New 
 Sydenham and other Societies (Lon.) 
 He is at this time Senior Vice President 
 of the Medical Soc. (Lon ), and on the 
 Council of several others. He is an 
 honorary mem. of the Literary and 
 Philosophical Soc. (St. Andrews), of 
 the Kent ArchiTlogical Soc, a life mem. 
 of the British Association for the Ad- 
 vancement of Science, and the British 
 Medical Association. A mem. of the 
 Academy of Sciences of Rome, and of 
 Stockholm ; of the Natural History 
 Societies (Bos. and Mont.), Literary and 
 Historical Soc. (Que.), of the Medical 
 Soc. of Virginia, Canadian Institute, 
 Numismatic Soc. (Mont.) and various 
 other bodies. Likewise a Fellow of 
 the College of Physicians and Surgeons 
 1.. C. He has achieved a reputation of 
 a European character for alfections of 
 the throat and windpipe, and has con- 
 
 those subjects. He introduced several 
 of the Bromides into Medicine as thera- 
 peutic agents, more especially the 
 Bromide of Ammonium, an agent 
 which promises to be of lasting benefit, 
 in the relief of a large number of 
 diseases. In relntion to these we may 
 remark that Dr. G.'s knowledge is es- 
 sentially practical, for he was the best 
 chemical student of his day in McGill 
 Coll., and before taking his degree was 
 offered the appointment of Chemist to 
 the Geological Survey of Can., which 
 he declined, not wishing to devote 
 himself exclusively to that branch of 
 science. He was the first to discover 
 the characteristic crystal of Diabetic 
 sugar, the presence of sugar in the fluid 
 of certain dropsies, and the almost 
 invariable presence of sugar in the 
 urine of hooping cough. He has 
 demonstrated that the epiglottis or 
 valve at the top of the windpipe in 11 
 per cent of mankind, instead of being 
 always erect or vertical is pendent, 
 which to some extent accounts for the 
 frequency of throat diseases. Dr. G. 
 was the first in London to remove little 
 tumours from within the larynx by 
 the mouth, a feat he has now done

 ra<-ler of Ur. Gibb's work is that it is eminently 
 practical — such a book as the prai-titioner desirous 
 ot learning and using the laryngoscope might study 
 with advantage, since it jiisi gives what he wants. 
 There i» no parade of antiquarian lore, no abstruse 
 disquisition on the laws of reflection and the prin- 
 ciples of illumination ; but just a .-traighiforward 
 setting down in print of the observations and expe- 
 rience of one of the most accurate and skilful of the 
 numerous practitioners who are devoting themselves 
 to the study of the laryngoscope in fingland, France 
 and Germany." — Lancet. 
 
 " Dr. Gibb has most laboriously and ably inves-

 When still a child went with his fami-

 Until he attained the age of manhood 
 was engaged in agricultural pursuits ; 
 and is almost wholly self-taught. Was 
 for several years a sch. master. At 18 
 began to contribute in prose and verse 
 to the newspapers. In 1843, became 
 Ed. of the Novo Scotian, (Hal.) which 
 had previously been under the able 
 management of Mr. Joseph Howe. In 
 the autumn, the paper changed hands 
 and Mr. Annand became its prop, and 
 principal ed., Mr. G. being his assist. 
 In the following year Mr. A. established

 published conjointly with the Nova

 ed. of them. In 1845, purchased the 
 Herald (Yarmouth), liberal in politics, 
 which he conducted until 1851, when 
 he retired for a time from the field of 
 journalism. He still, however, contri- 
 buted largely to the magazines and 
 newspapers of the Lower Provinces, 
 taking part in most of the political dis- 
 cussions of the day, and in addition, 
 furnishing many articles of a purely 
 literary character. He also wrote a 
 work of fiction, The Refugee's Daughter 
 in 43 chapters, which appeared in the 
 Transcript (Liverpool N. S.) in 1857-8.

 " In looking over the title page of this 
 little poem, a strong and lively feeling of 
 interest is excited, when professedlj' the 
 production of not only the namesake, but 
 a descendant of the Great Oliver, whose 
 name can never be mentioned without emo- 
 tions of respect and admiration, and whose 
 literary efforts always jjourtrayed nature 
 without deviating from truth : nihil tegitit 
 qtiod non ornavit. * The striking similarity 
 of the subject to one so ably handled by 
 that masterly and pleasing WTiter, almost j 
 leads the fancy of the reader to identify the [ 
 amiable elegance of its style with that which J 
 so highly characterizes 
 
 ' Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain,' 
 and impress us \yiih the conviction, that the 
 author is indeed worthj' of the relationship 
 he bears to that great genius. With respect , 
 more particularly to the present production, 
 we find much to commend in the manner i 
 and strict adherence to truth with which va- 
 rious scenes are pourtrayed ; and whose 
 fidelity of description plainly evinces, both 
 an intimate acquaintance with, as well as a 
 ooiTect conception on the part of the writer j 
 of the subject on which he has founded this 
 pleasing poem. The sweetness of verifica- 
 tion and happj' smoothness of expression 
 that pervade it tliroughout, stamp it as the 
 production of a polished and well cultivated

 in 1857, settled on the island of Erro- 
 manga, the scene of the martyrdom of 
 John Williams. Here he continued 
 to labour till he and his wife were 
 murdered by the savages in 1861. 
 From the time of his being accepted 
 as a missionary, and even before, until 
 his death he wrote much, which was 
 published principally in the Presb. 
 Witness and the Missionary Register. His 
 last published letter was on the subject 
 of Evangelical Christendom, published 
 in London, in ISGl. He was the first 
 to reduce the language of Erromanga 
 to writing. He prepared and printed 
 several small school books and scrip- 
 ture extracts. He also translated the 
 Gospel of Luke, which has since been 
 printed. He had also translated the 
 book of Jonah and i^art of the Acts of 
 the Apostles.

 great cause to which we are committed, and 
 the good, true men who having taken their 
 lives in their hands, fought well the good 
 tight of faith, and fell doing brave battle in 
 the service of the Prince of Peace. If any men 
 
 deserve to be held in grateful remembrance 
 by the Presbyterian Church of the Lower 
 Provinces, they are those noble hearted 
 young men, one Gordon and Matheson and 
 Johnston, who sacrificed all they held dear 
 on earth to be our missionaries to far foreign 
 lands, who stood fearlessly in posts of immi- 
 nent peril, never deserting their trust, falling 
 at last with their armour on, and wielding the 
 sword of the spirit." — Mission. Record, (tial.)

 GouRLAY, Robert Fleming. A name well

 Can. in 1817, where he had acquired 
 property by marriage ; and commenced 
 statistical enquiries into the capabili- 
 ties of the Province, in the course of 
 which he became aware of the exis- 
 tence of various abuses : 
 
 " He then proposed that a Commission 
 should be appointed to proceed to Great 
 Britain, to have these abuses rectified : and 
 held pubhc meetings for that purpose, — 
 accounts of the proceedings at which were 
 published in a pamphlet, which was generally 
 approved of by the people of the Pi-ovince ; 
 
 but, by those in power, was considered as 
 having a, seditious tendency, and he was 
 therefore arrested, and put on his trial for 
 sedition, at Kingston ; but. being acquitted, 
 he was again tried at Brockville, with how- 
 ever, a similar result. He, then, had to pro- 
 ceed to New York on business : and. on his 
 retm-n was imprisoned in the gaol at Niagara, 
 where iU treatment, in being confined in a 
 cell for five weeks (in all eight months,) in 
 the dog days, debarred from the sight of, or 
 communication with his friends, his Counsel, 
 and the Magistrates of the District, threw 
 both his body and mind into such a state, as 
 to render him totally unfit to defend himself, 
 upon his trial, or even to comprehend his 
 arraignment. The result of the trial was, 
 that he was banished from the Province for 
 life, under pain of death, should he return, — 
 his alleged crime being that he neglected to 
 quit the covmtry upon the order of a single 
 Magistrate acting under an unjust consti-uc 
 tion of an unconstitutional Statute, most ille- 
 gally exercised." * 
 
 Mr. G. retired to the U. S. whence he 
 shortly after proceeded to Eng. The 
 Can. Govt, granted him a pension for 
 his losses and sufferings, which he re- 
 fused. After his decease the arrears of 
 pension up to the day of his death 
 were paid to his family. In 1859, Mr. 
 G. issued the prospectus of a work to 
 bear the following title : '■'■ The Recor- !

 (Tor.,) a non political paper which was 
 subsequently merged in the Provincial 
 Telegraph, a" tri-weekly, which after- 
 wards became a daily, and was even-

 International Exhibition of 1862. He 
 has also occupied several other im- 
 portant positions, ancj was Vice Pre- 
 sident of the N. S. Institute of Natural 
 Sciences. He is a Fellow of the Royal 
 Soc. of Antiquaries (Eng.,) and of the 
 Royal Soc. of Northern Antiquaries 
 (Denmark.) The idea of endeavouring 
 to trace the popular customs and super- 
 stitions of nations to their origin was 
 suggested to Mr. H. in 1853, by the 
 discovery that many of those found in 
 the old world, also exist among the 
 Indian Tribes of Am. The attempt 
 was regarded by the late Mr. Prescott 
 and Sir Henry Ellis, F. R. S., librarian 
 of the Brit. Museum, as an important 
 but almost hopeless task ; the origin 
 of such observances having been hi- 
 therto regarded as lost in the mists of 
 the most remote antiquity. Mr. H. 
 nevertheless devoted the leisure of 
 several years to collecting materials, 
 a most tedious and laborious task, and 
 in 1863, published a short paper " On 
 the Unity of Origin of the Human Race 
 proved by the Universality of Certain 
 Superstitions^ This was intended more 
 for an amusing paper than a learned 
 disquisition on one of the most im- 
 portant scientific questions of the day, 
 but it met with a very favourable 
 reception from some eminent scientific 
 men. Among others Prof. Max-Muller, 
 of Oxford, regarded the comparison of 
 customs as being as likely to throw 
 light on the history of man as the 
 study of the science of language. His 
 next was a paper published in the 
 Trans, of the N. S. Institute of Natural 
 Sciences for 1863 " On the festival of the 
 Dead,'' or All Halloween, All Saints ^ 
 All Souls, (Oct. 3 1st, Nov. ist & 2nd), 
 which was found to be celebrated for 
 three days or rather for an Eve or vigil 
 and two days among almost all nations, 
 from Polynesia to Europe, being partly 
 a thanksgiving and partly a comme- 
 moration of the dead. Very many 
 coincidences in its observance in diffe- 
 rent quarters of the globe proved most 
 
 "remarkable and far too striking to be 
 
 ' assigned to accident or chance. But 
 the most interesting point that was 
 
 . brought to light, was that this Festival 
 is generally observed in Nov. north 
 
 'and south" of the Equator in the 
 11 
 
 old world and in the new. This could 
 not be explained by anything yet 
 known to us, as respects the history of 
 man. and it seemed probable that the 
 festival must have been regulated in 
 some very simple manner, such as by 
 the rising or setting of some stars or 
 by some such phenomenon everywhere 
 oljservable. The singularly universal 
 reverence for the 7 stars, or for " the 
 sweet influences of the Pleiades'" 
 which existed even in the time of Job, 
 naturally suggested those stars to the 
 mind of Mr. H. ; and his search was 
 after a time rewarded by finding a pri 
 mitive calendar in the South Sea 
 Islands regulated by those stars, from 
 Nov. to May, when they are visible in 
 the evening above the horizon being 
 called the season of " Pleiades above," 
 and the rest of the year when those 
 stars are invisible in the evening being 
 termed the "Pleiades below." In Aus- 
 tralia, also, a festival commencing in 
 the evening and lasting 2 days is held 
 in Nov. when those stars " are most 
 distinct" i. e. when they are on the me- 
 ridian at midnight^ and is called the Gor- 
 roborree of the Pleiades, the stars 
 which they revere as being " very 
 good to the blacks," being almost their 
 only object of worship. Traces of this 
 primitive reverence for the Pleiades or 
 of this simple mode of regulation of 
 the year by those stars were subse- 
 quently found in Borneo, Mexico, 
 Egypt arid India. In the most ancient 
 calendar in the world that of the Brah- 
 mins of Tirralore the month of Nov. was 
 called the month of the Pleiades. It be- 
 came evident that this year of the Plei- 
 ades was the primitive calendar used 
 by the common ancestors of the human 
 race and that all other calendars had 
 been based upon it, and that each na- 
 tion as it branched off from the parent 
 stock carried with it in its wanderings 
 over the globe this primitive festival 
 and the memory of the calendar by 
 which it was regulated preserving and 
 transmitting to their descendants a 
 reverence for "the sweet influences" 
 of those stars, which from the very 
 birth of time itself must have been " for 
 signs and for seasons and for days and 
 years." It was discovered that the 
 Mexicans, Egyptians and the Hebrews 
 must have associated the memory of 
 
HAL

 the Deluge with the same night, viz., 
 oil which the Pleiades are most con- 
 spicuous or are on the meridian at 
 night. These conclusions were worked 
 out by Mr. H. step by step, aud the 
 results were gradually printed in 18G3, 
 as his iuvestigations progressed, in a 
 paper or rather a journal of investi- 
 gations of 104 pages, which was sent 
 to a few scientific societies and to 
 persons interested in such matters. 
 \Vhile preparing this paper, however, 
 it was not only apparent to Mr. H. that 
 the year and its festivals were regula- 
 ted by the Pleiades, but also that the 
 chronology and the cycles of the an- 
 cients had some reference to those 
 stars, he therefore turned his attention 
 to this point 
 
 A festival or calendar regulated by the 
 fixed stars would of course be affected 
 by the procession of the Equinoxes i. e. 
 in every period of between 71 and 72 
 years, the fixed stars would gain one 
 degree in their revolutions and would 
 be on the meridian at midnight one 
 degree later after every such period. A 
 festival, regulated by this phenomenon, 
 would also be progressive as regards 
 the seasons and would take place one 
 day later in the same period. The an- 
 cients it is perfectly clear knew* this 
 and attached a peculiar importance 
 to a truth which they believed, and 
 apparently not without good reason, 
 was a gift from the Deity ; and under 
 the form of prehistoric chronology they 
 preserved the rule as to the revolution 
 of the fixed stars which they supposed 
 would gain one degree in 72 years and 
 360 degrees (i. e. making a total revo- 
 lution around the seasons) in 25920 
 years (72 X 360), and this vast lapse of 
 time they regarded as a great year or 
 cycle. The fact that the number 72, 
 which is so conspicuous in the History 
 of the Noah of the Chinese, Hindoos, 
 and Egyptians appears also in connec- 
 tion with the Noah of inspired narra- 
 tive, whose immediate descendants 
 commentators agree were 72 in num- 
 ber, led Mr. H. to infer that the same 
 peculiarity would pervade the prehis- 
 toric chronology of the Hebrews, and 
 the results bore out his conjecture. 
 The period from the creation to the 
 deluge 1656 years makes 23 periods of 
 72 years each ; assuming the 7 days of 
 
 p3 
 eafl 
 
 creation to be similar periods of 
 years each, we have a total of 30 
 riods (2160 of our years), or a greal 
 month. 12 of them makes exactly 
 25,920 the great year of antiquity and 
 the period in which the ancients from 
 Scandinavia to China believed that the 
 revolution of the fixed stars takes place. 
 The results of these further investiga- 
 tions were privately printed in March 
 1864, in a second number of " Nev: 
 Materials for the History of Man.," entitled 
 " Astronomical Features in the Mosaic 
 Cosmogony.'' The Ed. of the Etymo- 
 logical Review during the past year in a 
 series of articles on '"■ The Mythical 
 Character of Prehistoric Chronology.," 
 which were favorably noticed in the 
 Times., has brought out this point very 
 clearly, but he has apparently not seen 
 the paper of Mr. H., and is hot aware 
 that the peculiarities he has noticed 
 in the pre-historic Chronology of 
 ancient nations is still more apparent 
 in that of the Mosaic narrative. 
 Two months after No. 2 was published, 
 the Astronomer Royal for Scot., (Prof. 
 J. Piazzi Smyth) drew attention to the 
 wonderful Meteorological Science of thr 
 ancients which he ascribed to divint- 
 inspiration, in a paper read by him on 
 the Great Pyramid. The savants of 
 Napoleon's expedition to Egypt had 
 conjectured that the cofier in th* 
 chamber of the Great Pyramid was a 
 standard of measures similar to our 
 own, and built on a knowledge of 
 the exact size of the earth, a view 
 elaborated by the late Mr. Taylor in 
 his work on the Great Pyramid, and 
 supported by the Astromoner Royal 
 for Scot, in the paper referred to. Ar 
 he was about to spend some months 
 of the winter of 1864 at the Great 
 Pyramid, for the purpose of examining 
 that building with accurate instru- 
 ments, Mr. H. suggested to him his 
 belief that it was originally an As- 
 tronomical Observatory, the' window 
 or small opening from the central 
 chamber towards the apex, being pro 
 bably intended to ascertain with ac- 
 curacy when the Pleiades were on the 
 Meridian at midnight, a point which 
 could not be with certaintv determined 
 by the naked eye. In Oct. 1866, Prof. 
 S.' wrote to Mr. H. the following satis- 
 factory intelligence : 
 
HAL 
 
 165 
 
 HAL 
 
 " You wished to know if anything about 
 the Pleiades might be found in the Great 
 Pyramid. I beheve that an immense deal 
 about them is there, so much so, that with- 
 out disturbing other important purposes of 
 the building, there is enough to constitute 
 the Great Pyramid the monument of the 
 year of the Pleiades. The proofs are gra- 
 dually coming out of the mass of observa- 
 tions I made there this spring." 
 
 He has recently written to Mr. H. 
 that he intended to read before the 
 Royal Astronomical Soc.(Lon.) a paper 
 *•' On the (late of the Pyramid from an 
 Astronomical point ofview^'" adding : 
 
 '' And there it is that the year of the 
 Pleiades theory by their being on the meri- 
 dian at midnight is so important or receives 
 so much confirmation. I shall undoubtedly 
 allude to you as first giving me the idea, and 
 should be glad to refer to any paper of yours, 
 which by being printed together with mine, 
 (if the Soc. should choose to print either), 
 would be immediately within men's reach." 
 
 If the Great Pyramid was, as sug- 
 gested, an Astronomical Observatory 
 for the purpose apposed by Mr. H., 
 the age of the Great Pyramid can be 
 accurately estimated by culculating 
 how many thousand years must have 
 elapsed since the Pleiades, when in the 
 Meridian, were visible from the cham- 
 ber of the Great Pyramid.

 " I am truly gratified by your kindness in 
 sending a copy of your remarkable essay on

 " Your researches are certainly of a very

 result tends strongly to confirm our belief 
 in the common origin of the human race. 
 The traditions as to the Deluge also incline 
 in the same direction, and I trust that your 
 future enquiries may combine with the re- 
 sults in establishing on a firm foundation 
 some of the most striking declarations re- 
 coi-ded in Holy Writ." — C. T. Cantuar. 
 
 " Mr. Haliburton has long occupied him- 
 self with investigations into the unity of 
 those singular superstitious practices which 
 are so widely spread amongst the most va- 
 rious tribes of mankind, in the hope thereby 
 of obtaining evidence of the unity of origin 
 of the human species. His first essay is 
 devoted to the discussion of the almost uni- 
 versal attribution of more or less ominous 
 character to the act of sneezing, and his 
 second treats of the very general prevalence 
 of the custom of holding ' festivals of the 
 dead' at the beginning of the month of 
 November. This practice the author finds 
 prevailing in the Southern hemisphere in 
 connexion with the rising of the Pleiades, 
 which marks the beginning of the year, and 
 he hence supposes that the custom took its 
 rise south of the equator in the form of a 
 New Year's commemoration of departed 
 friends and relatives. In support of this 
 hypothesis, involving, as it does, migration 
 northwards of the ancestors of those Euro- 
 pean and Asiatic peoples amongst whom a 
 similar custom is to be traced, Mr. Hali- 
 burton adduces many curious and interest- 
 ing facts." — West. Review.

 Haliburtox. Hon. Thomas Chandler. M. A., 
 D. C. i., M. P. A distinguished novelist 
 and humourist. B. at Windsor, N. S., 
 Dec. 1796. D. at Gordon House, Isle- 
 worth, near London, Eng., 27 Augt., i 
 18S5. He was descended from an | 
 ancient Scottish family of the same j 
 name, (with which Sir Walter Scott • 
 was also connected,) mentioned in ! 
 Border Histoi-y, in the beginning of I 
 the 16th century, as "leal, true and ! 
 honest men, and good borderers against 
 the English." In the early part of the | 
 18th century, towards the close of the j 
 reign of Queen Anne, a branch of the 
 family emigrated to Boston, in the 
 now U. S. of Am., whence at the time 
 of the Revolution the grandfather of 
 the subject of this notice, still " leal 
 and true" to his sovereign, removed 
 to Windsor in N. S. Mr. H. was the 
 only child of the late Hon. William 
 Otis Haliburton, a Justice of the Court 
 of Common Pleas, N. S., by Lucy, 
 eldest daughter of Major Grant, an 
 officer of considerable professional 
 reputation, who fell while resisting an 
 attack made by a body of rebels during 
 the Am. revolutionary war. Through 
 his maternal grandmother, the wife of 
 Major Grant, who was a Miss Kent, 
 Mr. H. was connected with the well- 
 known Chancellor Kent, and through 
 his grandmother by his father's side, 
 with the Otis family of Boston. He 
 was ed. fii-st at the Grammar Sch. of 
 Windsor, his native place, and after- 
 wards at the Univ. of King s Coll. in 
 the same province. At the time he 
 was removed to the latter establish- 
 
 ment — which was then considered one 
 of the most successful educational iu 
 stitutions in Am., the Rev. Dr. Porter. 
 of Brazenoze Coll. (Ox.) officiated as 
 president, while the Rev. Dr. Cochran, 
 of Trinity Coll. (Dub.) fulfilled the 
 duties of vice-president. Among the 
 scholars under the tuition of these reve- 
 rend gentlemen contemporaneously 
 with Mr. H., there were several who 
 were destined to achieve celebrity in 
 their respective spheres. One became 
 the chief justice of Gibralter ; four 
 won their way to the Bench, and at- 
 tained professional distinction in the 
 Supreme Court of N. S. ; two received 
 appointments as Judges in N. B. ; one 
 became distinguished as a Q. C. at the 
 English Bar; while another, also a 
 native of N. S., after a brilliant military 
 career in the service of Her Majesty in 
 India, won a name of world-wide cele 
 brity by his heroic defence of Lack 
 now ; we allude, of course, to the 
 gallant General — the late Sir John 
 Inglis, K. C. B. Mr. H. held a promi- 
 nent place among the pupils of King- 
 Coll, until the year 1824, when hv 
 quitted the institution ; before he left 
 he secured various prizes, different 
 marks of esteem from the professors, 
 and had graduated with distinguished 
 honours. At an early period of his 
 studies he evinced a taste for the pur- 
 suit of literature. In a closely con- 
 tested trial for the prize for an EngUsh 
 essay, "On the Advantages derived 
 froni a knowledge of the Classics ' — 
 in which competition many were en 
 gaged — Mr. H. came off victorious. 
 Besides this prize, he obtained other 
 honours for his skill in composition. 
 
 On leaving Coll. he made choice of 
 the profession of law, and after under- 
 going the usual period of study, and 
 passing the necessary examinations 
 was admitted to practice as a barrister. 
 His career at the bar was a successful 
 one. After his first visit to Eng. he 
 practised at Annapolis Royal, the for- 
 mer capital of N. S., where he acquired 
 a large and lucrative business. His 
 reputation as an advocate stood deser- 
 vedly high. A wider sphere of action, 
 was soon, however, to be opened to 
 him ; his services were solicited as a 
 mem. of the Legislature of his native 
 Province, and in compl'ance with the 
 
HAL 
 
 167 
 
 HAL 
 
 wishes of his friends he entered the 
 Leg. Assem. as mem. for the county of 
 Annapolis. He took an active part in 
 the different deliberations and discus 
 sions of that body, and by his powers 
 of debate and other prominent abilities 
 speedily attained a leading position as 
 a legislator. Speaking of one of his 
 oratorical efforts at this time Mr. Mur- 
 doch, in his recent History of N. 5., 
 says : 
 
 " This speech was the most splendid piece 
 of declamation that it has ever been my 
 fortune to listen to. Mr. Haliburton was 
 then in the prime of life and vigor, both 
 mental and physical. The healthy air of 
 country life in his native Windsor had given 
 him a robust appearance, though his figure 
 was yet slender and graceful. * * * As 
 an orator, his attitude and manner were ex- 
 tremely impressive, earnest and dignified, 
 and although the strong propensity of his 
 mind to wit and humour were often appa- 
 rent, they seldom detracted from the serious- 
 ness of his language when the subject under 
 discussion was important. Although he 
 sometimes exhibited rather more haufeur in 
 his tone than was agreeable, yet his wit was 
 usually kind and playful. On this occasion 
 he absolutely entranced his audience with 
 the corruscations of genius playing with 
 classic and historic imagery, and appealing 
 to the kindest feelings of humanity. He was 
 not remarkable for readiness of reply in 
 debate ; but when he had time to prepare 
 his ideas and language, he was almost al- 
 ways sure to make an impression on his 
 hearers." 
 
 In 1828, when only 32 years of age, 
 he received the appointment of Chief 
 Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, 
 no small tribute to his merits, and until 
 1840, he discharged the functions of 
 that important office with unvarying 
 zeal and ability. In the latter year the 
 Court of Common Pleas was abolished, 
 and the services of Mr. H. were trans- 
 ferred to the Supreme Court. In Feby., 
 185(), he resigned his office of Judge in 
 this Court, and soon afterwards re- 
 moved to Eng., where he continued to 
 reside till his death. 
 
 As an author Mr. H. first came before 
 the public in 1829, as the historian of his 
 native province. His work w^is widely 
 circulated, well received by both the 
 public and the press, and at once 
 secured for its author a place among 
 the literati on this side of the Atlantic. 
 It was thought so highlv of in N. S., 
 
 that the House of Assem. of that 
 Province tendered Mr. H. a vote of 
 thanks * which he received in person 
 in his place in Parliament. To the 
 present day his " Hist, and Stat. Ac- 
 count of Nova Scotia" is regarded as 
 a standard work in the Province. 
 Judge H. became unconciously the 
 author of the inimitable works of Sam 
 Slick. For the purpose of preserving, 
 or, at least, reviving some anecdotes 
 and good stories tbat were then fast 
 dying out, connected with colonial 
 life, he began a series of anonymous 
 articles in the Nova Scotian newspaper, 
 then ed. by Hon. Joseph Howe, and 
 made use of a Yankee pedlar as his 
 mouth-piece. The character adopted, 
 or imagined, proved to be a hit, and the 
 articles amused the readers of that 
 paper and were copied by the Am. 
 press. They were collected together 
 and published at Halifax anonymously, 
 and several editions were issued in the 
 U. S. A copy was taken thence 
 to Eng. by Gen. Fox, who gave it to 
 Mr. Richard Bentley, the publisher. 
 To Judge H's surprise he learned that 
 
 * Extract from the Proceedings of the House of 
 Assembly of Nova-Scotia : 
 
 "Resolved, that the thanks of this House 
 be communicated to Thomas C. Haliburton, 
 Esquire, for the very laudable and laborious 
 effort which he has made to illustrate the 
 History, Topography, and Resources of the 
 Province, in the ' Historical and Statistical 
 Account of Nova Scotia, ' now issuing from 
 the press ; and that the Speaker be reques- 
 ted to convey to Mr. Haliburton the sub- 
 stance of this Resolution. 
 
 "Mr. Haliburton being called into the 
 House, and standing in his place, was thus 
 addressed by Mr. Speaker : Mr. Haliburton, 
 I am directed by this House to communicate 
 to you, that tney have had under their con- 
 sideration a work now issuing from the press, 
 of which you are the author, entitled ^An 
 Historical and Statistical Account of Nova Sco- 
 tia,^ which they think alike useful to the 
 Province, and honorable to yourself, and 
 that, to mark their approbation of this first 
 effort to describe the country, and develope 
 its resources, they have unanimously passed 
 a vote of thanks to you for this laudable 
 undertaking, which resolution will be read 
 to you by the Clerk. It affords me a great 
 deal of pleasure to add my opinion of the 
 work to that of the Representatives of the 
 people, who deem it an object of this hono- 
 rable notice, as the production of a native 
 of the Province." 
 
HAL

 an English edition had been issued 
 and was very favorably received in 
 Eng. For sometime the authorship 
 was assigned to an Am. gentleman in 
 London, until Judge H. visited the 
 mother country and became known as 
 the real author. For his Som Slick he 
 received nothing from the publisher, 
 as the work had not been copyrighted, 
 but Mr. Bentley presented him with a 
 silver salver, on which was an in- 
 scription written by the Rev. Richard 
 Barham, better known as the author 
 of the Ingoldsby Legends. Between 
 Barham, Theodore Hook and Judge 
 H. an intimacy sprang up. They fre- 
 quently dined together at the Athe- 
 naeum, to which they belonged, and 
 many good stories told by Hook and 
 Barham were remembered by Judge 
 H. long after death had deprived him 
 of their society. As regards Sam Slick^ 
 it was written anonymously ; the 
 author never expected that his name 
 would be known, or that his produc- 
 tions would escape the usual fate of 
 Colonial newspaper articles. The cha- 
 racter of the Yankee pedlar has some- 
 what changed since then, or at least, 
 in -28 yeai-s, the race of Sam Slick's 
 have as a general rule migrated west- 
 ward. Mrs. Trollope, Dickens and a 
 host of other severe critics have rubbed 
 off, or rather knocked off, the rough 
 edges of Am. manners in the older 
 states, and have made a change for the 
 better in the outward characteristics of 
 the Yankee. But veritable Sam Slick's 
 occasionally visit Can. and the Lower 
 Provinces. About 10 or 12 years ago 
 a Yankee sold a large number of 
 wooden clocks throughout N. S. and 
 Cape Breton. They were warranted 
 to keep accurate time for a year, and 
 hundreds of notes of hand were taken 
 for the price. The notes x>assed by 
 endorsement into third hands, but un- 
 fortunately the clocks would not go. 
 Actions were brought in several coun- 
 ties, and the fact that Setlrs clocks had 
 stopped caused as much lamentation 
 and dismay as a money panic. The 
 first case that came up was tried before 
 Judge H. much to th3 amusement of 
 the public, and to the edification of the 
 Y'ankee clockmaker, who had a long 
 homily read to him on the impropriety 
 of cheating Bluenoses with Y'ankce 
 
 clocks that would do anything sooner 
 than keep time. 
 
 While dealing with subjects that 
 relate to mankind in general and illus- 
 trate human nature, in his earlier 
 works, which were intended more for 
 Colonial readers than his later works, 
 which were likely to find a wider cir- 
 culation in Eng. than here, he con- 
 tinually pressed on his readers the 
 following truths : — 
 
 I. That our political institutions secure to 
 us practically a larger amount of freedom 
 than those of the Am. Republic. 
 
 II. That the resources of N. S. are very 
 great, and much neglected. 
 
 in. That we have as a people been wast- 
 ing our time and our energies in political 
 contests and discussions, instead of uniting 
 together to promote the material prosperity 
 of the province. 
 
 • Within the past 5 or 6 years the jus- 
 tice of these views has been practically 
 acknowledged ; and in spite of the 
 divisions and lethargy of the people of 
 B. A. (for they apply with equal force 
 to the whole of the Provinces), the 
 agricultural, horticultural and mineral 
 resourcesof those provinces are making 
 themselves known to the world. In 
 spite of Sam Slick's advice, the farmers 
 of N. S. especially, for more than 30 
 years devoted all their leisure and 
 thoughts to politics, unconscious that 
 there was gold under the very platforms 
 on which windy nothings were dealt 
 out to them by local rival statesmen. 
 In 1861 a N. Scotian laid down to drink, 
 and put his nose so near a lump of 
 gold that he could not help seeing it. 
 A reward to the man who was so, for- 
 tunate as to be thirsty, is contemplated 
 and has been discussed by the Legis- 
 lature. Now, matters are changing and 
 while questions of a wider scope < " - 
 cupy attention, hundreds are amassin;: 
 wealth by opening their eyes to the 
 vast and varied resources of the country. 
 E.xperience is proving that the value 
 attached by Sam Slick to the geogra- 
 phical position and natural advantages 
 of the Provinces, was not a mistaken 
 one. We are, however, more grateful 
 to those who amuse, than to those 
 who instruct us. Many persons, who 
 laughed at Sam Slicks jokes, did not 
 relish his truths ; and his popularity as 
 a writer was far greater out of N. S. 
 
HAL 
 
 169 
 
 HAL 
 
 than in it ; but it had ceased to depend 
 on the verdict of his countrymon. To 
 illustrate this, we may mention that, the 
 Univ. of King's Coll. (Winds.) his alma 
 matcr^ gave him an honorary M, A. 
 degree, and very soon after the Univ. 
 of Oxford gave him an honorary D. G. L. 
 As we have stated, on Judge H. leaving 
 for Eng. to take up his residence there, 
 he resigned his seat on the Supreme 
 Court Bench. Before leaving he ap- 
 plied for his pension, which he had 
 previous to his appointment enjoyed 
 as a former Judge of the Court of 
 Common Pleas. The pension was £3l)0 
 a year, and he urged on the govern- 
 ment in addition to his legal rights, 
 his claim as the historian of N. S., 
 and a colonial author. The claim was 
 resisted for 4 or 5 years, and when a 
 decision was a second time given in 
 his favor the case was carried to Eng. 
 on appeal. The Judicial Committee 
 decided it in his favour. We give 
 helow a list of Judge H.'s various 
 works and productions, together with 
 the opinions of competent critics on 
 them, which will speak to their merits 
 in a literary point of view. Several of 
 his works have been translated and 
 reproduced on the continent of Europe, 
 and have been equally appreciated. 
 
 Shortly after Judge H. took up his 
 residence in Eng. he was solicited to 
 come forward as a mem. of the House 
 of Commons, for the County of Mid- 
 dlesex, a proposal which he declined, 
 but at the general election of 1859 he 
 was induced to go into Parliament 
 mainly from his friendship with the 
 late Duke of Northumberland, who 
 offered him his support as a candidate 
 for Launceston, where the Duke's in- 
 fluence was very strong. The borough 
 was small, and the labours inrposedon 
 its representative were light. His am- 
 bition did not, however, lead him to 
 covet that distinction, and his health 
 and feelings rendered parliamentary 
 life somewhat irksome to him. In his 
 speech of acknowledgement, on the 
 occasion of his election, he thanked the 
 electors, " not merely in his own name, 
 but on behalf of 4,000,000 of British 
 subjects on the other side of the water, 
 who up to the present time had not 
 had one individual in the House of 
 Commons through whom they might 
 
 be heard." The new mem. for Laun- 
 ceston took his seat in the House as a 
 Conservative, but at the same time 
 declared himself to be " a representa- 
 tive of all parties rather than a party 
 man." During the session he joined in 
 some of the debates, and spoke occa- 
 sionally at public meetings. At a large 
 meeting at Tynemouth, Mr. William 
 Lindsay, M. P., having spoken of the 
 usefulness of the humourous works of 
 '■'■Sam Slick,'' the following charac- 
 teristic reply was elicited from Judge H. 
 
 " Mr. Lindsay has alluded to my books, 
 and said there was an object of usefulness in 
 them. In that he is right, for I should in- 
 deed feel ashamed of myself — it would be 
 very unsuitable and very incompatible with 
 the situation of a judge, which I have held 
 in another part of the world — if I should sit 
 down and write a jest book to make people 
 laugh. That would be a very undignified 
 employment for a judge and a very unpro- 
 fitable one ; but I thought I might do a very 
 great service to my countrymen — for I am a 
 native of the other side of the water — pro- 
 vided I could convey to them certain truths, 
 which, I thought, would either be too homely 
 for them to care much about, or too dry for 
 them, unless, like doctor's pills, they had a 
 Httle sugar put around them. I therefore 
 \vrapt them with a little humour, in order 
 that when people read them for amusement 
 they might find that they had learned some- 
 thing they did not know before. Otherwise 
 I should be ashamed to have written a mere 
 jest-book." 
 
 As we have stated. Judge H. died at 
 his residence in Isleworth, on the banks 
 of the Thames. There, during the 
 few years in which he had lived 
 amongst them, he had greatly endeared 
 himself to the people of the place — he 
 was ever ready in contributing to its 
 local institutions, not merely by pre- 
 siding over the meetings of the Philan- 
 thropic Soc, and aiding charitable 
 objects generally, but also by lecturing 
 and assisting in various ways the 
 Isleworth Reading Soc, and other 
 associations of a like character. He 
 was buried in Isleworth churchyard ; 
 and, in accordance with one of his last 
 wishes, his funeral was plain and unos- 
 tentatious. We close our sketch in 
 the words of a local chronicler : — 
 
 " The village of Isleworth will henceforth 
 be associated with the most pleasing reminis- 
 cences of Mr. Justice Haliburton ; and the 
 names of Cowley, Thompson, Pope and Wal- 
 
HAL 
 
 170 
 
 HAL 
 
 pole will find a kindred spirit in the world- 
 wide reputation of the author of ^' Sam SUck,'''' 
 who, like them, died on the banks of the 
 Thames." 
 
 There is a biography and portrait of 
 Judge H. in Tallis's National Portrait 
 Gallery, and Jones, R. A. has executed

 His mixture of soimd sense with genuine

 " I have ever read and valued the conver- 
 sations of Sam Slick not for their humour, 
 exquisite and racy as it is, in many of the 
 chapters — but for the deep instructive moral, 
 the sound lessons of practical education they 
 convey to the country. There is not pro- 
 vincial custom, opinion nor prejudice, op- 
 posed to steady and persevering industry, 
 and of course to the progress of individual 
 and general prosperity, which is not exposed 
 and treated with consummate tact and ridi- 
 cule. The self-sufficiency of Sam Slick — his 
 larfs at the Bluenoses and the Englishers — 
 his continual prijfing of the New Englanders, 
 and the pictures he draws of the superior 
 (ndeness, industry, and craft of the latter, are 
 no doubt intended to teach the Colonist, 
 that it is in vain to expect tliat he will even 
 succeed, in the race of national rivalry, till 
 he learns and practices the same habits. The 
 natural advantages of this country. Nova 
 Scotia, are drawn in glowing colours — but 
 these are ever set off with jokes upon indo- 
 lence and want of energy and speculation, 
 too highly coloured perhaps, but still done 
 with sufficient skill ' to point the moral.' I 
 quote a few extracts to justify these reflec- 
 tions and to elevate our old friend Slick, 
 from the character of a humourist, to that of 
 a lecturer upon habits and the true economy 
 of human life. The knowledge of letters 
 and of books, be it ever recollected, is only 
 a means to an end. The state diffuses edu- 
 cation or intelligence to render the popula- 
 tion more diligent, virtuous and saving — so 
 that they may become better purveyors to 
 their own fortunes and to the general trea- 
 sury ; and a moralist or humorist like Sam 
 Slick who satyrizes personal faults and habits, 
 and induces change and amendment, by ex- 
 hibiting a contrast of a happier state of 
 things, is entitled to the public gratitude — 
 even tho' some mil think the sketches may 
 be too strongly drawn, or quarrel with the 
 political tendencies which some of his lec- 
 tures exhibit, — still the greater virtiies ought 
 to excuse the minor offences." — G. K. Young:

 Hall, Archibald, M. D., L. P. C.S, (Edin.) 
 B. at xMontreal, 8 Nov., 1812. Was ed. 
 chiefly at the Royal Gram. Sch. of his 
 native city, which he attended from 
 1818 to 1839. Having selected medicine 
 
HAL 
 
 172 
 
 HAL 
 
 as his profession, he was forthwith 
 apprenticed to the late W. Robertson, 
 M. D., one of the foremost physicians 
 and accoucheurs then in Montreal, 
 under whose auspices his studies were 
 directed, following the lectures of the 
 McGill Univ. for the 3 succeeding 
 years. As Chemical instruction was 
 scarcely obtainable in this country, in 
 those early days of its medical history, 
 in 1832, after the visitation of the 
 Asiatic Cholera had ceased, he was 
 sent to Edinburgh, then generally 
 considered the most celebrated sch. of 
 Medicine in Gt. Brit, to follow up his 
 studies. He passed the Coll. of Surgeons 
 there, in April, 1842 : by the middle 
 of May, he had passed with great 
 eclat the 2 examinations demanded by 
 the rules of the Univ., and on the 24th 
 of August he graduated, and imme- 
 diately after returned to Can. to pursue 
 the active duties of his profession. As 
 a collateral branch of Medical study. 
 Dr. H. was much devoted to the na- 
 tural sciences, and especially attached 
 himself to Botany, Zoology, and Me- 
 teorology. Bringing with him from 
 Edinburgh a fine collection of the 
 
 Elants indigenous to the neighbour- 
 ood of that classic city, he began soon 
 after his return the foundation of an 
 herbarium of the plants growing about 
 Montreal, and sent home to his Alma 
 Mattr, in the course of a few years, a 
 very large and carefully preserved col- 
 lection. Zoology appears to have been 
 his chief delight, as in 1839, we find 
 him presented with the silver medal 
 of the Natural History Soc. (Mont.) 
 as the successful competitor for a prize 
 offered by that Society for the best 
 Essay " On the Zoology of the District of 
 Montreal This work is a voluminous 
 one, but in consequence of the limited 
 time allowed to send in the essay, its 
 contents were restricted to the Mam- 
 mals and Birds, and so generally accu- 
 rate is it, that we believe only two 
 known species of Birds are omitted, and 
 as many among the quadrupeds, the 
 omission arising entirely from their 
 excessive rarity. This manuscript es- 
 say after lying'^in the closets of the Soc. 
 for nearly 25 years was finally printed 
 in the pages of the Can. Naturalist, the 
 publication occupying a considerable 
 portion of the numbers of that valuable 
 
 journal for several years. It was con- 
 cluded in 1864. In 1836 he was called 
 upon to share with the late Dr. A. F. 
 Holmes his Professorship in the McGill 
 Univ. He accordingly lectured that 
 winter upon Materia Medica and Thera- 
 peutics. Upon the death of his old pre- 
 ceptor Dr. Robertson, and the conse- 
 quent change of Professorships, Dr. 
 H. was called to fill the chair of Che- 
 mistry which he continued to do until 
 the decease of the late Dr. McCuUoch, 
 in 1854, when he was unanimously 
 called upon by his colleagues to 
 discharge the duties of the chair of 
 Obstetrics, previously held by that 
 esteemed gentleman. Attached to this 
 chair is the University Lying-in-Hos- 
 pital, under the control of the Prof, 
 serving to illustrate the precepts taught 
 in the class room. In 1835 Dr. H. was 
 elected one of the attending physicians 
 to the Mont. General Hospital, the 
 duties of which,sometimes exceedingly- 
 onerous, were faithfully discharged 
 for a period of 1 6 years, when he re- 
 tired upon the consulting staff, of which 
 he is now the senior mem. He also 
 acted for about 12 years as the Physi- 
 cian to the Ladies Benevolent Sooiety, 
 and to the old House of Industry, dur- 
 ing the existence of that institution. 
 Finally in 1856, he was called to the 
 Vice-Presidency of the Coll. of Phys. 
 and Surg, of L. C, and was elected 
 President of the same in 1859. The 
 term of office lasts for 3 years, and is 
 emphatically the highest gift at the 
 disposal of the profession. As a medical 
 writer Dr. H. is best known as the ed. | 
 of The British American Journal of 
 Medical and Physicial Science (Mont.)J 
 which he established in April, 18 i5, 
 and conducted with great credit and] 
 ability from that time until its suspen- 
 sion in 1852, and again, from 1860 
 until it finally expired 2 years after- 
 wards. This periodical was the ablest 
 of its kind ever published in Can., and 
 had for contributors the first medical 
 men in the Province.

 B. at Muirhead, Lanarkshire, Scot, 
 16 Jany., 1783. D. at Scarborough, 
 near Toronto, 2 April, 1857. His father 
 had been a stone-mason but gave up 
 that trade and leased a farm upon 
 which the subject of this notice was 
 born. After receiving his elementary 
 ed. at the Grammar Sch. of Stonehouse, 
 in his native county, he studied the 
 classics and natural philosophy at the 
 Univ's. of Glasgow and Edinburgh, at 
 the latter of which he also studied and 
 completed his medical ed. From April 
 1808 till Nov. 1809 he was Asst. Sur- 
 geon to H. M. Hospital ship Tromp. He 
 practised for a short time at Cornwall, 
 Eng. ; and during the Peninsular war, 
 having volunteered his services as a 
 surgeon, served with the Brit, army in 
 Spain and Portugal. In 1827 he emi- 
 grated to the U.^ S.. and in 1830 he 
 removed to York U. C. and settled at 
 Scarborough, where he continued to 
 reside until his death. Throughout 
 life, he devoted a large portion of his 
 time to literature and literary pursuits. 
 He early cultivated the muses, and was 
 a frequent contributor to the news- 
 paper press, in whatever place he 
 resided. He was the author of several 
 works, a list of which we give below, j 
 In Can. he contributed several series I 
 of letters on literary, political and other 
 subjects to the newspaper and periodi- 
 cal press, under the nom-de-plume of 
 " Guy Pollock,"' commencing first 
 we believe in the Can. Literary Mag. 
 (York) in 1833, and subsequently in 
 the Courier of Upper Canada, the Herald, 
 the Palladium and the British Colonist., 
 all, at one time or another, published 
 in Toronto. He left a large number 
 of MS writings, written in both Britain 
 and Am., poems, novels, dramas, essays 
 on politics, agriculture &c. These we

 Law. Toronto^ 185-2, pp. 530, 8vo. 
 
 " A faithful digest of all the decisions of 
 our Courts from the earliest period since 
 which we have an authentic record, must 
 obviously be of great value, not merely to 
 the lawyer,* but to officials of all kinds, and 
 to even- one vho is likely to come in personal 
 contact with the law. • • • • xhe work

 the Gommon Law Procedure Acts of 
 1857. Do., 1858, pp. 828, 8vo. 
 
 *• These are the acts which have revolu- 
 tionised the law of Upper Canada, after their 
 progenitors had exercised a Uke radical in- 
 fluence in the old countrj-. They are in effect 
 an amalgamation of our Procedure Acts of 
 1852 and 1854, together with an act apphdng 
 them in a great measure to the county courts 
 of Canada. The work is therefore almost as 
 xiseful to the English as to the Canadian 
 lawj-er, and is not only the most recent, but 
 by far the most complete edition which we 
 have seen of these important acts of Parlia- 
 ment. The editor has not been content with 
 industriously collecting the numerous de- 
 cisions which are now scattered through our 
 reports upon these statutes, but has displayed 
 both skill and judgment in their arrangement, 
 and in deducing, wherever it was possible, 
 those principles, of which the decisions are 
 either suggestive or illustrative.'" — The Jurist

 "ilr. Harrison's work is, in fact, a full

 Hart, Adolphus M. A Can. author. B. 
 at Three Rivers, L. C, about 1816. Is 
 the youngest son of the late Ezekiel 
 Hart, Esq. Had a large practice as an 
 advocate from 1840 to 1850, when he 
 removed to the U. S., and was admitted 
 by courtesy as a Counsellor-at-Law in 
 the States of Missouri and N. Y. While 
 residing in N. Y. and afterwards at 
 St. Louis was nominated Commis- 
 sioner of Deeds by the Governors of 
 California and Louisiana respectively. 
 In 1854 he sided with the Democratic 
 party in N. Y., in the memorable con- 
 test for the Governorship of that State, 
 
 and wrote several electioneering pam- 
 phlets in the interest of Mr. Seymour, 
 the candidate of the party, which had 
 a large circulation. In"^ 1857 Mr. H. 
 returned to Can., and is now pr^ictising

 notes, and is written in a clear, concise style, 
 with sufficient spirit to render it acceptable 
 in the hands of one who may read merely for

 it undoubtedly is, the only work of the kind

 put this little treatise alongside of a similar 
 thing which lately came from the pen of 
 Dr. Hamilton of London ; and it is sapng a

 knowledge attainable by the ordinary exer- 
 cise of his faculties, on the materials fur- 
 nished by the surrounding universe, can 
 co-exist and mutually illustrate each other. 
 Mr. Harvey has done so. in the work before 
 us, in a manner that will call forth the admi- 
 ration and applause of every intelligent 
 reader. He has succeeded in making ' the 
 new familiar and the familiar new.' Topics

 eleven in number, their subjects have a wide

 stance characterised by breadth of view, 
 clearness of thought, and artistic purity and 
 beauty of expression. Mr. Harvey evidently 
 knows how to attract and command popular 
 audiences, and he is certainly not ignorant 
 of the most approved methods of instructing 
 and interesting them. His themes are : 
 ' Edmund Burke and Oliver Goldsmith,' 'Wit . 
 and Humour,' ' English, Scotch and Ameri-

 '' The plan is the production of Mr. Alfred 
 Hawkins, who has carefully compiled the 
 topographical portion of it from original sur- 
 veys, and laid down with equal accuracy the 
 operations of the English naval and military 
 forces. He has represtnted also the de- 
 fences of the French under Montcalm, and 
 indeed omitted not one single point, how- 
 ever minute, that may serve to explain the 
 proceedmgs of the attacking and defending 
 parties. The field works of the British troops 
 at the Island of Orleans ; the entrenchments 
 and line of battle of the French army ; 
 the redoubts, batteries, and other defences, 
 which extend to a distance of nearly nine 
 miles ; all these various explanatory details 
 are delineated with a skill and accuracy that 
 is truly astonishing. The plan is still further 
 embellished with an exquisite miniature 
 copy of West's celebrated picture, ' The 
 Death of Wolfe on the Field of Battle,' and 
 with a sketch of the troops in the act of 
 ascending the lofty precipices to gain the 
 heights of Abraham. This sketch is one of the 
 most spirited things of the sort we ever re- 
 member to have seen, and gives a vivid idea 
 of the perilous nature of the achievement. 
 A vignette, in the corner of the plan, re- 
 presents Britannia, supported by the lion, 
 pointing out to the victorious troops the 
 citadel of Cape Diamond -, Wolfe's name is 
 inscribed on her shield, on the rays of which 
 are emblazoned the names of the gallant regi- 
 ments which shared the glories of the day."

 II • * • the work is indubitably one of 
 the most remarkable English poems ever 
 
 , written out of Great Britain. Tliis copy was 
 given to the writer of the present article by 
 Mr. Nathaniel Hawthorne, to whose recom- 
 mendation of tills, to him and to us, un- 
 knowTi Canadian poet, our readers and En- 
 gUsh literature generally are beholden for 
 theu" first introduction to a most curious 
 work. * Saul ' is in three parts, each of five 
 acts, and altogether about ten thousand 
 lines long. In it the greatest subject, in the 
 whole range of history, for a drama, has been 
 treated with a poetical power and a depth of 
 psychological knowledge which are often 
 quite startling, though, we may say, inevita- 
 bly, below the mark of the subject-matter, 
 which is too great to be done full justice to, 
 in any but the words in which the original 
 history is related. * * * There are two 
 things, however, which he proves that he 
 knows, namely, the Bible and liuman nature ; 
 and a poet cannot be said to be really un- 
 educated who knows these well. Shake- 
 speare he also knows far better than most 
 men know him , for he has discerned and 
 
 1^' adopted his method as no other dramatist 
 has done." — North Brit. Rev.

 '' Of poetry like this there is very far too 
 much in Count Filippo. We weary of watch- 
 ing this continual strain for the grasp of 
 two thoughts at once, as the eye wearies of 
 long looking at stereoscopic figures, and we 
 long for the simple statement of a great 
 truth, or the hearty and direct expression of 
 strong feeling. This is the great fault of 
 the drama, to which is to be added the 
 defect of characterization first mentioned. 
 Briefly, too, as to the rest, the author does 
 not show in wise or philosophical views of 
 life the fruits of profound knowledge or 
 instinctive comprehension of its relations. 
 This is to judge the play by a very higli 
 standard, it is true ; but its merits are so 
 great that it can be gauged by no lower. If 
 it be the work of a young man, and he has 
 the genius to create a style of his own, he 
 may become the first dramatic poet of the 
 Sige:'— Albion, (N. Y.) 
 
 III. Jephtliah's Daughter. London 
 and Montreal^ 1865, pp. 94, 12mo. 
 
 " There is great art in the development of 
 the daughter's feelings from her first natural 
 terror of death to the hallowed resignation 
 with which she finally prepares for it, still 
 casting a sad, submissive glance on the fair 
 world she quits." After quoting the passage 
 beginning '' Oh ! think how hard it is to die 
 when young!" &c., the critic says — "This 
 is very touching, and goes direct to the 
 heart. Nor is there less nature and beauty 
 of expression in the lines that record her 
 first conviction of inevitable doom 
 
 ' Deep darkness gathers o'er my pi'ospect, 
 mother/ &c. 
 
 Pity and filial love at length reconcile the 
 victim to the altar. There is a sense too of 
 noble pride in her sacrifice ; she gives her- 
 self for her country no less than for her 
 father. * • * There is no need after our 
 quotations, to say that the character of 
 Jephthah's daughter displays both imagina- 
 tion and feeling." — Athen., (Lon.)

 " We look upon this volume • • • • 
 as a very interesting contribution to our 
 colonial literature. It deals with the life 
 and actions of a good and great colonist, who 
 distinguished himself, during the most stirr- 
 ing periods of our colonial history, as a 
 soldier, statesman and jurist ; and in the 
 eyes of those who knew him best, he was 
 most admired for the many virtues which 
 adorned his character in social life. In 
 sketching the career of his hero, the author's 
 hand seems to have been tremulous witli 
 aiFection ; but the judgment which charac- 
 terises his pages is unclouded, and the styh> 
 is easy, correct, and sometimes eloquent." —

 HiNCKS, Hon. Francis, C. B. Formerly 
 Slatesm ni and journ. in Can. B. in 
 Irel. Is the 5th and youngest son of 
 the late Dr. Hincks, of Belfast. Coming 
 to Can. on a visit, in 1830, he deter- 
 mined upon entering into business and 
 taking up his residence in the Pro- 
 vince, which he did in the following 
 year. On the appointment of Loid 
 Dniham to the Govt, of Can. Mr. H. 
 founded the Examiner neAvspaperiTor.) 
 of which he became the principal t d. 
 This paper was a special organ of the 
 lirK?ral party and in Mr. H's. hands 
 wielded much influence and power. 
 It fuinished such decided evidence of 
 knowledge and ability on his part that 
 it is said' Lord Sydenham was most 
 anxious to obtain' his services in his 
 loiY ship's Council in I8il. In that 
 year Mr. II. was first returned to Par- 
 liament as a mem. of the I^g. Assem. 
 in which he continued to hold a seat. 
 
 with but slight interruption, until his 
 retirement from public life in Can., in 
 Nov., 1855. In 1843 he proceeded to 
 Montreal where he conducted the 
 Times for a short time. In the fol- 
 lowing year he established the Pilot, a 
 paper of which he was chief ed. It 
 was a strong party organ and did a 
 vast deal in restoring Lafontaine and 
 Baldwin to power. In 1848, upon 
 returning to office, Mr. H. retired from 
 the press. He was twice Inspector 
 Genl., and for some time Prime Min. 
 of Can. In 1855 he was appointed Go 
 vernor of the Windward Islands where 
 he remained until 1862, when he was 
 transferred to the governorship of 
 British Guiana.

 Hind, Hknuy Youle, M. A., F. R. G. S. A 
 Can. Exploror and Geologist. B. in 
 Nottingham, Eng., June, 1823. Until 
 the age of 14, with his cousin, Mr. J. 
 R. Hind, the eminent astronomer, 
 was the private pupil of the Rev. W. 
 Butler, head-master of the Notting- 
 hamshire Grammar Sch. On leaving 
 
 that institution was sent to the Royal 
 Commercial Sch. at Leipzig, where 
 he remained for 2 years, acquiring 
 a knowledge of German, French, 
 Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, &c. 
 Upon returning home studied" for a 
 few years, again with Mr. Butler, and 
 then at Cambridge, entering Queen's 
 Coll. Owing to circumstances over 
 which he had no control, he only 
 remained a single year at the Univ. 
 In 1845 he went to France to acquire 
 a more perfect knowledge of the French 
 language. So much travelling in early 
 life must have created a distaste for 
 sedentary pursuits, for, in 1846, we 
 find him starting for Am., and spending 
 a year or more in wandering through 
 Mexico and portions of the Southern 
 States. In 1847 he came to Can. He 
 was teacher in one of the common 
 sch's. of U. C. for some months, when 
 he became the successful candidate for 
 the office of mathematical master and 
 lecturer in chemistry and natural phi- 
 losophy in the Provincial Normal Sch. 
 for U. G., then about to be established 
 at Toronto. He remained at this insti- 
 tution for about 5 years when he re- 
 ceived the appointment of Prof, of 
 Chemistry and Geology in the Univ. 
 of Trinity Coll. in the same city. Mr. 
 H. was selected by the Govt, of Can. 
 in 1857, to accompany the expedition 
 despatched by that govt, to survey the 
 country between Lake Superior and 
 the Red River of the North, in the ca- 
 pacity of Geologist and Naturalist. In 
 1858, he was placed in charge of the 
 Assinniboine and Saskatchawan Ex- 
 ploring Expedition, and was instructed 
 to make a Topographical and Geolo- 
 gical Exploratory Survey of the coun- 
 try between the Red River of the 
 North and the elbow of the South 
 Branch of the Saskatchawan. His re- 
 ports on these expeditions have been 
 published by the Can. Govt., and also 
 laid before the House of Commons, 
 and published by command, with se- 
 veral additional maps, both geologi- 
 cal and topographical, executed by Ar- 
 rowsmith, under Mr. H's. supervision. 
 These maps embody all the recent 
 discoveries in that region up to 1860. 
 In the last named year he was elected 
 a F. R. G. S., and superintended per- 
 sonally the publication of his Nar- 
 
HIN

 HIN 
 
 rative of the Canadian Red River Explor- 
 ing Expedition, &c., which \nth his 
 other principal works were brought 
 out in London by the Longmans. In 
 18GI Mr. H. conducted an Exploratory 
 Survey up the Moisie River to the 
 table-land of the Labrador Peninsula, 
 with a view to collect materials for a 
 description of the eastern part of B. A. 
 In 1864 he removed to N. B., and in 
 accordance with instructions from the 
 Provincial Govt., made a Geological 
 Survey of that Province. During the 
 years 1852-3-4-5 he ed. the Can. Journal^ 
 the organ of the Can. Institute. (Tor.) 
 In 1854 he was the successful compe- 
 titor for a prize of £100, offered by the 
 corporation of Toronto, for a report on 
 the best means of preserving the har- 
 bour of that city. Among minor literary 
 efforts he has written in successive 
 years of the Canadian Almanac, (Tor.), 
 the articles on " Th£ Future of Western 
 Canada,'" " The Great North West," and 
 " Our Raihcay Policy. " Many of his 
 lectures on various subjects have ap- 
 peared in Can. journals and periodi- 
 cals. In 1861 he undertook the ed. 
 management of The Journal of the 
 Boards of Arts and Manufactures, (Tor.) 
 which, we believe, he conducted up 
 to his departure for N. B.

 ** These explorations were undertaken for

 geological structure and climatal conditions 
 of these regions are carefully noted." — Can.

 Hogan, John Sheridan. A Can. journ. 
 B. near Dublin, Irel., about 1815. 
 Murdered, near Toronto, Dec, 1859. 
 He early obtained employment as a 
 newsboy in the office of the Provincial 
 Wesleyan (Ham.) : having learnt the 
 printing trade he was promoted to be 
 foreman of the office, and subse- 
 quently was admitted as a contributor 
 to the paper. He studied law, and in 
 1844 was admitted as an Atty., and 
 practised for some years in Hamilton. 
 Giving up that profession, however, 
 he proceeded to Toronto and estab- 
 lished the United Empire, a weekly 
 journal, which advocated High Church 
 Toryism. This paper was ably con- 
 ducted and met with fair support ; it 
 eventually became the property of the 
 present prop, of the Leader. For some 
 years Mr. H. acted as Parliamentary 
 correspondent for several journals, and 
 owing to his bold, bitter and unsparing \ 
 style of writing, made few friends and j 
 many enemies. About this time ( 1 850) i 
 he contributed some able articles on ! 
 the aspect of affairs in Can; to Blachr i 
 wood's Mag., which did much to estab- ' 
 lish his reputation as a public writer. ' 
 He also wrote The New Year's Ode in ' 
 that year for the same periodical. In ' 
 1855 he was awarded the first prize by ' 
 the Paris Exhibition Committee of Can. 
 for his Essay on Canada, and about the 
 same time became Ed. of the Daily i 
 Colonist (Tor.), a position which he held 
 for some years, and which he only 
 relinquished on account of a difference 
 of opinion with the proprietors of the 
 paper. At the general election in 1857 
 he was returned as a mem. to the Leg. 
 Assem. in the Reform interest.

 Holmes, Andrew Fernando, M. D., LL. D. 
 A Can. Medical Practitioner. B. at 
 Cadiz, 1797. D. at Montreal, 9 Sept. 
 1860. Came to Can. with his parents 
 in 1801, and after receiving his ed. 
 at the Royal Grammar Sch. (Mont.), 
 proceeded to Edinburgh, where he 
 took his medical degree. He was an 
 ardent student of Botany, Geology 
 and Mineralogy, and brought with 
 him to Can. on his return, an extensive 
 herbarium of plants, and a large collec- 
 tion of minerals and geological speci- 
 mens which formed the nucleus of a 
 splendid collection which he subse- 
 quently presented to McGill Coll. In 
 conjunction with others he founded 
 
 and was for a long period an active 
 mem. and ollice-bearer of the Natural 
 History Soc. (Mont.) His catalogue of 
 the minerals and geological specimens 
 in its museum is a monument of un- 
 tiring industry. In 1824, with the 
 assistance of some other members of 
 the profession, he established the Me- 
 dical Institution of the same city, and 
 delivered courses of lectures before it, 
 which were afterwards recognized by 
 the Univ. of Edinburgh, on the prin- 
 ciple of two courses for one of that 
 Univ. In 1828 the Institution became 
 merged in the Univ. of McGill, and 
 from that time up to 1844, Dr. H. 
 filled the chair of Chemistry and Ma- 
 teria Medica, when he was called to 
 that of Principles and Practice of Me- 
 dicine, a position, the duties of which 
 he continued to discharge until his 
 death. From the time of the new orga- 
 nization of the Univ., he was Dean 
 of the Faculty. Besides controversial 
 writings on medical subjects. Dr. H. 
 was the author of many important pa- 
 pers, which, from time to time, ap- 
 peared in the medical periodicals. Se- 
 veral of them appeared in the Medical 
 and Surgical Journal (Bos.), before any 
 medical serial was published in Can ; 
 one paper especially which attracted 
 some notice at the time " The History 
 of the Cholera at Montreal, was a contri- 
 bution to that journal. His first paper 
 " On the intrauterine crying of the child,'^ 
 appeared in the Med. Journal (Edin.) 
 He contributed some interesting cases 
 on " Heart Disease," and an elaborate 
 paper on " Fatal Jaundice," to the Med. 
 Chronicle (Mont.) To the well-known 
 Brit. Am. Journal of the same city, he 
 contributed the following : \. On 
 fleshy tubercle of the uterus ; — 2. A case 
 of wound of the heart without rupture of 
 the pericardium ; — 3. A case of femoral 
 hernia ; — 4. Obstruction of the appendix 
 vermiformis ; — 5. A case of the employ- 
 ment of chloroform. Dr. H. was an 
 honorary mem. of many scientific and 
 literary bodies on both sides of the 
 Atlantic.

 grated to Can., in 1841. For a short time 
 resided upon Amherst Island, U. C, 
 then at Kingston, and finally took up 
 his residence in Montreal. At the 
 latter city he was afforded an oppor- 
 tunity, for which he had always 
 longed, to devote his whole time to Eye 
 and Ear Surgery. In 1861 was ap- 
 pointed Medical Supdt. of the Lunatic 
 Asylum at St. John's, L. C, a position

 HOW 
 
 " Here " says his biographer, " he spent 
 the Krst thirteen years of his life ; and here 
 was nurtured the robust constitution which, 
 for half a century, has seemed to defy mental 
 and bodilv fatigue. Here was imbibed the 
 love of nature, of field sports, of the sea, of 
 woodland rides and rambles, which are still 
 retained. Here was nourished the poetic 
 spirit, tfiat, in all the earUer portions of his 
 life, broke out into verse ; and which, though 
 chastened and subdued by a severe pohtical 
 traimng. colors all his speeches and writings 
 still. He received no regular education, 
 having to walk two miles to get to school in 
 summer, and in winter being kept at home. 
 But he had his father to talk to in the long 
 evenings, and books to study. Hard exer- 
 cise and desultor}' reading alternated, and a 
 well-stored mind was ever present with him, 
 upon the large resources of which he could 
 at any moment draw." 
 
 Of his ancestry Mr. H. gives the fol- 
 lowing account in one of his speeches 
 in Eng. : 
 
 " During the old times of persecution, 
 four brothers, bearing my name, left the 
 southern counties of England, and settled 
 in four of the old New England States. Their 
 descendants number thousands, and are 
 scattered from Maine to California. My 
 father was the only descendant of that stock, 
 who, at the Kevolution, adhered to the side 
 of England. His bones rest in the Halifax 
 churchyard. I am his only sui-viving son." 
 
 We may add that his father, who 
 d. in 1833/was for many years King's 
 Printer and Postmaster Genl. of N. S. 
 When 13, he was placed in the Gazette 
 office, where he worked for 10 weeks 
 at the printing business, occasionally 
 assisting his brother in the post office, 
 and sometimes, during his absence, 
 taking charge of both offices. Mr. H. 
 made his first appearance in print 
 while still an apprentice, by the pub- 
 lication of a little poem, entitled Mel- 
 ville Island, which Mr. Annand informs 
 us attracted general attention : 
 
 " This island stands at the head of the 
 North-West Arm. Prisoners were confined 
 there during the last French and American 
 wars. The situation and incidents connected 
 with the island were poetical, and perhaps 
 the most was made of them. Other pieces 
 in prose and verse followed and were pub- 
 lished in the newspapers of the period under 
 anonymous signatm-es. He thus trained him- 
 self by the practice of composition, rather 
 than by the study of language."' 
 
 Whilst on this subject we can state 
 that some of his later poems, written 
 
 occasionally during his long, varied 
 and eventful career, have been very 
 generally admired. The Land of our 
 Fathers^ lareathes a fine national spirit ; 
 The Song for the Centenary^ of the found- 
 ing of Halifax, written in 1849, and 
 which has been set to music, is a 
 patriotic outburst of which any nation 
 might feel proud : 
 
 " Hail to the clay ! when the Britons came over, 
 And planted their. standard with sea-foam Mill wel ! 
 Above and around us iheir spirits s-hall hover, 
 Rejoicing to mark how we honor it yet. 
 Beneath it the emblems they ihcrish'J are 
 
 waving, — 
 The Kose ot Old England the roadside perfumes; 
 The Shamrock and Thistle the north winds are 
 
 braving ; 
 Securely the Mayflower blushes and blooms." 
 
 Of his comic squibs and political lam- 
 poons The Lord of the Bed-chamber, 
 written on Lord Falkland, who was 
 at one time Lt. Gov. of N. S., is the 
 most amusing. From the compositor's 
 room, Mr. H. soon found his way to 
 the ed. sanctum. In 1 829, he purchased 
 the Weekly Chronicle ; and changing the 
 name to the Acadian, commenced his 
 career as a public writer. During the 
 year in which he ed. that paper, he 
 made no attempts at political writing. 
 In Jany. 1828, he purchased the Nova 
 Scotian journal, from Mr. G. R. Young, 
 for jGIOoO, a large sum for a provincial 
 newspaper at that period. Disposing 
 of his share in the Acadian, he became 
 sole ed. and proprietor of the Nova 
 Scotian, and continued as such for many 
 years. Of his efforts and labours to 
 overcome popular prejudice against his 
 youth, supposed inability and inexpe- 
 rience in the management of so large 
 and important an organ of the public, 
 undoubtedly no one but himself could 
 tell. Let it suffice however for us to 
 say that by dint of immense toil, in- 
 domitable energy and self reliance, he 
 surmounted all the difficulties of his 
 position, and established his paper on 
 a sure and solid foundation. Mr. An- 
 nand draws a lively picture of his busy 
 and active life during the early por- 
 tion of his editorial career : 
 
 '* British, foreign, and colonial newspapers 
 and periodicals, were daily read. The de- 
 bates in the House of Assembly, and im- 
 portant trials in the courts, were reported 
 by his own hand, and his position naturally 
 brought him into familiar intercourse with 
 nearly all the public men of the day. The 
 establishment of agencies, and the transac

 tion of business, in the interior, compelled 
 him to travel over the inland districts and to 
 visit all the seaport towns. In these jour- 
 neys many valuable aequaintances A^ere 
 made, and much information was acquired. 
 Gradually he became familiar, not only witli 
 the people best worth knowing, and from 
 whom anything could be learnt, but with the 
 whole face of his native country ; and with 
 the pohtical literature of all countries which 
 expressed their opinions in the English lan- 
 guage. Such leisure as he had was given to 
 more serious investigations, or to the attrac- 
 tive novelties of the day. I have often seen 
 him, during this period, worn out with labor 
 drawing draughts of refreshment alternately 
 from Bulwer's last novel or from Grotius on 
 National Law. His constitution was vigorous, 
 his zeal unflagging. It was no uncommon 
 thing for liim to be a month or two in the 
 saddle; or, after a rubber of racquets, in 
 which he excelled, and of which he was very 
 fond, to read and write for four or five con- 
 secutive days without going out of his house. 
 " Seven years of this kind of mental train- 
 ing, which preceded his first noticeable dis- 
 play as a public speaker, did much to repair 
 a very defective education. I have glanced 
 over the files of the Nova Scotian from 1828 
 to 1835, and, to any body who will do the 
 same, the process of intellectual cultivation 
 and development, will be very apparent. 
 
 " In the volume for 1828, there are almost 
 no politics. Those sketches of country towns 
 and rural scenery, which, under the headin<^ 
 of '' Western and Eastern Rambles," enliven- 
 ed the pages of the Nova Scotian for several 
 years, and enlightened a good many worthy 
 people who never go from home as to the 
 beauties and fertility of their own country, 
 were commenced in this year. So was the 
 Club, a series of papers, after the model of 
 Blackwood's Noctes Ambrosianaj, and to 
 which Sam Slick, Doctor Grigor, Lawrence 
 O'Connor Doyle, and Captain Kincaid, all of 
 whom subsequently distinguishhd themselves 
 m other fields, are said to have contributed. 
 There was, perhaps, too much of personality in 
 these dialogues, but there was unquestion- 
 ably a good deal of wit, humor and vigorous 
 writing. There is also in the earlier files, 
 some beautiful poetry, by Henry Clinch, 
 then a student at King's College, and now 
 Rector of South Boston, a gentleman whose 
 productions I hope yet to see in some col- 
 lected form in every library in the Province. 
 " In 1829, Huskisson's system was pro- 
 mulgated, and Mr. Howe, who had previously 
 been an admirer of Adam Smith, became 
 thenceforward an ardent Free Trader in 
 which faith he has continued down to' the 
 present time. In this year he published 
 Haliburton's History of Nova Scotia, losing 
 heavily by the speculation, the edition being, 
 at that early period, too large. The book, 
 however was invaluable." 
 13* 
 
 197 HOW 
 
 Henceforth, his pen became a power 
 in the province, and his reputation ex- 
 tended. In 1830 he commenced in his 
 paper a series of " Legislative Reviews " 
 which were continued from year to 
 year, and were the means of bringinf^ 
 before tlie people the short-comings ol" 
 public men and the necessity of various 
 reforms. In 1836 he was tried for libel 
 by the municipal body of Ilalifa.x 
 under which great neglect, misma- 
 nagement and corruption had been 
 generated. He defended his own cause, 
 and had the satisfaction not only of 
 gaining his case, but of arousing such 
 a sLorm of public indignation against 
 the effete and disordered system of 
 civic govt, as eventually extinguished 
 It, in no very long time. For his 
 pubhc-spirited and fearless conduct on 
 this occasion he was presented with a 
 service of plate by his countrymen. 
 At the end of 184 1, Mr. H. retired from 
 the ed. management of the Nova 
 Scotian^ and disposed of the paper. 
 Subsequently Mr. Annand became its 
 proprietor. In 1844, Mr. H. was in- 
 duced by the parliamentary leaders of 
 the liberal party, to resume'his journa- 
 listic functions, and from that time 
 until 1856 he ed. his old paper, and in 
 addition the Morning Chronicle, a new- 
 journal, which had been established, 
 also the property of Mr. Annand. In 
 both these papers, Mr. H. waged an 
 uncompromising warfare against the 
 unconstitutional administration of 
 Lord Falkland : 
 
 " Those who glance over the files for 1844 
 and 1845, will find in them everywhere trace.« 
 of the activity and fecundity of a vigorou.s 
 mind, resolutely directed to one object. 
 Mr. Howe's pen, ever playful and energetic, 
 was wielded with great eflfect, and the orga- 
 nized band of scribblers that the Governor 
 had gathered around him, soon began to dis- 
 cover that they were to have no child's play. 
 He pelted them with prose one day and 
 poetry the next, so that they were puzzled 
 to decide whether he had studied Junius to 
 most advantage or Hanbury WiUiams." 
 
 Mr. H. first entered the N. S. legis- 
 lature in 1835, and sat as a mem. of 
 the Assem. with but slight interrup- 
 tion, from that time until 1863, when 
 he received an appointment from Her 
 Majesty as Fishery Commissioner. He 
 was for a lengthened period the leader 
 of the Liberal party, once Speaker of

 the Assem., a mem. of several ad 
 ministrations, and, we believe, twice 
 Prime Minister of his native province. 
 He laboured long and earnestly for 
 the principle of Responsible Govt., and 
 ii was owing to his great and unceas- 
 ing efforts that that principle was at 
 length conceded to the B. A. Colonies 
 If to have done nothing else for his 
 country, surely that of itself is suffi- 
 cient to cause his name to be honored 
 while living, and his memory revered, 
 when dead, by all true Canadians, to 
 the latest time. He was one of the 
 first to promote the establishment of 
 steam communication and the con- 
 veyance of mail matter by steamships 
 between Europe and Am. He early 
 
 Projected an intercolonial railway 
 etween Can. and the Maritime Pro- 
 vinces, and was a strong and able 
 advocate for the Union of all the 
 B. N. A. Provinces. He has also 
 sought for the representation of the 
 Colonies in the British House of 
 Commons. As an orator, Mr. H.*s re- 
 putation is not simply provincial. His 
 eloquence is great and overflowing. 
 As a debater, public speaker or lec- 
 turer, he has few equals on the Am. 
 Continent.

 " The Hon. Joseph Howe, of Nova Scotia, 
 has made himself well known as the eloquent 
 and pertinacious opponent of that project 
 for the Confederation of the North American 
 provinces of which we have heard so much 
 lately. Apparently, it is in part with a view 
 to show the world that a statesman may be 
 thoroughly hostile to that scheme and yet a 
 firm supporter of British connection that he 
 has now given us, in the compass of a very 
 short pamphlet, his views on the ' Organiza- 
 tion of the Empire.' Whether we agree with 
 him or not, we cannot fail to do justice to the 
 clear, concise masculine manner in which he 
 has treated and really developed so exten- 
 sive a topic in the space of thirty pages. 
 Accustomed as we are on great colonial 
 questions to the endless see-saw of orators in 
 Parliament, and journalists in this country, 
 always afraid of saying too much or too 
 little, it is a great relief to meet with a 
 colonist who knows what he means and 
 wants, and can put it forward for our consi- 
 deration in unmistakable English. Nor is it 
 less satisfactory to see the hopeful and cou- 
 rageous frame of mind in which he opens 
 the discussions."~7^a7^ Mall Gazette, (Lon.)

 " Any person of ordinary intelligence read-

 It is like a quilt of patchwork, very clumsily

 mony of colours • * * In his anxiety 
 to write down Confederation, he has ignored 
 all the rules of logic with the most astonish- 
 ing recklessness." — Repm-ier, (Hal.) 
 
 '• Let any reader, be he the most astute of 
 logicians, analyze it as carefully as he may. 
 from beginning to end, and he cannot find 
 one clearly, openly, manfully expressed ar- 
 gument — an argument reasoned syllogisti- 
 cally from premises to conclusion, for oi' 
 against any thing whatever, throughout the 
 whole of this mass of words. This is asser- 
 tion. If proof is asked, — Lo ! the pamphlet 
 itself." — P. S. Hamiltox.

 " In the works now before us, we are in- 
 vited to survey the intellectual proportions 
 of another of her sons, who, in real, practical 
 value, has conferred more service on his native 
 country than any of those we have named. 
 Though for the first time his career is thus 
 brought completely before us, we have not 
 been so distant as not to have caught the 
 echo of his cheering cry, as for the last 
 twenty years he has led the battle of civil and 
 religious liberty in the British Colonies. We 
 have taken sufficient interest in colonial po- 
 litics to know that, in every one of those ar- 
 duous conflicts by which Nova Scotia and her 
 surrounding colonies wrung from the parent 
 country independent institutions, his plume 
 waved in front, and that to liis undaunted 
 perseverance and energy the final victory 
 was largely due. Free institutions once at- 
 tained, Mr. Howe appears to have devoted 
 his attention almost entirely to the develop- 
 ment of the material resources of the colony, 
 and we find his name for the past few yeais 
 connected with projects of intercolonial rail- 
 roads, and other measures of internal im- 
 provement. The first volume records his 
 political labours and services from 1828, 
 when he began his career as a journalist, 
 down to 1849, when Responsible Government 
 became firmly established in British America. 
 In the second volume we have his railway 
 and colonization speeches, his public letters 
 on various subjects, two or three admirable 
 lectures delivered before scientific and lite- 
 rary societies, and a few grave and satiric 
 pcems." — Tribune, (N. Y.)

 B. at Burlington heights, near Hamil-

 29 June, 1856. He belonged to the 
 Ogibway tribe of Indians, and was 
 known by the name of " Kahkewa- 
 guonaby." He early manifested a 
 thirst for knowledge, and through the 
 aid of his friends and others obtained 
 a good English education. In 1833 he 
 was admitted as a priest in the Wes. 
 Meth. Ch., and up to the time of his 
 death devoted himself with zeal and 
 earnestness to his ministry. He had 
 visited and preached in the U. S. and 
 Gt. Brit., in both of which coimtries 
 he made warm friends. During his 
 stay in London he rendered very effec- 
 tual service to the several Indian tribes 
 in N. Am. His industry and applica- 
 tion, in everything which he under- 
 took, were great. His services in the 
 cause of Christianity among his coun- 
 trymen were incalculable. 
 
 " Mr. Jones was a man of athletic frame, 
 as well as of masculine intellect ; a man of 
 clear perception, good judgment, great de- 
 cision of character; a sound preacher, fervent 
 and powerful in his appeals; very well in- 
 formed on general subjects, extensively ac- 
 quainted with men and things, serious with- 
 out gloom, cheerful without levity, dignified 
 and agreeable in his manners ; a faithful 
 friend, a true patriot, a persevering philan- 
 thropist ; a noble specimen of what Chris- 
 tianity can do for the Indian Gentiles of 
 Canada, and therefore for the Gentiles of the 
 whole world." — Rev. E. Ryerson, D. D.

 " Not a few of the incidents and anecdotes 
 of this history of the red man come up to 
 our memory with a pleasing vigour and fresh- 
 ness, from having heard the viva voce de- 
 lineations of its accomplished author. Pro- 
 bably no man could speak with greater 
 authority on the past state and future pros- 
 pects of the North American Indians than 
 Mr. Jones, having himself been a Chief of 
 one of the tribes. After his conversion to 
 Christianity, not only was his life spent as a 
 preacher of righteousness among the various 
 tribes, but he employed every means within 
 his power for the amelioration of their con- 
 dition. It is to be regretted that a man of 
 such parts as Mr. Jones, was so soon removed 
 from a sphere in which his endeavours to 
 benefit his race were so eminently owned 
 of the ' Great Spirit ' ; but, in the interesting 
 sketch of his life, — in which are brought out 
 some touching exemplifications of that iimer 
 life, which marks the character of the true 
 child of God, — there is ample proof of what 
 Divine Grace can accomplish in these dark 
 places of the earth ; and a striking rej^roof 
 and refutation of the views of those who 
 have from time to time maintained the im- 
 possibility of morally or spiritually elevating 
 the wandering tribes of North America. Mr. 
 Jones' graphic and interesting narrative, 
 which death prevented his own hand from

 In 1840 returned to Can. and was em- i 
 ployed by the Welland Canal Co. In 
 the following year, the Canal was 
 adopted as a provincial work by the 
 Govt., and its enlargement was com- 
 menced. Mr. K., then being in his 20th 
 year, was appointed to the charge of 
 the enlargement of the feeder, and 
 continued to be the only engineer in 
 charge until the appointment of the 
 engineer in-chief in 1842. Since then 
 he has been employed upon a large 
 number of provincial, municipal and I 
 private undertakings, his professional 
 services being sought for in Can., the 
 Lower Provinces, and the U. S. He 
 was one of the first Engineers to pre- j 
 pare the necessary plans for the con- 
 struction of the Great Victoria Bridge 
 across the St. Lawrence, of which 
 plans several were adopted almost 
 exactly by the Eng. Engineers. It has 
 been claimed by his friends that, " all j 
 which is peculiar, all which distin- 
 guishes this bridge from any other, 
 is derived from him," while several 
 Can. and Am. writers on the bridge, 
 give him a foremost position in rela-

 KiNNEAR, Oavid. A Can. jourr. B. at \ 
 Edinburgh, Scot., about 1807. D. at 
 Montreal, 20 Nov.. 1862. Was the son 
 of a banker, and a lineal descendant of 
 the celebrated Col. Gardiner. He was i 
 admitted as a mem. of the Scottish bar, | 
 but never prac is3d his profession, j 
 During his residence in Edinburgh, j 
 enjoyed the society of most of the I 
 leading literary men of the day, in | 
 eluding Sir Walter Scott, James tlogg, ! 
 and Prof. Wilson. Was for some time } 
 engaged in commerce in London, : 
 where he also became acquainted with j 
 the Ulerali of the Metropolis. In 1835, | 
 he emigrated to Am., and after visiting ; 
 some parts of the U. S., made a com- ; 
 plete tour of Can., and finally set- ; 
 tied as a farmer at Di'ummondville, i 
 L. C. During the rebellion of 1837 he 
 bore arms against the insurgents, and 
 subsequently was appointed a stipen- 
 diary magistrate in charge of the po- 
 lice force organized to res'ore order. 
 At the close of this service he accepted 
 from his old friend, the late Mr. Hew 
 Ramsay, the post of ed. of the Gazette 
 (Mont.), at that time owned by the 
 tirm of Armour and Ramsay. ' This 
 position he relinquished to become a 
 partner in the Herald., of the same city, 
 then in the hands of Mr. Robert Weir, 
 senior, in consequence of the death of 
 that gentleman's talented and lamented 
 son. He eventually became senior 
 partner and ed. of that newspaper, a 
 position which he held up to the day 
 of his death. 
 
 " No one could have had the opportunity 
 of knowing Mr. Kinnear, as it has been our 
 privilege to know him, without feeling that 
 his intelligence, his conscience and his vnW. 
 were alike in sympathy with every noble or 
 loving act by whomsoever it was performed. 
 The very reasons, however, that have ira 
 pressed us with a deep sense of his worth, 
 make it improper on our parts to allude to 
 the particulars of his life as a journalist. We 
 could hardly write, all that we believe to be 
 true of our late friend, without the appear- 
 ance — perhaps the reality — of egotism. We 
 shall, therefore, merely say, what his writings 
 
 abundantly prove, that no difference of race, 
 creed, colour, or social position ever operated 
 to create a prejudice in his mind against 
 either class or individuals. 
 
 '' We do not believe that, during the many 
 years that he has been the chief editor of 
 this paper, one single allusion has been made 
 by him to insult or wound a human creature 
 on account of those accidents which are so 
 often turned into sources of bitterness and 
 ill-will. If he has not, at all times, com- 
 pletely escaped those personal collusions to 
 which persons who take part in political war- 
 fare are unfortunately exposed, he never- 
 theless, considering the length of his career, 
 had a remarkably small hst of enemies. We 
 may add that a man of more independent 
 feeling never lived. W^e are confident that 
 no one ever pretended to have influenced his 
 opinion bj' an unworthy motive, nor to have 
 even suspected him. on any grounds which 
 he could allege, of being capable of toeing so 
 influenced. Of course, like other men, he 
 had faults ; but those most noticeable were 
 chiefl}' the exaggeration of firmness, in his 
 adherence to convictions which had been 
 formed with care ; which were cherished be- 
 cause he beUeved thej* led to what was good 
 as well as true : and which he had no thought 
 of peddling away for his own interests, or 
 out of complaisance to others. His opinions 
 were expressed and held mth manly open- 
 ness. He committed no erroi-s having their 
 origin in meanness or duplicity." — Obit.

 treasure up for posterity, ere they had

 at Fredericton, N. B., 1824. Spent 
 most of his youth in N. S., where he 
 received a good classical education, 
 under the private tuition of a graduate 
 of one of the English Universities; 
 he has since acquired a knowledge of 
 several modern languages. In 1842 
 Mr. K. removed to the U. S., and after 
 many years residence in that country 
 has transferred his allegiance, and 
 become a naturalized citizen of the 
 Am. Republic. An intimate and most 
 agreeable connection (that of Private 
 Secy, and amanuensis,) with Mr. Pres- 
 cott the historian, extending over the 
 last 10 years of that great writer's life, 
 enabled him to go more deeply into 
 the sources of European history than 
 '. is common on this continent; and 2 
 I visits to Europe enlarged his oppor- 
 tunities for original research. It was 
 owing to the suggestion of Mr. Pres- 
 cott, who had himself contemplated 
 writing the work, that Mr. K. under- 
 took The History of Charles the Bold. It 
 formed the subject of unremitting 
 labour for many years, a labour, how-

 " Mr. John Foster Kirk, whose familiarity 
 with the history and languages of Modern 
 Europe, has greatly aided me in the prose- 
 cution of my researches, while his sagacious 
 criticism has dene me no less service in the 
 preparation of these volumes." — Pkescott's 
 Philip the. Second. 
 
 " Mr. Kirk has produced a work which is 
 quite entitled to take rank with the writings 
 of his two predecessors [Prescott and Motley, ] 
 with whom he has, both in his merits and 
 his faults, a certain family resemblance. He 
 has studied his subject, not only with patient 
 industry, but with that strong sense of its 
 pre-eminent interest and importance which 
 seems almost disproportionate to a by- 
 stander, but which helps him to see and 
 understand niUch that an equally learned 
 but less enthusiastic student might have 
 overlooked. His extensive and minute know- 
 ledge is the learning of a man of vigorous 
 thought, accustomed to bring his mind to 
 consider men and things, not merely as they 
 have been written about, but as they actually 
 were, in the variety and complexity of their 
 real existence. With such characters to deal 
 as Louis XI. and Charles the Bold, and with 
 such a subtle master of the moral aspects of 
 the time as C'ommines for his guide, Mr. 
 Kirk has ample materials for the most re- 
 markable pictures ; and he shows himself 
 competent to handle them. His concep- 
 tions of men are clear, discriminating, and 
 well-sustained. When he is most disposed 
 to generalize, he remembers, and allows 
 himself to be checked by. facts at variance 
 with the main eflect of his judgment : and 
 combinations and contrasts of qualities 
 which do not ordinarily go together keep a 
 character before us which suits no one but 
 the person spoken of. Moreover, he pic- 
 tures to himself the men in the scenes amid 
 which they moved, and subject to the ideas 
 and customs by which they were ruled. His 
 imagination is active and impressible ; it 
 readily extracts from the monuments of past 
 days the materials of lively delineations, and 
 reproduces them in a shape which, in its com- 
 pleteness, its clioice of important features, 
 and its intelligible explanation of causes and 
 motives, satistles modern requirements as to 
 the way in which a story should be told.'" —

 " These are two heavj- tedious volumes. 
 The first one particularly, being principally 
 taken up vnth a journal of his garrison resi- 
 dence in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, 
 where he was locked up in small forts, from 
 which thej' could not venture a mile, without 
 risk of attack from the Acadiansand Savages. 
 The war between the English and French in 
 this quarter, seems to have been carried on 
 bj' both parties ^N'ith the utmost barbarity. 
 It had all the horrid featm-es of Indian war- 
 fare, plundering, buraing, and scalping. 
 The second volume, which narrates the ope- 
 rations before Quebec, the battle in which 
 Wolfe and Montcalm lost their lives, the 
 capture of the city, and the final capitula- 
 tion of the Marquis de Vaudreuil, and sur- 
 render of the Canadas to General Amherst, 
 is interesting in spite of the author.'" — X. A.

 Dec, 18i6. Has contributed largely, 
 in prose and verse, to the Can. and 
 Am. periodical and newspaper press. 
 His writings are composed principaily 
 of humorous and descriptive sketches 
 of men, nature and things; critical 
 essays ; translations from the French 
 and German poets ; and short epic and 
 fugitive pieces in verse. Mr. L. has 
 written for Wilkes' Spirit, and Porters"

 iiom de plume of " Toxophilile," to the 
 Western Journal under that of "El Pen- 
 seroso," and to the Albion, (N. Y.t, and 
 other periodicals as " AUid," which 
 latter name he has adopted perma- 
 nently. In 1867 he joined the staff of 
 the Gazette (Mont.), as the ed. of the 
 Sporting department of that journal.

 promising of the rising literati of Can.

 " Several of these translations have already 
 appeared in the Albion, and attracted our 
 attention at the time by the admirable 
 fidelity and poetic taste with which they had 
 been turned into English. We wish him 
 the success which he deserves in such a 
 spirited undertaking : and we must say that 
 the few specimens of his ability which he 
 has given to the world confirm vis in the 
 belief that he is qualified to a rare degree 
 for the performance of such a task. His 
 Icnowledge of the language of the original 
 ballads is evidently perfect, and his appre- 
 ciation of the rare beauties which many of 
 these old rhymes contain bears testimony 
 to his poetic temperament."— Chronicle(Que.)

 1838 he was licensed as a preacher in 
 the Ch. of Scot. In 1859 he was se- 
 lected for the office of Principal of the 
 Univ. of Queen's Coll., which he held 
 from that lime up to his deatH. An ar- 
 dent lover of science he while still 
 
 a student lectured on astronomy, and 
 for several years acted as assist, to 
 Prof. Nichol in the Univ. Observa- 
 tory : he was a diligent contributor 
 to Kilto's Journal of Sacred Lilcraiure, 
 Mc P hails Ma ()., The Christian Mag. (Edin.), 
 The Scottish Quarterly Rev. and Good 
 Words, in which latter i)eriodical the 
 papers composing his published work 
 first appeared. Shortly after arriving 
 in Can. he was elected Moderator of 
 the Synod of the Ch. of Scot. He had 
 a seat in the Senate of the Univ. (Tor.), 
 in which he was also an examiner. In 
 the enunciation of his views on Univ. 
 reform in Can., Dr. L. showed him- 
 self to be a man far removed above 
 the envious assailant and unprin- 
 cipled leveller. He was Jl man uni- 
 versally beloved by all people and 
 classes. For some years he held the 
 office of President of the Botanical 
 Soc. of Can., before which he read 
 several papers of interest.

 '' Mr. Leith has thoroughly adapted the 
 first volume of the work of the great 
 commentator, or that which treats of real 
 property, to the law of Upper Canada. His 
 task was no ordinary one. Since 1792 the 
 laws of England and of Upper Canada have 
 been, to a certain extent, diverging. A 
 thorough knowledge of the law of England 
 as it was in 1792 was necessary to a correct 
 understanding of the law of Upper Canada 
 as it now exists.

 from the U.S., whither he had gone in

 for a brief period as a merchant's elk. 
 at Sherbrooke, L. C. That employment 
 proving uncongenial, he was a second 
 time invested with the cassock, and for 
 twoyeai-sp'ouslyanddiligentlystudied 
 theology at Ottawa ; an attack of dys- 
 pepsia prostrated his energies and com- 
 pelled him to retire from the cloister, 
 never tj return. He resumed his legal 
 studies, for a short time was emploved 
 in the French translator's office of "the 
 Leg. Assem., and at this period mar- 
 ried. For some years he has been 
 residing at the village of St. Emelie

 butions t-o the chief French Can. perio- 
 dicals have deservedly attracted the 
 notice and commendation of the

 mainly on the work which he has

 '• The ' Maple Leaves ' here collected are 
 the genuine growth of our own soil, and se-

 hood. The Quebec sketches proper are, the 
 ' Legends of Chateau Bigot, or the Hermit- 
 age,' the ' Legend of the Golden Dog: Le 
 Chien d' Qr,^ the ' Loss of the Auguste,' and 
 ' La Corriveaii, or the Iron Cage.' In ' the

 " Eschewing the role of historian, so little 
 understood and so often prostituted to base 
 purposes, Mr. LeM. has applied himself to 
 the task of preserving from oblivion those 
 themes which may be called the unwritten 
 chapters of our history, inasmuch as they are 
 outside the legitimate scope of the narrator 
 of great events though not less interesting to 
 the present age as affording an insight into 
 the inner-life of our ancestors. The author 
 of 'Maple Leaves,' is at present doing for 
 Lower Canada what John Timbs and the 
 author of ' Haunted London' have done for 
 'the antiquities of England's metropolis ; 
 what Jules Janin has done for Brittany, that 
 land hallowed by the legends of Arthur and 
 Merlin ; what the antiquarian societies of all 
 Christendom have done for their respective 
 
 countries. In the third issue of ' Maple 
 Leaves,' Mr. LeM. has, however, managed to 
 strike upon a new and comparatively un- 
 trodden path of literature, albeit it is within 
 the genre we have already defined. ' Cana- 
 dian Homes' form his text, and he has done 
 ample justice to the beautiful theme.'" —

 Ed. at the High Sch., and the Univ. 
 (Edin.), at which latter institution he 
 graduated. In 1818 he entered the 
 mercantile office of his uncle Mr. Hart 
 Logan (Lon.), and subsequently be- 
 came a partner in the Qrm. Return- 
 ing to his native Province, his attention 
 was attracted to the geological cha- 
 racteristics of Can. ; he, however, re- 
 crossed the Atlantic, in IS-29, and took 
 up his residence at Swansea, South 
 Wales, devoting himself to the study of 
 the coal-fields of that region. He was 
 also, we believe, manager of some cop- 
 per smelting and coal mining opera- 
 tions there, in which his uncle was in- 
 terested. Here he remained until 1838, 
 in which year his uncle died. We 
 shall quote from an interesting paper * 
 in the Canadian Journal (1856) respect- 
 ing his professional standing and ser- 
 vices at this period : — 
 
 " Previous to his engagement with the 
 Canadian Government, the reputation of Mr. 
 Logan, (as we shall still call Sir William in 
 referring to his past career,) stood deser\'edly 
 high, although his merits were then only 
 known and appreciated by the comparatively 
 few scientific men with whom he had direct 
 communication. At an early period he made 
 a very valuable collection of the birds and 
 insects common to Canada, included in 
 which were many species previously un- 
 known, which he subsequently presented 
 to the Institution at Swansea, of which he 
 was one of the founders, and a zealous pro- 
 moter of its interests during his residence 
 in that locality. 
 
 '• But it was in the field of geology that 
 Mr. Logan was destined to bear a conspicuous 
 part, and it was during his residence in 
 Sjouth Wales, that he performed a work 
 which has been declared by the first scientific 
 men in Europe, to be * unrivalled in its 
 time, and never surpassed since.' This 
 great work was his Geological Map and 
 Sections of the Glamorganshire Coal field, 
 
 ♦ " The Canodian Geological Survey and its 
 direi-tor Sir W. E. Lo^aii, by Sa!jdl»rd Fleming, 
 C. E.» 
 
 the minuteness and accuracy of which were 
 such, that when the Government survey, 
 under Sir Henry de la Beche, came to South 
 Wales, not one single line drawn by Mr. 
 Logan was found to be incoiTect. and the 
 whole was approved and published without 
 alteration. Nor was this all : — the system 
 Mr. Logan had pursued in following out the 
 details of the coal-field was so vastly superior 
 to any hitherto adopted, that the principle 
 has been fully adopted by the British sur\-ey. 
 Mr. Logan's map may be said to be the 
 model one of the whol<^ collection. It ought 
 to be borne in mind also, that at this time- 
 he was not employed as one of the geological 
 staft' but simply as an amateur, and that — 
 in the same spirit as so many of his Canadian 
 observations have been carried out, — hn 
 generously presented the fruits of his labors, 
 without fee or remuneration, to the Britisii 
 Government." " 
 
 Whilst thus engaged, and up to the 
 time of his appointment in Can., he 
 contributed some very interesting and 
 valuable papers to the Geological Soc. 
 (Lon.), one of which, on "Stigmaria 
 beds" or "under clays" which accom- 
 pany every coal seam, finally set at rest 
 the long disputed theory as to the origin 
 of coal, and the inferences it led to 
 were universally acknowledged. In 
 1841 he visited the coal-fields of Penn- 
 sylvania and X. S., and communicated 
 papers in reference to them to the same 
 learned body. At this time he began 
 an examination of the older paljeozoic 
 rocks of Can.; and in the following 
 year, the Can. Legislature having come 
 to the determination to have the Pro- 
 vince geologically explored, Mr. Logan 
 was strongfy recommended for the 
 directorship of the survey by the lea(] 
 ing geologists of Gt. Brit., from many 
 of whom he received flattering testi- 
 monials. He was accordingly applied to 
 by Lord Stanley (now Earl of Derby), 
 
 ♦ In confirmation of the above we quote (roni a 
 letter written at the time of ^-ir William'* appomtment 
 10 the Can. Ueol. Survey : —

 the then Secretary of State for the Colo- 
 nies, to accept of the office, which he 
 has since filled with so much credit 
 to himself and the conntry. In that 
 year (1842) he proceeded to Can., and 
 after maknig a preUminary survey, 
 completed such arrangements with the 
 Can. Government as he thought requi- 
 site at the time, for the full prosecution 
 of the work, and re-crossed the Atlan- 
 tic in quest of a competent assist., and 
 on other business connected with the 
 undertaking. Previous, however, to 
 leaving for Eng. he examined and ac- 
 complished the measurement of the 
 remarkable section of the coal mea- 
 sures at the South Joggins, in N. S. ; 
 a work acknowledged to be one of the 
 most important in Am. geology, as 
 the key to the structure of the whole 
 eastern coal basin ; and which was 
 published as an appendix to his re- 
 port of Progress in 1843. Having 
 fully succeeded in the object of his 
 mission, he returned to Can. in 1843, 
 and entered earnestly into the inves- 
 tigation which has since been pro- 
 secuted by him steadily and with- 
 out interruption. From time to time 
 reports of progress of the survey have 
 appeared, and from these may be ga- 
 
 ' thered the important results which 
 have been obtained, notwithstanding 
 
 ■' the almost insurmountable difficulties 
 and obstacles with which Sn- W. has 
 
 • had to contend, in this truly great 
 national work. We again quote from

 Canadian Legislature to carry out the pro- 
 posed survey for two years, was only £1500, 
 currency, so that it will be obvious it was 
 only by the strictest economy that the 
 salaries could be paid, and travelling and 
 other expenses met; indeed, notwithstanding 
 all the care possible, the necessary work 
 could not be effected with this small grant, 
 and, accordingly, at the expiration of that 
 
 .; time, Mr. Logan found liimself out of pocket 
 
 ■• upwards of £800. 
 
 " During the summer and autumn of 1843 
 
 ' Mr. Logan was employed in an examination 
 of the coast of the Gaspe Peninsula, while 
 
 , he sent his assistant to make a section of the 
 
 ; Upper Province, through the country lying 
 between the lakes Huron and Erie — one 
 grand object of the expedition being to deter- 
 mine what the probabilities were of the exist- 
 ence of coal measures at either end of the 
 Province. In 1844 both Geologists were occu- 
 15* 
 
 pied in exploring and completing a topogra- 
 phical survey of the Ottawa liver up to 
 Lake Temiscamang, and of its tributary the 
 Mattawan to Lake Nipissing — his assistant 
 continued the examination and topography 
 in Gasj^e. In 1845 the Legislature made a 
 farther appropriation to the .Survey of £2,000 
 currency per annum for five years, and the 
 same was renewed in 1850 for rive years 
 more. In 1846, the copper region of I>ake 
 Superior occupied the entire attention of the 
 Survey ; and since that time an immense 
 amount of country has been examined in 
 various parts of the province, the greater 
 portion of which being entirely wild and un- 
 known, it was found necessary to survey topo- 
 graphically. Besides tlie geology, — much of 
 it of the very highest economic importance, — 
 which has been followed out on both sides 
 of the St. Lawrence, both above and below 
 Montreal, in the Eastern Townships, and in 
 the region around the confluence of the 
 Ottawa ; the courses of all the main rivers of 
 Lake Huron on the one side of the 'height 
 of land,' and of the Ottawa on the other, 
 have been traced and measured to their 
 sources, the lakes and principal features of 
 the interior surveyed, and the elevation of 
 every fall and rapid ascertained trigonome- 
 tricaily or by sjjirit level. These surveys 
 have since been mapped on a scale of an 
 inch to a mile, with every 2>articular noted 
 thereon. 
 
 " Moreover, a regular system of measure- 
 ments has not been confined to the totally 
 wild and unfrequented part, but has been 
 found absolutely necessary throughout near- 
 ly the whole of the settlements, in conse- 
 quence of the numerous inaccuracies and 
 omissions in the various township plans. 
 Where a more accurate method could not 
 be obtained, all the observations were con- 
 nected by a registration of each step taken 
 by the observer, the bearings from one point 
 to another being taken by a compass. And 
 as an exemple of the amount of work accom- 
 plished by this means — Mr. Richardson (who 
 has been employed as an explorer since 
 1845) in 1853 registered paces, in his note 
 book, making a total distance during the 
 season of upwards of 1000 miles. The result^ 
 of this process have also been mapped on a 
 scale of an inch to a mile, and have supplie<l, 
 on many occasions, much material to nil up 
 deficiencies, ahd correct discrepancies on the 
 old published maps. 
 
 " The result of these investigations is 
 already acknowledged to have been of incal- 
 culable benefit to science, as having most 
 essentially thrown light, where there wa.< 
 imich misapprehension before, on the Avholc 
 of American geology ; and they have, more- 
 ever, beyond dispute, been productive of 
 tlie most valuable hiformation as reganls the 
 distribution of economic materials. While 
 the position of such materials as do exist

 LOG 
 
 can be readily recognized by reference to the 
 Geological map, in which the various forma- 
 tions are represented by different colom's, 
 tliose that do not exist, will be found wanting 
 and, consequently, need not be looked for ; 
 such, for example, is the case with regard 
 to Coal — a mineral not likely to be found 
 among rocks recognized as belonging to the 
 iSilurian and Devonian epochs. * • * • 
 
 "In 1843, Mr. Logan, accompanied by a 
 single Indian with a bark canoe made a tho- 
 rough examination of the whole of the Gaspe 
 coast, counting every step he took from Cape 
 Rosier to Port Daniel, besides making many 
 pedestrian excursions into the interior — and 
 collecting a large quantity of most valuable 
 fossils and other specimens. And while he 
 was thus employed his assistant, Mr. Alex- 
 ander Murray — frequently entirely alone, 
 and often in parts remote from all settle- 
 ments — collected sufficient information to 
 give a tolerably correct idea of the structure 
 of the whole Western Peninsula. In 1 844 
 and 1845, a triangulation was effected across 
 the Gasps Peninsula from Cape Chat to Bay 
 Chaleur, a large portion of the range of the 
 Notre Dame or Shick-Shock mountains sur- 
 veyed, most of the principal rivers measured, 
 the geological diameter of the rocks ascer- 
 tained, and specimens collected. This ser- 
 vice was performed with a party consisting 
 of only four Indians with two canoes. In 
 making the survey of the Ottawa more assis- 
 tance was found to be absolutely necessary, 
 but, except in few instances, neither Mr. 
 Logan nor Mr. Murray's party have exceeded 
 the complement of six altogether — inclusive 
 of four Indians and an assistant. 
 
 " Since 1845, when the additional appro- 
 l)riation was granted an explorer has been 
 added to the staff" whose labors have been 
 incessant and of great value ; but while fully 
 admitting the greatly improved circum- 
 stances under which the survey was then 
 placed, and the more extensive scale under 
 which the operations were enabled to be 
 carried on, it must be clear to any one at all 
 acquainted with the nature of the service, and 
 of the difficulties to be encountered in a per- 
 fectly new country, that the amount of work 
 perfonned and reported upon never could 
 have been accomplished but by the most 
 indefatigable perseverance and continued 
 application. Accuracy with Mr. Logan is 
 everything — nothing is allowfed with him to 
 be of the slightest value that is not essen- 
 tially correct.'" 
 
 F'rora a recent work Portraits of Men 
 of Eminence (Lon.) we gather the fol- 
 lowing : 
 
 " The latest work of Sir W. Logan must 
 be regarded as liis greatest. To determine ' 
 the superposition of such an ancient series 
 of rocks as the Laurentian, is a task which 
 has never been singuhrlv successful in his 
 
 labours. He has proved the Laurentian rocks 
 to be of two series, — lower and upper, — both 
 highly crystalline, the lower consisting chiefly 
 of orthoclase gneiss, and the upper, instead 
 of orthoclase, containing a great deal of la- 
 bradorite, both of them holding bands of 
 serpentine and crystalline limestone. In the 
 limestone of the Lower Laurentian limestone. 
 Sir W. L. has found organic remains — the 
 Eozoon Canadense, determined by Dr. Daw- 
 son, of Montreal, and by Dr. Carpenter, to 
 be one of the Foraminiferee, a fossil from a 
 zone prodigiously older than any previously 
 known, for it is in the oldest known forma- 
 tion in the world." 
 
 In 1854 the Quarterhj Rev.^ (Lon.), 
 spoke of the Can. Survey, as follows : — 
 
 '' In Canada, there has been proceeding 
 for some years one of the most extensive 
 and important Geological Surveys now going 
 on in the world. The enthusiasm and dis- 
 interestedness of a thoroughly qualified and 
 judicious observer, Mr. Logan, whose name 
 will ever stand high in the roll of votaries of 
 his favourite science, have conferred upon 
 this great work a wide spread fame."' 
 
 As a proof of the two abiding qua- 
 lities credited to Sir William in the 
 above extract, we may state that on 
 more than one occasion have his ser- 
 vices been sought by other govern- 
 ments in a similar capacity. At one 
 time the East India Co. applied to him 
 to undertake an examination of their 
 territory for coal ; a work for which, 
 owing to his past experience, he was 
 eminently well fitted. It was a nei 
 field too, and great attractions in tht 
 form of large emoluments and of great 
 honors to be achieved in the work' 
 of science offered themselves. Still^J 
 although the temptation was great, il 
 was not sufficient to induce him tol 
 desert the work which he had under-1 
 taken in Can. and which he considered] 
 he was in some way bound to remain! 
 and complete. 
 
 In 1851 Mr. L. represented Can. atj 
 the Great Exhibition (Lon.) and had! 
 charge of the Can. geological collection J 
 which had been made by himself or] 
 under his immediate direction. It wai 
 exhibited with great skill and judg- 
 ment, displaying to the best advantage 
 the mineral resources of Can. The] 
 labour of aiTanging the specimens was] 
 very great, and so enthusiastic was he,[ 
 that frequently he sallied out at 8 or 
 10 in the morning, and would work for 
 12 hours without taking anv refresh-

 ment. At that Exliibition he also 
 served as a juror, and the vahie placed 
 on his services in that capacity may be 
 estimated by a very complimentary 
 letter * which he received from the 
 late Prince Consort, as President of 
 the Royal Commission, in conveying 
 to Mr. L. the medal which was awarded 
 him for those services. At this time 
 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal 
 Soc, one of the highest distinctions 
 which could be conferred upon him. 
 At the Paris Exposition Universclle^ in 
 1855, Mr. L. was also a Commissioner 
 on behalf of his native Province. On 
 that occasion he received from the 
 Imperial commission the grand gold 
 medal of honor, and was created, by 
 the Emperor, a Knight of the Legion of 
 Honor. In 1850 he received the honor 
 of knighthood from the Queen, and in 
 the same year was awarded by the 
 Geological Soc, of which he had long 
 been a fellow, the Wollaston Palla- 
 dium medal, for his eminent services 
 in geology. On his return to Can., in 
 the same year, the Can. Institute (Tor.), 
 of which he had been the first presi- 
 dent, presented him with an address of 
 congratulation, and had his portrait 
 painted and hung up in the hall of the 
 Institute. The inhabitants of his 
 native city, not to be backward in doing 
 honor to the man whose services and 
 talents their Queen had acknowledged, 
 availed themselves of the opportunity 
 to present him with a handsome testi- 
 monial : 
 
 " In commemoration of his long and use- 
 ful services as Provincial Geologist in Cana- 
 da, and especially bis valuable services in

 which he not only obtained for himself 
 higher honor and more extended reputation,

 of the soQ, the heights of Mountains, the 
 rate of the falls of rivers, the state of the 
 timber, and the species of quadrupeds, 
 birds, land, and fresh-water shells, and other 
 points of natural history, the state of agri-

 '• The preparation of this bulky octavo of 
 nearly a thousand pages has been carried 
 out by the indefatigable director of the 
 survey. Sir William Logan ; and the style in 
 which the work has been got up, the pre- 
 cision of the drawings, and the accuracy of 
 the wood-cuts, may almost challenge com- 
 parison ^vith the execution of similar scien- 
 tific productions on this side of the Atlantic. 
 There has been a steady persist^ice in the 
 
LOG

 LOG 
 
 conduct of this remarkable survey, honour- 
 able alike to the successive Governments 
 that have encouraged it and to the officers 
 who have carried out the work. No other 
 Colonial Survey has ever yet assumed the 
 same truly national character, and the day 
 may come — if ever the ' Imperial Colony ' 
 shall claim and attain independence — when 
 the scientific public of a great nation, looking 
 back upon the earlier dawnings of science 
 in their land, shall regard the name of 
 Logan, a native bom, with the same affec- 
 tionate interest with which English geologists 
 now regard the names of our great geological 
 map-makers, WilUam Smith and De la 
 Beche. 
 
 " Neither practical men, in the vulgar 
 sense of the term, nor men of science will 
 ever doubt the value of this anatomiidng of 
 the physical structure of Canada. But if, in 
 the colony or elsewhere, there is one so 
 shortsighted as to doubt the wisdom of 
 spending money on researches which do not 
 always suddenly tell on the pockets of the 
 community, let him consider that, in addi- 
 tion to positive benefits, the mere negative 
 results of such a survey have a distinct 
 practical utility ; for many a hopeful and un- 
 wary speculator, if he will but believe what 
 was expressed by the colours on a geological 
 map, will save himself from the prosecution 
 of undertakings which end in disappointment 
 and ruin to himself and his associates. But, 
 on higher grounds than these, the effect of 
 the encouragement of science in a rising 
 country is surely not to be despised. The 
 foundation of such a survey is like the foun- 
 dation of those noble universities which have 
 already arisen in the colony, elevating the 
 tone of society by an admixture of a learned 
 and scientific element, commanding the 
 respect of the intellect of their own popula- 
 tion, of those * at home ' in the old country, 
 and of foreign savants all over Europe,"— 
 Sat. Rev., (Lon.) 
 
 " After a preface of considerable length, 
 explanatory of the origin, organization and 
 general progress of the survey, the Report 
 opens with a very elaborate sketch of the 
 physical characteristics of the country, from 
 the Gulf of the St. Lawrence and bleak 
 wastes of Labrador, to the plains and forests 
 of the far north west, beyond the shores of 
 Lake Superior. This interesting and ex- 
 ceedingly instructive sketch, from the pen 
 of the Director of the Survey, is followed by 
 a series of chapters in which the various 
 Azoic and succeeding rocks of the Province 
 are described in great length. * * ♦ 
 The undoubted value of the earlier Reports 
 of the survey has long been recognized, both 
 at home and abroad, by all whose judgment, 
 in matters of this kind, can have any claim 
 to our acceptance. The present report, 
 embracing, as it does, the results of all 
 
 earlier explorations and comprising in itself 
 so much that is new to science cannot fail 
 to meet with equal recognition, and to 
 attract, still farther, the attention of indus- 
 trial art to the vast stores of mineral wealth 
 that yet remain unworked within the limits 
 of the Province." — Can Journ.

 Episcopal clergvm. B. in Boston, 
 8 Oct. 1816. Ed.'at Harvard Univ. In 
 18i2 went out to Bermuda diocese, 
 and was ordained priest in the follow- 
 ing year. He became chaplain to the 
 Bish. of Newfoundland, a position 
 which he aflerwaids resigned to do 
 missionary work on the Island. He 
 was stationed at Bay Robert in Gon- 
 ception Bay, and it vvas while holding 
 that charge, that he wrote his well 
 known work, the " New Priest,'' and 
 several of the poems contained in his 
 second volume. Mr. L. remained on 
 the island for nearly 5 years, and was 
 one of the suflerers by the terrible 
 famine which prevailed in a portion of 
 Newfoundland during the time of his 
 residence, towards the alleviation of 
 which he laboured earnestlv. For his 
 
 services on that occasion, ho received 
 the thanks of the then Secy, of State 
 for the Golonies. Since 1859, he has 
 been Rector of Giirist Gh. Duanes- 
 burgh, N. Y. 
 
 I. Story of the New Priest in Gon 
 ception Bay, (with illustrations by 
 Darley.) Boston, 1858 ; new ed. Do. 
 1864. 
 
 " The scene of The New Priest is placed 
 in a fishing village on the coast of Newfound- 
 land. The main interest of the story turns 
 on the abduction of a young girl by some 
 over zealous Roman Catholics, and her sub- 
 sequent recovery. The new priest is a con- 
 vert from the Church of England, who had 
 before the commencement of the book, 
 abandoned his wife to take up the ministry 
 of his new faith. Coming to Peterj^ort in 
 the exercise of his vocation, he finds his wife 
 living in retirement, and is so influenced by 
 her arguments, and by his disgust at the 
 double-dealing of his associates in the con- 
 duct of the abduction, that he finally returns 
 to the Anglican communion. He leaves for 
 the mainland to make a public recantation 
 to the Bishop of the diocese, and on his re- 
 turn has to make an overland journey in the 
 depth of winter. The time of his expected 
 arrival having passed, his friends, accom- 
 panied by his wife, go out in search, and 
 find him, near his journey's end, frozen to 
 death. The generally grave character of the 
 narrative is relieved by the introduction 
 of a comic character, Mr. Bangs, of the 
 United States, an impertinent Yankee." —

 " In verse, he more than fulfils the pro-

 which he betrays the inspiration caught from

 tency and adaptation for that description of 
 imagery, and it is evident that he here opens 
 a view which he might work with the surest 
 and highest pi-ofit." — N. Am. lice.

 him for his suliragan and auxiliary at 
 Halifax. We cannot say what caused 
 him to abandon such bright prospects, 
 but certain it is that he did not continue 
 as a student of Divinity. In 1831 he 
 was entrusted by the Can. Govt, with 
 the management of a sch. for the edu- 
 cation of deaf mutes, which he con- 
 ducted for some years. In 1836 he 
 entered the arena of journalism as ed. 
 of the Gazette de Quebec. With but one 
 short interruption he was ed. of Le 
 Canadien (Que.) from 1847 until his 
 death in 1854. He was one of the 
 most correct and profound writers, as 
 he was one of the most upright and 
 conscientious men in practice and prin-

 some months in Bombay, visited the 
 Gulf of Persia. On his return he pub- 
 lished an account of his pilgrimage in

 contributor to Eraser, and the Scot. 
 Monthly Mag. In 1830 he wrote two

 dramatic pieces which were performed 
 at the Glasgow Theatre. In 1837 he 
 was admitted to Holy orders, and after 
 officiating at Glasgow, came to Gan. in 
 18U, and hecame incnmbent of Ghrist 
 Ch., Str(!etsville, U. G. Although his 
 duties there were heavy and wide- 
 spread, he found time to ed. the Weekly 
 Rcvieii\ which in his hands became 
 one of the most popular, as it was one 
 of the best conducted papers in the 
 Province. In choosing the style of 
 his articles, his object was to attack 
 and expose popular abuses and follies 
 by good natured sarcasm and ridicule. 
 For sevei-al years he ed. the Church 
 (Tor.) newspaper, the organ of the 
 Episcopal Gh. in Gan. He was ed. 
 of the Anglo American Mag. (Tor.,) 
 contributing the Chronicles of Drecp- 
 daily, the Purser s Cabin., and the larger 
 portion of the Editor's Shanty., besides 
 many other sketches and tales ; he also 
 wrote for the Globe and the Leader on 
 literary topics. Mr. McG. is the author 
 of several songs which have been set 
 to music. In 1858 he returned to Scot., 
 where he is incumbent of Oban, 
 Argyle. 
 
 " Of the very few editors who have 
 endeavored to attach something of a literary 
 character to the newspaper press of Canada, 
 the Rev. Mr. McGeorge, of the Streetsville 
 lierieic, is certainly entitled to the first rank. 
 His etForts have been not only earnest and 
 continuous, but also successful in an eminent 
 degree, and the Eeview though published in 
 a compai-atively obscure clarhan, has com- 
 manded a greater number of hearty, intelli 
 gent outside readers than any other journal 
 in the province. 
 
 " Mr. McGeorge' 3 efforts as a man of 
 letters, however, have not been confined to 
 the newspaper. He has been a willing and 
 a liberal contributer to the pages of almost 
 every literary periodical published in Upper 
 Canada, during his sojourn in the country. 
 And those wno have any acquaintance with 
 the Anglo American Magazine, puV>lished in 
 Toronto in 1853, must have a favorable 
 opinion of his abilities as a miscellaneous 
 writer. He is verily a literary man, a gen- 
 tleman, and a scholar, and his thorough 
 knowledge of books and their authors enables 
 his pen to dash on cleverly and successfully 
 through a variety of subjects. His style is 
 terse and vigorous, and his writings gene- 
 rally are distinguished by extensive erudition, 
 facility of diction, much quaint humor, and 
 frequent sparklings of purified wit." — The

 sent him on an exploring expedition 
 through the regions of the North-west. 
 He set out from Fort Chippewyan, on 
 Lake Athabaska, where he had been 
 stationed for 8 years, with 4 canoes and 
 a party of 12 persons, to accomplish 
 his mission. For 6 weeks he threaded 
 his way along the riv^ers and lakes of 
 B. A. till he reached the great northern 
 ocean in lat. 69". Having returned to 
 Fort Chippewyan, he started in Oct., 
 
 1 792. to explore the country towards the 
 Pacific, reaching that ocean July 23, 
 
 1793, and regaining in safety the 
 point of departure. In 1802 he received 
 the honour of knighthood for his ser- 
 vices ; and the river by which he had 
 descended from Slave lake to the Arctic 
 ocean was called after him.

 was an only son ; his father dying 
 shortly after his birth, his motherVas 
 left a widow with slender means of 
 subsistence. He was ed. at Dundee. 
 At the age of 17, or thereabouts, he 
 went into mercantile business, to 
 which he added a circulating library, 
 in Ayleth, not far from Dundee. Meet- 
 ing with only indifferent success, as 
 might have been expected at so early 
 a pei-iod of his life, lie afterwards went 
 to Eng., where he was for some time 
 in Lord Lonsdale's employment as 
 elk. Before starting for this country, 
 he also spent some time in France. 
 In 1820 Mr. M. came to Ganada, For 
 a short period after his arrival he was 
 employed as superintendent over the 
 works of the Lachine canal, but it was 
 not long before he went into partner- 
 ship with Mr. John Lesslie, now of 
 Dundas, in Toronto, in the book and 
 drug trade. Soon after, the parlnei-s 
 established a business at Dundas. The 
 business succeeded remarkably well 
 in both cases. The connection closed 
 early in 1823. Abandoning the mer- 
 cantile business, very unwisely, as 
 he afterwards often thought, as he 
 would soon have attained a position 
 of wealth had he continued in it, he 
 commenced the career of a journ. and 
 publisher. On the 18th May, 1824, 
 appeared at Queenston, U. G., the first 
 number of the Colonial Advocate^ very 
 much in the shape of Gobbett's Register, 
 and containing ;\2 pages. The form 
 was, however, altered to the broad 
 sheet in the second or third number. 
 It was published at Queenston until 
 Nov. of the same year, when the paper 
 was removed to Toronto. In those 
 days the govt, was a sort of close cor- 
 poration, and was not accustomed to 
 nave its acts freely criticised. Of the 
 state of things which existed in U. G., 
 we will give Mr. M's. own testimony : 
 
 " I never interfered in the public concerns 
 of the colony, in the most remote degree, 
 until the day in which I issued twelve hun- 
 dred copies of a newspaper, without having 
 
 asked or received a single subscriber. In 
 that number I stated my sontiments and 
 the objects I had in view fully and frankly. 
 I had long seen the country in the hands of 
 a few shrewd, crafty, covetous men, under 
 whose management one of the most lovely 
 and desirable sections of America remained 
 a comparative desert. The most obvious 
 public improvements were stayed : dissen- 
 sion was created among classes; citizens 
 were banished and imprisoned in defiance of 
 all law ; the people had been long forbidden, 
 under severe pains and penalties, from meet- 
 ing anywhere to petition for justice ; large 
 estates were wrested from their owners in 
 utter contempt of even the forms of the 
 courts ; the Church of England, the adhe- 
 rents of which were few, monopoHzed as 
 much of the lands of the colony as all the 
 religious houses and dignitaries of the Ro- 
 man Catholic Church had had the control of 
 in Scotland at the era of the Eeformation ; 
 other sects were treated with contempt and 
 scarcely tolerated ; a sordid band of land- 
 / jobbers grasped the soil as their patrimony, 
 and with a few leading officials, who divided 
 the public revenue among themselves, 
 formed ' the famjly compact,' and were the 
 avowed enemies of common schools, of civil 
 and rehgious liberty, of all legislative or 
 other checks to their own will. (Jther men 
 had opposed, and been converted by them. 
 At nine-and-twenty I might have united 
 with them, but chose rather to join the op- 
 pressed, nor have J, ever regretted that 
 choice, or wavered from the object of my 
 early pursuit." 
 
 The Colonial Advocate soon fell under 
 the displeasure of the ruling pai'ty, 
 and every etibrt, except such as reason 
 and the law might have sanctioned, 
 was made to suppress it. A bitter per- 
 sonal quarrel, carried on by means of 
 the press, between Mr. M.*^ and some 
 prominent members of the official 
 party, led, in 1826, to the violent de- 
 struction of the if/t'ocrt/e printing office 
 by a mob of in-itated friends of the 
 ruling party. The office was forcibly 
 entered, and the types cast into the 
 bay of Toronto. A most inopportune 
 time was chosen for the work of de- 
 struction. It was probably not known 
 to the rioters that the last number of 
 the paper which it was intended to 
 destroy had already been published ; 
 for if it had the act would have been 
 as stupid and unnecessary as it was 
 wicked and ill«>gal. As the act was 
 done in the face of day, the pei-peli-a- 
 tors of it were known, and damages 
 were recovered against them, on the 
 
MAC

 MAC 
 
 case being brought into a court of jus- 
 tice. We must suppose that tbe object 
 of scattering the types into Ihe bay 
 was to put an end to the existence of 
 an obnoxious newspaper ; but the 
 effect was precisely the contrary of 
 what had been intended. The paper, 
 of which the last number had already 
 been issued, received from the vio- 
 lence used to put it down a new lease 
 of existence. The Colonial Advocate^ 
 instead of expiring in 1826, as it 
 would, if left to itself, continued to 
 be published till 1834, when the press 
 and types were sold to Dr. O'Grady. 
 The '' press riot "' had another effect, 
 the reverse of what was intended. 
 Through it, not only was Mr. M. 
 brought more prominently into notice 
 than ever before, but that popular in- 
 stinct which always flies to the succor 
 of any man who is unfairly treated, 
 created for him a large number of 
 enthusiastic friends and supporters. 
 In 1828, the question of his becoming 
 a candidate for the Co. of York, at 
 the election about to take place, was 
 raised, and at the proper time he was 
 returned to Parliament. The violence 
 of the official party was not confined 
 to the destruction of a printing office. 
 Mr. M. had, in his newspaper, used 
 language towards the majority in the 
 Assem., which that majority chose 
 to regard as libellous, and they re- 
 solved to punish the representative 
 for the act of the journ. The alleged 
 libel consisted of describing the ma- 
 jority as sycophants fit only to re- 
 gister the decrees of arbitrary power. 
 Admitting the language used by Mr. 
 M. to have been libellous, the proper 
 remedy would have been to bring the 
 case before the jury. But that remedy 
 was hopeless ; it was notorious that 
 no verdict could have been obtained 
 against the publisher of the alleged 
 libel. It was treated as a breach of 
 privilege ; on that ground the expul- 
 sion proceeded, and an attempt was 
 made to render Mr. M. incapable of 
 sitting in the Assem, His re-election 
 could not, however, be prevented, for 
 no mem. of the official party would 
 have had the least chance ' against 
 him ; and as often as he was expelled — 
 5 times — he was re-elected ; once when 
 he was absent in Eng. At this time 
 
 of day no one pretends to defend the 
 arbitrary proceedings of the Assem., 
 and it is impossible to read the debates 
 which took place on the occasions of 
 these repeated expulsions, without 
 being surprised at the want of sagacity 
 in the men by whom they were per- 
 formed. Xo new offence was deemed 
 necessary to justify each new expul- 
 sion — the original breach of privilege, 
 as it was called, was held to incapaci- 
 tate the person charged with it from 
 tiiking his seat in the house to which 
 he was so often elected. Other pre- 
 texts were, however, found, but it is 
 a remarkable fact that not one of the 
 expulsions proceeded from anything 
 that Mr. M. had done as a mem. of the 
 house. The hostility of that body was 
 directed entirely against a mem. of 
 the press. The printing and distribu- 
 tion at his own expense of 200 copies 
 of the official journals of the house 
 was attempted to be made a cause of 
 expulsion. It was not pretended that 
 the journals had been falsified or in- 
 terpolated. The motion rested upon 
 an obsolete rule of the house which 
 forbids any one to print the proceed- 
 ings of that body without authority— 
 a rule that is constantly and systema 
 tically violated, and the putting of it 
 into force would Ije just as absurd as 
 the revival of the Eng. statute, which 
 renders it penal for any person to fail 
 to appear in the Established Ch. ouce 
 every Sunday. The cause of the liberty 
 of the press became identified in the 
 minds of the people, with Mr. M., and 
 every new expulsion only added to 
 his popularity, and increased his 
 power. At last it was resolved to 
 punish the constituency which had 
 persisted in re-electing the expelled 
 mem., and the Assem. refused to issue 
 the writ for a new election. This re- 
 fusal contrasted strongly with the 
 official pretence previously set up that 
 it was necessary for the Co. of York 
 to be fully repiesented in the legisla- 
 ture, and that therefore no time ought 
 to be lost, after an expulsion, in calling 
 a new election. These arbitrary pro- 
 ceedings of the Assem. finally evoked 
 the decided condemnation of the Im- 
 perial Govt. The period during which 
 the Co. of York was left without a re- 
 presentative, from this cause, extended 
 
 < 
 
MAC 
 
 243 
 
 MAG 
 
 from 183! to 1834. On one occasion 
 the re-election of Mr. M. was followed 
 by a demonstration of menacing char- 
 acter against the Assem. A large escort 
 conducted him to the Assem. to take 
 his seat. Strangers were ordered to 
 be excluded from the galleries, but 
 the doors of the Assem. were burst 
 open, and the order of exclusion set at 
 defiance by the people. 
 
 In May, 1832, Mr. M. proceeded to 
 Eng. bearing a petition of grievances 
 to the Imperial Govt., said to have 
 been signed by 19,000 persons. He 
 remained there for a period of 18 
 months, and was able to effect far 
 more than any one could at that time 
 have done in Can. during the period 
 of a lifetime. While there he had the 
 hearty and energetic assistance of his 
 early and constant friend, the late Mr. 
 Joseph Hume. Mr. Hume had at that 
 time considerable influence in the 
 House of Commons, with the press 
 and with the govt. Mr. M. obtained 
 apatient hearing at the colonial office, 
 and the result of his interviews with 
 Lord Goderich was a long and elabo- 
 rate despatch from that nobleman, 
 laying down for the guidance of 
 the Can. govt, principles that would 
 effect great reforms and get rid of 
 many of the grievances complained of. 
 His exertions procured the removal of 
 some of the oificials who held the first 
 places in the govt., and caused instruc- 
 tions to be sent to the lieut. gov. to 
 appoint 1 member at least of the popu- 
 lar party to a governmental office. 
 To himself a most tempting olTer was 
 made by the Colonial Secy. The Post 
 Office in U. C, then under imperial 
 control, yielded about $60,000 a year 
 and the whole of the revenue went 
 into the pocket of the postmaster. 
 Lord Goderich proposed to divide this 
 office, and give Mr. M. half the 
 spoils. The latter replied that if he 
 accepted the offer he certainly should 
 benefit himself individually, but that 
 the abuse of which he was sent to 
 complain would still be continued. He 
 therefore declined to accept the offer. 
 It was at the instance of the Colonial 
 Secyi that Mr. M's. stay was protracted 
 to 18 months in Eng., in order that 
 an opportunity might be afforded to 
 discuss the various questions on which 
 16 
 
 the popular party in U. C. had com- 
 plained to the Imperial Govt. Perhaps 
 it was his success on this occasion that* 
 caused Mr. M. to the close of his life 
 to believe that our political movements 
 could be best influenced by the applica- 
 tion of a levei-age power in Downing 
 street ; an error which arose from his 
 not making due allowance for the 
 change which our system of govt, has 
 undergone. He had been anxious to 
 make a second journey to Eng., and 
 he was firmly convinced that if he 
 w^ere there he could produce changes 
 as great as those w'hich resulted from 
 his previous visit. From first to last, 
 Mr. M. was elected to the legislatnrt; 
 of Upper and of United Can. 14 or 15 
 times, and he was only once defeated. 
 The first mayor of Toronto — chosen 
 in 1836 — he w'as also one of the first 
 magistrates ever elected in U. C. Be- 
 fore the passing of the charter under 
 which he became mayor, elective 
 magistrates were unknown in the pro- 
 vince. For a short time in 1837 he 
 published a journal called the Conslilu- 
 tion. Of the Insurrection in ^yhicll 
 Mr. M. bore so prominent a part, in 
 1837 and 1838, it is impossible within 
 the limits of our space to treat. H(^ 
 always said that he was led into it by 
 the urgent entreaties of the L. Can's., 
 and he left behind him documents iu 
 which he frankly confesses the error 
 of the part he played and expresses 
 regret for the course he w-as induced 
 to take. But even the Rebellion, with 
 all its evils, was not without its inci- 
 dental advantages. It awakened the 
 attention of the Imperial Govt, to the 
 various abuses of the oligarchial sys- 
 tem which had previously existed, and 
 brought about a beneficial change 
 sooner than it could otherwise have 
 occurred. Few men paid more dearly 
 for an error than Mr. M. did in this 
 case. His life was spared, it is true ; 
 but as his L/y*? (written by Mr. Lindsey,)' 
 shows, it is very doubtful whether 1 
 person in a 100 would consider life de- 
 sirable upon such conditions. Under 
 the VanBuren administration, Mr. M. 
 was sentenced to 18 months' imprison- 
 ment for a breach of the neutrality 
 laws of the U. S., and he was actually 
 kept in close confinement for 12 month's 
 at Rochester. Ruined bv the confisca-

 tion and sale of his property in Can., 
 and unable to nse his exertions for 
 •* the benefit of his family, he was made 
 to taste the bitter dianghts of pover- 
 ty. He never took root in the U. S. 
 He was not at home there ; he was an 
 exile. He found foreigners looked 
 upon with suspicion, and excluded 
 from nearly all the offices in the gift 
 of the Federal Govt. He was long 
 anxious to return to Can. before the 
 issuing of the amnesty which enabled 
 him to do so. He finally received 
 a pardon through the inlluence of 
 his friend, Mr. Hume, and he always 
 continued of the impression that he 
 liad nothing to thank the Can. Govt, 
 for in that respect. He published a 
 journal both at N. Y. and Rochester, 
 intituled : Mackenzie's Gazette^ and he 
 was for a considerable time connected 
 with the Tribune^ of whose proprietor, 
 Mr. Greeley, he had the most exalted 
 opinion. The amount of labor that he 
 performed — at one time as Washing- 
 ton correspondent of that journal, at 
 another time its correspondent at 
 Albany while the State Convention 
 was sitting to revise the constitution — 
 was prodigious ; quite enough to have 
 given occupation to almost any other 3 
 men. He burned the midnight oil and 
 prematurely consumed his own vitali- 
 ty. After his return to Can. in 1850, he 
 offered as a candidate for the first con- 
 stituency — Haldimand — that became 
 vacant, and was elected. He continued 
 to hold his seat in the Leg. Assem.till 
 1858, when he resigned. He attached 
 himself to no party, and though he 
 was generally in the opposition, he at 
 tended no opposition '' caucus " and 
 entered into no party engagements. 
 From 1853 to 1860 he owned and con- 
 ducted at Toronto a weekly paper 
 called Mackenzie'' s Message. Mr. Lindsey 
 forms the following estimate of his 
 career as a journalist : 
 
 " His writings show an uneven temper ; 
 but taken them in the mass, and consider- 
 ing the abuses he had to assail, and the viru- 
 lence of opposition he met — foul slanders, 
 personal abuse, and even attempted assas- 
 sination — we have reason to be surprised 
 with the moderation of his tone. In mere 
 personal invective he never dealt. He built 
 all his opposition on hard facts, coUectecl 
 with industry, and subject to the usual 
 amoimt of error in narration. Latterly he 
 
 had entirely abandoned the practice of 
 repljdng to the abusive tirades of business 
 competitors or political opponents. 
 
 " 'I part company,' he said, 'with the 
 corps editorial in the best possible humour.' 
 With papers that pursued him with abuse, 
 he ceased to hold any communication; re- 
 fusing neither to read or receive them. He 
 borrowed this metaphor to show how he 
 might have failed to come up to his original 
 intentions. 'We begin to cross a strong 
 river, with our eyes and our resolution fixed 
 on the point of the opposite shore on which 
 we propose to land; but gradually giving 
 way to the torrent, we are glad by the aid 
 perhaps of branch and bush to extricate 
 ourselves at some distance and perhaps dan- 
 gerous landing place, much further down the 
 stream than that on which we had fixed our 
 intentions.' He generally wrote in the first 
 person ; and his productions sometimes took 
 the shape of letters to important political 
 personages. His articles were of every pos- 
 sible length, from the tei'se, comj)act para- 
 graph to a full newspaper page. On what- 
 ever objects exerted, his industry was 
 untiring; and the unceasing labors of the 
 pen, consuming nights as well as daj-s, pre- 
 maturely wore out a naturally durable frame. 
 Though possessed of a rich fund of humour, 
 liis work was too earnest and too serious to 
 admit of his drawing largely upon it as a 
 journalist. Of Robt. Randal, when his con- 
 stituents had given him a new suit of clothes, 
 he said : 'He now moves among us literally 
 clothed from head to foot with the approba- 
 tion of his constituents.' He sometimes 
 kept note of time by printing at the head of 
 his labors : ' Midnight Selections and Reflec- 
 tions (half asleej)).' Whatever he did, he 
 did with an honest intention : and though 
 freedom from errors cannot be claimed for 
 him, it may truly be said that liis very faults 
 were the results of generous impulses, acted 
 upon with insufficient reflection." 
 
 It is now universally conceded that, 
 however erroneous his views, Mr. 
 M. did everything from a thoroughly 
 honest motive, and in the belief that 
 it was best for the country. He 
 was no trading politician or office- 
 seeker, and the best test of his politica 
 virtue is that he resisted the most al- 
 luring temptations when he thought 
 their acceptance would be contrary to 
 the interests of the public. His most 
 intimate friends best know the value 
 he set upon political honesty, and how 
 deep and utter was his detestation o| 
 a tendency to dishonesty or corruption.

 From 1856 to 1861 was engaged in 
 active business pursuits in St. John. 
 In the last named year undertook the 
 charge of the Eng. and Gommercial 
 department of the GoUegiate School 
 , (Fred.) He first became connected 
 withjournalism, in 1863, by joining the 
 staff of The Morning Telegraph (St. John,) 
 as legislative reporter, and subse- 
 quently became associate ed. of that 
 paper. In 1865 he established the St. 
 Croix Courier (St. Stephen,) of which 
 he is ed. and prop. The Courier has 
 become the leading journal of the 
 Western district of N. B. In Politics 
 it is independent, but its ed. has always 
 been an unflinching supporter of Golo- 
 nial Union. 
 
 Mair, Gharles. a Gan. writer. B. in 
 Co. Lanark, U. G. In 1860-62, contri- 
 buted several short poetical pieces of 
 superior merit to the Transcript (Mont.,) 
 which were highly spoken of. In 1862 
 two descriptive poems from his pen, 
 The Pines and Summer, were read before 
 
 the. Can. Botanical Soc. which drew 
 from the, late Rev. Principal Leitch of 
 Queen's Coll. (Kings.,) the following 
 tribute : 
 
 " The Pines is a truly Canadian produc- 
 tion, inspired by an acquaintance with and 
 love of the forest, while Summer has more of 
 the old world stamp shewing by the impress 
 a style of its Literature. Canada ought to 
 be proud of Mr. Mair's poems." 
 
 On this occasion, Mr. M. was elected 
 an honorary mem. of the Society. 
 Since then his occasional poetical ef- 
 forts have appeared in the Daily News, 
 (Kings.,) with the exception of two 
 sonnets, To the Humming Bird and To 
 a Sleeping Child, which he contributed 
 ' to the B. A. Mag. (Tor.) As a prose 
 writer he is known by a tale Twelve- 
 trees, (Mont. Transcript, 1861,) and by a 
 sketch, Frogs and their Kin, (B. A. Mag., 
 1863.) . Speaking of the tale, the Ed. of 
 the Transcript declared it to be '• an 
 unrivalled piece of auto-biography."' 
 Mr. M. intends bringing out a volume 
 in London shortly. He is still very 
 young ; and should he continue in the 
 field of literature, there is no manner 
 of doubt that, by his superior talents 
 and education, his extensive and varied 
 knowledge, and his refined taste and 
 judgment, he will occupy no incon- 
 siderable place among the literary men 
 of the present day.

 to Quebec in 1812, where he has since 
 resided. Ed. at the Royal Grammar 
 Sch. there. Completed his medical 
 education in London and Paris. Has 
 been a medical examiner for more 
 than 30 years ; and ranks high as a me- 
 dical jurist and consulting ^jhysician. 
 Before the incorporation of the Quebec 
 Medical Sch. and Laval Univ., he, for 
 many year.-, delivered with great suc- 
 cess courses of lectures on Anatomy and 
 Physiology, Surgery, Materia Medica 
 and Botany. Dr. ^i. has probably con- 
 tributed more, as a writer, to the 
 medical press than any other medical 
 man in Can. From 1827 up to the 
 liresent time, his pen has been devoted 
 
 to science and literature, poetry and 
 prose. In Medicine and Surgery he 
 has written much for the Lancet iLon.,) 
 Medical and Surgical Journal, both quar- 
 terly and monthly (Edin.,) the U. C. 
 and'the L. C. Medical Journals, and the 
 Brit. A7n. Journal (Mont.) He was a 
 contributor, above various signatures 
 and on various subjects, to the Mercury, J 
 and the Gazette (Que.), and to the fj 
 Settler (Mont.) From 1851 to 1854 Dr. 
 M. took a large share in the ed. mana- 
 gement of the Quebec Mercury. It is 
 understood that he is preparing for 
 early publication a complete history 
 of Asiatic Cholera, its etiology and 
 pathology, commencing with its out- 
 break in India in 1817. For some 
 years he was President of the Coll. of 
 Phy. and Surg, of L. C. (of which he 
 is a* Governor). He is also an Hono- 
 rary Fellow of the Medical Botanical 
 Soc. (Lon.); a Corresponding Fellow 
 of the Medical Soc. (Lon.) ; an Hono- 
 rary Fellow of the Lyceum of Natural 
 His., and of various other learned 
 bodies and societies. 
 Marshall, Hon. John G. A N. S. Author. 
 Is the son of a captain in the Brit, 
 army. Born in N. S. 1786. He re- 
 ceived a limited classical ed. at the 
 Prov. Grammar Sch (Hal.,) ; and after 
 going through the prescribed course 
 of legal studies in Halifax, was admit- 
 ted in 1808 a barrister in the Su- 
 preme Court, and other courts of law 
 and equity in the Province. In 1811, 
 when 25 years of age, was elected a 
 mem. of the Prov. Parliament for his 
 native county, — for which his father 
 had beena representative for about 1 4 
 years previously, — where he sat for 10 
 years. While in the legislature, and 
 in extensive practice in his profession, 
 residing in the capital, he was, in the 
 year 1823, selected to fill the special 
 offices then created of Chief Justice of 
 the Courts of Common Pleas, and Pre- 
 sident of the Courts of Sessions, 
 throughout the Island of Cape Breton, 
 which Island had for many years been 
 a distinct Brit, colony, but had 
 shortly before, by the King in Council, 
 been made a part of the Province of 
 N. S. He was also appointed the 
 Custos of all the Counties of the Island, 
 and a Master in the Court of Chancery 
 throughout the Province. He held 
 
 i

 MAR 
 
 these and several other imporfant 
 public offices, for about 18 years. In 
 the year 1841, new arrangements being 
 made by the legislature as to the 
 Courts of Common Law, all the Conrts 
 of Common Pleas thronghout the Pro- 
 vince were abolished, and Judge M., 
 with 3 other divisional Chief Jus- 
 tices of those courts were placed on 
 pensions for life. Within a few 
 months after he was thus withdrawn 
 from the bench, he was called into the 
 public advocacy of the Temperance 
 cause, with which he had for several 
 years previous been identified as a 
 mem. During nearly the whole of the 
 5 following years until 1846, he was 
 almost constantly and exclusively 
 engaged in the same advocacy, going 
 in regular circuits throughout every 
 part of the Province, and also several 
 times visiting, on the same mission, the 
 Provinces of N. B. and P. E. I. In 
 1846 for the first time he w^nt with 
 his friends to Gt. Brit., and immedi- 
 ately commenced labouring in the 
 same cause, and continued almost 
 incessantly for nearly 4 years, during 
 which he lectured in upwards of 250 
 different cities and towns of Eng., 
 Scot., and Irel.. in parts of Wales, 
 and in the Islands of Orkney, Shetland, 
 Jersey and Guernsey, and delivered 
 during this period about 560 public 
 addresses, nearly all on the total abs- 
 tinence subject. In 1850 he returned 
 to N. S., and after remaining there 
 abput 2 years, still frequently lecturing 
 in the same cause, he came in 1852 to 
 Can. for the same purpose, where with 
 a short intermission he continued 
 for a like period, almost constantly 
 lecturing, chiefly in the most populous 
 towns and sections of the Western 
 district of country. Again return- 
 ing to his native Province in 1854, he 
 continued to exert himself there in the 
 same way for the next 2 years; and 
 also visited Newfoundland. In 1856, 
 again went to Eng. for the sole and 
 express purpose of assisting in the 
 advocacy of the movement for the 
 legal prohibition of the common traffic 
 in intoxicating liquors, judging that 
 from his legal standing and attain- 
 ments, as well as his long experience 
 in the Temperance cause, he could be 
 of some service to that important effort. 
 
 On his second visit, which continued 
 for nearly 2 years, he constantly 
 exerted himself by lecturing and other- 
 wise, in very many parts of Gt. Brit., 
 having delivered in all about 180 public 
 addresses, in nearly as many dilferent 
 places. At the very great number of 
 meetings he has addressed, through- 
 out the whole period of his advocacy in 
 the temperance and prohibitory cause, 
 many thousands have been enrolled 
 as members. It is important that we 
 should state that, all Judge M's exer- 
 tions in the Temperance and Prohi- 
 bitory movements have been entirely 
 gratuitous, both as to his lectures and 
 travelling expenses. 
 
 In addition to the list of his WTitings 
 which we give below, he has at various 
 times published a large number of 
 tracts on religious and other subjects, 
 which have appeared in Gt. Brit, and 
 N. S. He has also contributed largely 
 to the newspaper press : in 1863 in the 
 Christian Worid (Lon.,) Letters opposing 
 Sir Charles LyeWs supposition as to the 
 age of the world and in support of the 
 Scripture chronology ; also reviewing and 
 opposing his notions and argument as to 
 the " transmutation of species and gradual 
 developments in the natural icorld^^' as 
 contained in his work " The Antiquity of

 I. Histoire des Abenakis depuis 1605 
 jusqu'a nos jours. Sor<?/, 18G6, pp. Ill 
 —631, R. 8vo. 
 
 "Ce livre, dit I'auteur, est I'histoire cl'une 
 tribu sauvage qui aujourd'hui compte a 
 peine 350 ames en Canada. Descendants 
 d'une nation, qui pendant cent cinquante 
 ans, a rempli un role tres considerable dans 
 les guerres de la Nouvelle-France et de la 
 Nouvelle-Angleterre, et s'est toujours con- 
 stamment montree I'alliee fidele et infati- 
 gable des frangais, ces restes d'une grande 
 peuplade meritaient de voir les services de 
 leurs ancetres retraces dans un ouvrage 
 special. 
 
 "Nos historiens ne rendent guere aux 
 heroiques Abenakis le tribut de gloire et de 
 reconnaissance qui leur est du, ils paraissent 
 oublier que si cette nation, autrefois nom- 
 breuse et puissante, se trouve maintenant 
 reduite a quelques families, c'est que pen- 
 dant pres de quatre-vingts ans elle a mis au 
 service de la cause catholique et fran9aise 
 dans I'Amei-ique du Nord, le plus pur de son 
 sang et les plus beaux coup de sa vaillance. 
 M. I'abbe Maurault, qui a ete vingt-cinq ans, 
 le pasteur des derniers rejetons de cette 
 tribu, s'est emu de cet oubli. II leur a con- 
 sacre le livre que nous avons sous les yeux. 
 
 "Ecrit sans pretentions, cet ouvrage n'a- 
 borde aucune des questions de haute philo- 
 sophic chretienne contenues dans I'histoire 
 des nations sauvages de 1' Amerique du Nord : 
 /quand, dit I'auteur, la tombe sera fermee 
 sur le dernier des Abenakis, on lira avec 
 interet I'histoire de cette antique tribu qui, 
 pendant si longtemps unit ses armes a celles 
 des Fran^ais, pour combattre un ennemi 
 commun. Et quand le temps, qui detruit 
 tout, aura efface en Canada la derniere trace 
 du dernier de ces sauvages, les Canadiens 
 aimeront encore a relire les anciennes tradi- 
 tions et les interessantes legendes de ces 
 amis de leurs ancetres.' C'est ce caractere 
 legendaire qui rend si attrayante la lecture 
 de 1' ouvrage de M. I'abbe Maurault. 
 
 " Le style est simple, naturel, clair; les 
 details abondent, quoique les sources varient 
 peu; I'ordonnance de I'ouvrage est faite 
 avec soin, et le lecteur en suit toutes les 
 divisions avec facilite et sans confusion. Par 
 sa maniere, par le choix de sa narration, par la 
 multiplicite des faits particuliers, par son 
 gout des legendes, ce cote si vrai et si popu- 
 laire de I'histoire, M. I'abbe Maurault appar- 
 tient a la meme classe d' historiens que les 
 abbes Faillon et Ferland ; il est moins mys- 
 tique que le premier, n'a pent etre pas la 
 phrase ni la philosophie du second, mais il 
 est evidemment de la meme ecole. 
 
 ''L'histoire des Abenakis est un beau 
 livre qui a sa place dans toutes les bibliothe- 
 ques canadiennes ; il est encore mieux que 
 cela, il est un monument national eleve a la 
 gloire de nos anciens allies, et ses 600 pages 
 
 prouvent une fois de plus que la vraie civili- 
 sation des sauvages n'a ete comprise et 
 amenee que par la doctrine et les enseigne- 
 ments catholiques." — Joseph Royai- : Mev.

 family to Can. and settled in the wild 
 forest's of the Upper Province. He had 
 a natural taste lor Literature, and soon 
 began to contribute scraps of prose and 
 verse to the provincial journals, which 
 were received with much favour. In 
 1843 he became ed. and prop, of the 
 Chronicle (Peterboro,) and in 1847 pur- 
 chased the Newcastle Courier, (Cob.,) of 
 which he was also Ed. Since then there 
 has scarcely been a periodical or news- 
 paper of any note published in U. C. 
 with which he has not had something 
 to do, either as Ed., literary critic, ed. 
 or ordinary contributor, or correspon- 
 dent. His more important pieces have 
 appeared in the Canadian Gem, (Cob., 
 1848,) the Anglo Am. Mag. (Tor., 1855,)

 Asa huMiourous lecturer, he is re-

 tion — his lecture on " The House that

 almost every city and town in Can., 
 and has invariably drawn from the 
 
 f»ress the highest eulogiums. His 
 iterary reputation however will rest 
 chiefly upon his poems ; and we are 
 glad to learn that he contemplates soon 
 bringtlig out a collection of them in 
 book form.

 ''Asaspecimenof Canadian literature this 
 is certainly a very remarkble volume. It is 
 one which, wherever produced, would do 
 credit to the learning, ingenuity and good 
 taste of its author, and could hardly fail to 
 obtain the high approbation of those who 
 can appreciate such pursuits ; but it could 
 scarcely have been expected in the old 
 world, that in the remote capital of Western 
 Canada, a scholar would devote, his time to 
 correcting by accurate knowledge and acute 
 
 reasoning the errors of those who would 
 seem to have much better means of examin- 
 ing the particulai-s requiring to be known 
 than liimself, and however high our aspira- 
 tions may be, it is not exactly in this depart- 
 ment that we should expect our countrymen 
 to obtain distinction : Yet our judgment is 
 altogether at fault if this work is' not received 
 as a valuable contribution to an irtteresting 
 department of Archaeological study, extend- 
 ing the reputation of its author for curious 
 research, accurate scholarship and judicious 
 criticism and proving that materials and 
 encouragement for such pursuits are not 
 altogether wanting to us, far as we may be

 McCoLL, Evan. A Scot, lyric poet resi-

 Fyne-Side, Scot., 12 Sept., 1808, where 
 he is known as the " Clarsair-nam- 
 bea?i7i," or " the Mountain Minstrel." 
 A prominent place has been assigned 
 to him in Mackenzie's " Beauties of 
 Gaelic Poetry, and Lives of the Highland 
 Bards " (Glas., 1841). From this sketch 
 we learn that he acquired the rudi- 
 ments of an Eng. education, and with 
 it a taste for Eng. literature, from a 
 private tutor whom his father out of 
 his slender means had succeeded in 
 engaging. The circumstances in which 
 his father were placed, rendered it 
 necessary for young McC. to engage in 
 the active operations of farming and 
 fishing, and he was thus employed for 
 several years. He had early devoted 
 himself to the poetic muse, and in 
 1837 became a contributor to the Gaelic 
 Magazine (Glas.) 
 
 '' His pieces excited considerable interest, 
 and a general wish was exj^ressed to have 
 them published in a separate foi-m, by all 
 Highlanders, with the exception of his own 
 immediate neighbours, who coidd not con- 
 ceive how a young man, witli whom they 
 had been acquainted from his birth, should 
 rise superior to themselves hi intellectual 
 stature, and public estimation." *

 His first volume attracted a large 
 degree of attention, and was favourably 
 reviewed by the highest literary au- 
 thorities. In 1 831, his father, with the 
 rest of his family, emigrated to Can. ; 
 but McC. himself could not so soon 
 leave his native hills; and when, in 
 i837, be accepted a clerkship in the 
 Customs at Liverpool, it was not with- 
 out a painful struggle that he bade 
 adieu to the land of his birth. In 
 1846 his second work appeared from 
 the press, and was even better re- 
 ceived than his first. In 1850, in con- 
 sequence of ill-health, he visited Can. 
 where he determined to remain, having 
 been appointed to the Provincial Cus- 
 toms, at Kingston. Here he has since 
 resided. He is the Bard of the Cale- 
 donian Soc. of that city, and his annual 
 contribution on the anniversary of 
 Scotland's Saint, is always looked* for 
 with much interest. His " Bonnet. Kilt 
 and Feather^"" and his " Lake of the Thou- 
 sand Isles'' a.Te T^RrlicnlsiTW good. So 
 is his '* Robin" written for the people's 
 centennial celebration of the favorite 
 Scottish poet's birthday in Kingston. 
 The ed. of the Daily News of that city, 
 in noticing this latter song, observed : 
 
 " Its melodious and flowing beauty of 
 expression commanded general admiration : 
 its pervading characteristic — that of being in

 " Evan McColl's poetry is the product of 
 a mind impressed with the beauty and the 
 grandeur of the lovely scenes in which his 
 infancy has be^n nursed. We have no hesi- 
 tation in saying, that this work is that of a 
 man possessed of much poetic genius. Wild, 
 inde«i, and sometimes rough, are his rhymes 
 and epithets; yet there are thoughts so 
 new and so striking — images and compa- 
 risons so beautiful and original — feelings so 
 warm and fresh, that stamp this Highland 
 peasant as no ordinarj' man. His volume 
 well deserves a niche among the curiosities 
 of modem literature." — Dr. Xormax McLkod. 
 
 •• There is a freshness, a keenness, a hear-

 rugged bluffs among which they were com- 
 posed, alternating occasionally with, a clear, 
 bewitching, and spiritual quiet, as of the gloa- 
 ming, deepening over the glens and woods. 
 Several of these melodies, towards the close 
 of this volume, are full of simple and tender 
 feeling, and not imworthy to take their place 
 by the side of those of Lowland minstrels of 
 universal fame."' — P. J. Bailet.

 Halifax, N. S., 1843. He was ed. at 
 
MGG

 MCG 
 
 the Univ. (Edin..) and studied Theo- 
 logy under Prof. Bruce of the As- 
 sociate Synod at Whitburn. He was 
 ordained min. of a congregation at 
 Stevvarton, Ayrshire, but did not long 
 remain there. In tbe year 1803 he 
 went to Pictou, N. S., and in the fol- 
 lowing June, was inducted min. of 
 the harbour of Pictou, or the town, as 
 it was then beginning to be called. 
 The town consisted at that time of 
 only about a dozen houses, the inha- 
 bitants of which with a few others 
 scattered around, composed his congre- 
 gation. The sphere of his labours, as 
 far as his congregation was concerned, 
 was small; but his was a mind that in 
 any sphere must have made its influ- 
 ence felt beyond any single spot where 
 he might be located. Accordingly he 
 soon began to take part in public 
 affairs. As early as the year 1805 he 
 projected an institution for the higher 
 branches of education, especially for 
 the benefit of dissenters. But the 
 scheme died away as visionary. The 
 only institution of the kind in the Pro- 
 vince at that time was King's Coll., 
 (Windsor.) One of its by-laws was 
 as follows : 
 
 " No member of the University shall fre- 
 quent the Romish mass, or the meeting 
 houses of Presbyterians, Baptists or Metho- 
 dists, or the conventicles or places of vvorsliip 
 of any other Dissenters from the Church of 
 England, or where divine service shall not 
 be performed according to the liturgy of the 
 Church of England, or shall be present at 
 any seditious or rebellious meeting : 
 
 By another by-law degrees, and conse- 
 quently all the civil privileges which gradua- 
 tion conferred, could only be conferred on 
 those who had previously subscribed the 39 
 articles of the Church of England. The in- 
 stitution was modelled after the University 
 of Oxford. The students were compelled, at 
 a heavy expense, to reside within its walls ; 
 and the whole management was such, as 
 effectually to exclude the great majority of 
 the youth of the Province, even had its 
 statutes been more liberal. 
 
 For some time little attention was 
 paid to these things. The larger por- 
 tion of the population in the rural 
 districts were still struggling with the 
 difficulties of a first settlement, and as 
 to education, few thought of seeking 
 for their children more than the or- 
 dinary training of a common sch. 
 Even that was diflficult to obtain, and 
 
 when obtained very inferior. A large 
 proportion of the inhabitants did not 
 feel the necessity of any thing better, 
 and many did not value education 
 at all. The population was sparse, 
 and the several portions had but little 
 communication with one another or 
 with the capital. To excite among 
 such men an interest in an institution 
 for the higher branches of education, 
 and to raise among them the contribu- 
 tions necessary for its establishment 
 and maintenance, was no easy task. 
 Dr. McG., however, gave himself to the 
 work with all the energy of his nature. 
 For some years he had taught a gram- 
 mar sell., or academy, partly as a means 
 of improving his circumstances, — 
 being like most of the ministers of that 
 period but very imperfectly supported 
 by his congregation, — but chiefly with 
 the design of raising the standard of 
 education in the district. The number 
 and progress of those who attended 
 that institution revived the idea of a 
 coll., and accordingly under the 
 leadership of Dr. McG., a soc, was 
 formed for the founding of such a 
 seminary on a liberal basis ; and with 
 the cordial concurrence of the then 
 Lieut. Gov., Sir John G. Sherbrooke, 
 an act of incorporation was granted to 
 the trustees in the year 1816. 
 
 The intention then was to found an 
 institution for dissenters, not indeed 
 excluding churchmen ; but as King's 
 Goll. was entirely under their cjntrol, 
 it was expected that only dissenters 
 would take advantage of the new insti- 
 tution, and that as they were excluded 
 from Kii>g's, they would combine in 
 favour of the other. The leaders of 
 the Gh. of Eng. in the Province took 
 alarm at the idea of such an nistitu- 
 tion, which they judged would form 
 a rallying point for dissenters, against 
 the ch. They were willing, at least 
 the liberal minded among them, to 
 allow Presb's. to have an institution in 
 which they might give their children 
 such education as they could. It 
 must be observed that, at that lime, 
 the Gouncil of xii, which possessed 
 both Executive and Legislative powers, 
 was then the absolute rulers of the 
 country. Not only was the Assem. 
 not in the commanding position which 
 it has since occupied under Responsible 
 
MCC 
 
 258 
 
 MCC 
 
 Govt., it was in a state of complete sub- 1 
 serviency to the Upper House. If the 
 former manifested anything Hive a spi- 
 rit of independence, tfie latter had only 
 to refuse to do business with them to 
 cause the latter to give way. Of this 
 body the Anglican Bish. was a mem., 
 and with scarcely an exception the 
 membei-s belonged to that body. The 
 result was that when the bill which had 
 passed the Assem. without any tests, 
 came to the Conn., it received an addi- 
 tional clause, providing that the trus- 
 tees and teachers must be members 
 either of the ch. of Eng.. or of the Presb. 
 body. This threw the institution into 
 the hands of the Presb's. alone, and left 
 it dependent upon them for support. 
 As they then consisted only of about 20 
 congregations, most of these in thinly 
 settled districts, and the members in 
 humble circumstances, the reader will 
 perceive that Dr. McC. had but a 
 feeble support to rely on. It should 
 have been mentioned that, to avoid 
 exciting the jealousy of King's Coll., 
 it was resolved to assume the modest 
 name of an academy, and not to seek 
 the right of conferring degrees or other 
 pri\ilege of a coll. Hence the name 
 Pictou Academy ; though from the 
 first it was intended to impart the edu- 
 cation usual in colleges. Under the 
 act of incorporation, the trustees im 
 mediately set to work, and raised £1000 
 for the erection of a building, a large 
 sum under the circumstances ; and 
 Dr. McG.was chosen its first president. 
 From that time, his life was chiefly de- 
 voted to the interests of the institution. 
 At first almost the whole teaching de- 
 volved on him, and that not under the 
 most favourable circumstances. The 
 late Jotham Blanchard thus wrote of 
 the efforts of Dr. McC. during the in- 
 fancy of the institution : 
 
 " Of his daily labours and nightly vigils, 
 after taking charge of the Institution, I am i 
 surelj' a competent witness. I was one of 
 his tirst students, and have often seen him 
 at 8 o'clock of a winter . morning enter his 
 desk in a state of exhaustion which too 
 plainly showed the labours of the night. To 
 this those who are acquainted with the 
 subject will give credence, when I state that 
 his share of the course was, besides Greek 
 and Hebrew, Logic, Moral Philosophy and 
 Natural Philosophy. In each of these sciences, 
 he drew out a system forTiunself, which was 
 
 of course the result of much reading and 
 much thought. When I add to this account 
 of his daily labours, the repairs and additions 
 which were necessary to a half-worn appa- 
 ratus, and which none but himself could 
 make, I am almost afi-aid my testimony will 
 be doubted. And for the first 5 or 6 years 
 of the institution, let it be remembered, he 
 had charge of a congregation, and regularly 
 preached twice a day, save when over-exer- 
 tion ended in sickness.'' 
 
 The Rev. Geo. Patterson, of Pictou 
 writes : 
 
 " During the whole time of his continuance 
 in connexion with the Institution, he taught 
 Logic, Moral Philosophy and Natiu*al Philo- 
 sophy, there being only one other Professor, 
 who taught the classics and mathematics. 
 Diverse as the branches were which he 
 taught, he taught them aU. I have since 
 had an opportimity of knowing something 
 of the Professors of Edinburgh Univer- 
 sity, but never till I saw them did I know 
 the real greatness of Dr. McCuUoch. There 
 were men there who in a particular depart- 
 ment to which they had chiefly directed 
 their attention would have doubtless excelled 
 him, such as Hamilton in Metaphj'sics, «kc., 
 but there was no man in that miiversitj-, who 
 could have made the same appearance that 
 he could in all the branches taught. He 
 was in fact a perfect Senaius Academicus. He 
 could have taken any branch included in the 
 faculty of arts, and Theology, and even some 
 reckoned under the faculty of medicine, 
 such as Chemistry and Natural History, and 
 taught it in a respectable and efficient man- 
 ner. You may think this exaggeration from 
 the partiality of an old pupil, but Dr. Dawson 
 of McGill college, expressed to me some 
 years ago in Edinburgh the same views. I may 
 add that his intellect was of that peculiar 
 clearness, that whatever he knew, he knew 
 accurately snd distinctly. It was impossible 
 for him to be obscure." 
 
 In teaching the branches named, in 
 such an institution, he would have had 
 abundance of labour, but this was 
 only a small part of what devolved 
 upon him. Besides the charge of a 
 congregation till the year 1824, he took 
 an active part in the business of the 
 synod of the Presb. Ch. of N. S., of 
 which he was a mem. ; and most of 
 the public documents of the body came 
 from his pen. As soon as the first clas? 
 of students were sufficiently advanced, 
 he was requested by the synod to 
 take charge of their studies in Theo- 
 logy. To his other labours were 
 added the instructing of these young 
 men in Hebrew and Theoloffv. We 
 
 i 
 
MCG 
 
 259 
 
 MCG 
 
 may add liere that he was a superior 
 Hebrew schohar, and as such almost 
 entirely self-taught. But his labours 
 w^ere cliielly increased by the opposi- 
 tion which the institution met with. 
 This as forming an important chapter 
 in the history of N. S. we must notice. 
 After the Pictou Academy was com- 
 menced, the trustees made application 
 to the Legislature for aid from the 
 public treasury. The large majority of 
 the House of Assem. were willing to 
 grant the necessary assistance, and the 
 first grant was carried in that branch of 
 the legislature with only 4 dissentient 
 voices, but in the Goun. it met with 
 mostdetermined opposition. From the 
 year 1818 till the year 1834, this was 
 the great question before the legisla- 
 ture, the Assem. being favourable, 
 a majority of the Goun. unfavourable. 
 There was a minority of the Goun. 
 consisting of the liberal minded mem- 
 bers of the Gh. of Eng., who always 
 favoured the institution ; but the ma- 
 jority steadily resisted a permanent 
 endowment, or any attempt to remove 
 the tests from the institution. Upon 
 these questions a battle was fought 
 every year, generally ending in a 
 grant for that year, but even this at 
 at length the Goun.' refused, and the 
 trustees resolved to lay their griev- 
 ances before the King. In these days 
 of religious equality and of good feel- 
 ing among rehgious denominations, 
 it is scarcely possible to realize the 
 state of matters which existed then, the 
 dominancy of one ch., and the inferior 
 position of dissenters, the prejudices 
 I with wdiich they were regarded even 
 by sensible men, and the difficulties 
 with which Dr. McG. had therefore to 
 contend. Many believed that a dissen- 
 ter must be disloyal, and letters were 
 actually sent to the highest authority 
 in the Province, charging Dr. McG. 
 and his fellow labourers with dis- 
 loyalty. But this was not the source of 
 the most virulent hostility which the 
 Academy encountered. Soon after it 
 was founded, several clergym. arrived 
 in the Province from the established ch. 
 of Scotland. Dr. McG. though desirous 
 of having the institution on a liberal 
 basis, and the means of giving such a 
 training as would fit our youth for 
 usefulness in any sphere, attached 
 17 
 
 special importance to the institution 
 as a means of training young men for 
 the ministry. Indeed tlie difficulty of 
 obtaining min's. to supply the destitute . 
 parts of the province was one and the 
 principal moving cause which led him 
 and his fellow labourers to found such 
 an institution. When these min's. 
 arrived, they found the institution 
 commencing to send out the first 
 number of native preachers. They 
 came with all that supreme contempt 
 which it was customary then and long 
 after for old counti-y people to feel for 
 every thing colonial. The idea of 
 training some of the inhabitants of the 
 woods for min's, or giving a collegiate 
 education to a native, seemed to them 
 supremely ridiculous, and they assail- 
 ed them with every epithet of contempt. 
 They had, too, all the contempt for 
 seceders, which the members of the 
 established ch. in Scot, then entertain- 
 ed for that body. Still they were not 
 long in seeing that the Presb. ch. of 
 N. S., composed principally of seceders 
 who were in the Province before them, 
 had a firm footing in the country, and 
 that such an institution by providing 
 min's. was giving them a great advan- 
 tage. They therefore opposed the 
 institution as favou^'ing the seceders 
 in opposition to the Kirk of Scot. They 
 did not ask to put it down entirely, 
 hut they asked 2 things, thai Theology 
 should be removed from the institu- 
 tion, and that the ordinary branches of 
 a common sch. education should be in- 
 troduced. To meet the former demand 
 Dr. McG. removed his Theol. Glass to his 
 own house, instead of using a class 
 room in the institution, the use of 
 which had been granted by the trus- 
 tees ; not content with this they wished 
 to stop him from teaching it at all. 
 This he positively refused. The second 
 was virtually destroying the institution 
 as far as its originaf purpose was con- 
 cerned, and was unnecessary, as there 
 was a Grammar Sch. within a few rods 
 of the building. The controversy was 
 carried on vviih a virulence which it 
 is now scarcely possible to realize. 
 The opposition from these sources 
 involved Dr. McG. in a vast amount 
 of labour. His pen was constantly 
 employed, in various ways, writing 
 appeals and petitions to the legisla- 
 
MCC 
 
 260 
 
 MCC 
 
 ture, writing appeals to the Presb. 
 congregations, visiting them to collect 
 funds, and carrying on a scarcely- 
 interrupted controversy through the 
 press. His writings on this subject 
 were at first generally published in 
 the Acadian Recorder^ but aftei'wards 
 in the Colonial Patriot. More than once 
 he visited Scot, and appealed to the 
 Secession Synod and other dissenters, 
 from whom he received liberal aid. A 
 soc. was formed through his instrumen- 
 tality in Glasgow for aiding the insti- 
 tution and the missionary operations 
 of the Gh., which raised liberal contri- 
 butions for the object. Besides these 
 labours he visited Halifa.v and the 
 leading towns in the Lower Provinces, 
 delivering popular lectures on science, 
 especially chemistry, illustrated by 
 experiments, with the design of awake- 
 ning an interest in education. These 
 lectures were probably the first of the 
 kind in B. N. A. With the assistance of 
 his family he collected a museum of 
 Natural History, which was the finest 
 in the province at that time. Audubon 
 pronounced the collection of native 
 birds as the finest or among the finest 
 he had ever seen. To the discredit of 
 N. S., be it said, it was allowed to be 
 sold abroad. The result of all these 
 struggles in the Pictou Academy was 
 that in the year 1834 it was remodelled, 
 and those who were the most active in 
 their hostility were introduced into the 
 trust. This introduced the strife into 
 the Board of Trustees, and exchanged 
 external war for internal dissension. 
 The new trustees succeeded in getting a 
 part of the funds directed to teaching 
 the branches of a common sch. educa- 
 tion. This crippled the others so that 
 the trustees were soon involved in diffi- 
 culties as to paying the professors. 
 The friends of the institution had lost 
 heart and in a measure their confi- 
 dence, and after a few years struggling 
 Dr. McC. was removed, in the" vear 
 1838, to Dalhousie Coll., of which he 
 was the first principal. 
 
 We have been thus particular in 
 describing the founding and earlv 
 struggles of this institution for the 
 following reasons : 
 
 1 . The institution was the means of training 
 a large number of men for occupj-ing pi"omi- ' 
 nent stations of iisefulness in every sphere ! 
 
 of life. We may only mention such men in 
 Education as Dr. Dawson of McGill College, 
 and Dr. Ross, Principal of Dalhousie College ; 
 in the Ministry, the Kev. P.G.McGregor (Hal.) 
 and the late Rev. John McLean (Richibucto) ; 
 and in the Foreign Mission field, the Rev. 
 John Geddie of Aneiteum in the New He- 
 brides ; in Medicine, the late W. R. Grant, 
 Professor in Pennsylvania Medical Coll. • 
 at the Bar and in Politics, the late Jotham 
 Blanchard, the late George R. Young, the 
 present leader of the opposition in N. S., 
 A. G. Archibald, after Mr. Howe, the most 
 eloquent man in that Province, Hugh 
 Hoyles, late Attorney General of Newfound- 
 land, and if we are not mistaken, the present 
 Judge Ritchie of N. B. besides a large num- 
 ber who in less important spheres have been 
 showing the benefits of the training which 
 they received at the Institution. Two min's 
 trained at the institution were sent as mis- 
 sionaries to Can., the late Rev. AbaMcKenzie, 
 (Goderich.) and the present Rev. Wm. Fra- 
 eer, (Bondhead.) 
 
 2. It gave an impetus to the cause of educa- 
 tion such as can now scarcely be estimated. 
 When Dr. McC. began his laboui-s there was 
 scarcely a respectable common sch. in the 
 rural districts, at all events in the Eastern 
 parts of N. S., and a large portion of the 
 people being originally from the Highlands 
 of Scot, scarcely valued Education at all. 
 The result of Dr. McC's. labours was a pro- 
 digious change, which continues to this day. 
 Many who did not succeed in the learned 
 professions did much for the improvement of 
 the country by the sch's. which they taught. 
 Nearly all the young men who entered upon 
 the learned jirofessions were obhged during 
 their collegiate course to teach sch. in order 
 to obtain means to prosecute their studies, 
 so that a large number of good schools were 
 estabUshed throughout the various parts of 
 the Province. The sending forth of such a 
 number of young men diffused a desire for 
 knowledge even in the poorest settlements. 
 The keen discussions which the question 
 ehcited, excited attention to the subject of 
 education, both in the legislature and among 
 the general public. The other religious bodies 
 were also led to establish institutions for 
 teaching the higher branches and for the 
 training of young men for the ministry. 
 
 3. In a religious point of view the influence 
 of the Institution was wide sjiread. The 
 present influential position of Presbyte- 
 rianism in N. S. is largely the result of 
 Dr. McC's. labours in connexion mth it. 
 
 4. In a public point of view, out of 
 the Pictou Academj' discussions in the 
 countrj' and in the Legislature arose the 
 popular party which fought against iires- 
 ponsible power, lodged in the hands of a few, 
 sitting in secret, and controlling the whole 
 affairs of the Province. It was in these dis- 
 
MCG 
 
 261 
 
 MCG 
 
 cvissions that public oijinion began to be 
 brought to bear upon the govt., it was in 
 them that the assem. first began to act an 
 independent part, it was through them that 
 complete religious equality now happily 
 existing was established, and thus the foun- 
 dations were laid for those changes in their 
 political constitution which took place a 
 few years later. 
 
 We may here add a few words fi'om the 
 minute of the Synod of the Presb. Ch. of N. 
 S. at the time of Dr. McC's. decease. 
 
 " The many and useful labours in which, 
 for a long series of years, be was engaged, 
 together with his untiring energy and perse- 
 verance, often amid no small difficulty and 
 discouragement, they (the synod) would 
 highly appreciate. More particularly, they 
 would advert to his able and meritorious 
 defence of Protestantism, at an early period 
 of his residence in this Province ; to his sub- 
 sequent and arduous exertions in establishing 
 a literary and philosophical Institution in 
 the town of Pictou ; to the assiduity and care 
 with which for many years he toiled on behalf 
 of its interests, and presided in its manage- 
 ment ; and to the success of his exertions, 
 not merely in imparting to many young 
 men such an education as formed a solid 
 preparation to their occupying important 
 stations in life, in a manner creditable to 
 themselves and useful to the public ; but 
 also in exciting a decided taste for liberal 
 studies, especially in the Eastern section of 
 the Province. 
 
 " But the synod would attach peculiar 
 value to his services as their professor of 
 Divinity. The fruits of his labours in this 
 department are to be found not merely in 
 the Presbyterian Church of Nova Scotia, but 
 even in Canada and the United States, in the 
 ministrations of faithful men who received 
 from him their first lessons in Theology. 
 While the synod admired his varied and 
 extensive learning, they had perfect con- 
 fidence in his soundness in the faith. These 
 together with his experience, zeal and 
 acknowledged aptitude for imparting know- 
 ledge, rendered him an accomplished and 
 successful public instructor." 
 
 From an early period, as early as 
 1807-8, Dr. Mc C. was a contributor to 
 tlie newspaper press of N. S. He fre- 
 quently wrote in the Acadian Recorder. 
 In that journal some of his writings, 
 which have been published separately, 
 first appeared — such as William ; the 
 letters oi Stepsure^ a series of light and 
 amusing sketches of the social habits 
 of the people of N. S., particularly in 
 the rural districts ; the letters to Dr. 
 Burns, &c. Subsequently he wrote in 
 the Nova Scotian and the Colonial Pa- 
 ll* 
 
 triot. His newspaper writings are 
 diverse in point of style — some grave 
 and some gay, other on local contro- 
 versies, ecclesiastical and political. We 
 offer the opinion of the Rev. Geo. 
 Patterson, a highly competent critic on 
 his merits as an author and writer: 
 
 " The general style of all Dr. McC's. writings 
 is remarkably terse, vigorous and pointed. 
 The sentences are generally short and epi- 
 grammatic. In fact they would sometimes 
 read as a series of proverbs. All his writings 
 are marked by logical force and clearness. 
 In his controversial writings he showed him- 
 self a master of sarcasm, but this is generally 
 mixed with an irresistible drollery. The 
 style of controversy in those dayi was bitter, 
 and he hurled his weapons at his antagonists 
 in a manner that was crushing. Even yet 
 his controversial writings may be read with- 
 out regard to the particular subject of con- 
 troversy, just as one would read the diatribes 
 of Swift or the satires of Wolcott, merely 
 for the intellectual power and literary skill 
 which they manifest. Stepsure's letters again 
 are a mass of drollery, but convey many 
 lessons of practical wisdom. In his more 
 serious writings such as his Lectures on Theo- 
 logy, there is however not the slightest 
 appearance of these qualities, unlike humo- 
 rists like Rowland Hill, who mingled the 
 comic even with his most serious strains. 
 No body in reading these could have imagined 
 that he was the same writer who in another 
 sphere could overwhelm an antogonist by 
 most withering sarcasm, or make all hold 
 their sides by torrents of fun."

 '' It consists of two short tales or rather 
 sketches of colonial life, entitled respective!}', 
 • William,' and ' Melville.' The former 
 represents a Scotchman of the humbler 
 ranks of life emigrating to Nova Scotia, and 
 by his steady habits acquiring a competence 
 and a respectable position in society, but 
 not being of firm religious principle and 
 gradually falling into the dissipated habits 
 then so prevalent, went to ruin and ended 
 his days in the poor-house. The second 
 sketch is a sort of reverse picture. It des- 
 cribes a young man of a respectable but 
 reduced family emigrating with the view of 
 regaining the wealth and position of his 
 ancestors, succeeding in business for a time, 
 but finally meeting with reverses and seeking 
 consolation in religion, which he had pre- 
 viously neglected. The first he says in 
 the preface ' is a faithful delineation of a 
 character not uncommon among Scothmen 
 abroad.' The second bore more of a ficti- 
 tious character. Both sketches are interest- 
 ing, and in some parts extremely touching. 
 The style is the same pithy and epigram- 
 matic style as that of his other writings. I 
 think that he had not the dramatic art that 
 would have been required to make him an 
 accomplished tale wi-iter.'" — Rev. Geo. Pat- 
 terson.

 *' We would most earnestly recommend all 
 our readers to get the book and to place 
 it in their library side by side with the Ck)n- 
 fession of faith. It is in our opinion a 
 standard theological work, not only in its 
 lucid and scriptural exposition of' funda- 
 mental and vital doctrine, but in its trium- 
 phant refutation of error. We were never 
 more thoroughly satisfied, than by the perusal 
 of this volume that the system of Calvinisim,

 McCuLLY, Hon. Jonathan, Q. C. A N. S. 
 statesman and journ. B. in Cumber- 
 land, N. S., 1809. He studied for the 
 Bar, to which he was admitted in 1837, 
 and successfully practised his profes- 
 sion at Amherst, from that time until 
 1849. In early life he was brought into 
 notice as a contributor to the Acadian 
 Recorder, (Hal..) upon which paper he 
 was afterwards engaged for some years 
 as a regular writer. Mr. McC. com- 
 menced public life in 1847, by being 
 selected to fill a vacant seat in the Leg. 
 Council. In 1849 he removed to Hali- 
 fax, where he has since resided. For 
 some years previous to 1857, he was 
 Judge of Probate for that city and 
 the metropolitan county In that year 
 he went into opposition with his party, 
 and transferred his services from the 
 Recorder to the Morning Chronick and 
 Nova Scotian, a weekly and tri-weekly 
 journal, which was the organ of the 
 Liberal party. This he continued to 
 conduct with much ability up to I860, 
 when his party came back to power, 
 nd he went into office as Solicitor 
 Genl. and Chief Com. of Railways.

 existence of the Liberal administration, 
 and after the withdrawal of Messrs. 
 Young and Howe from public life, 
 Mr. McG. still held the position of chief 
 
 • Ed. on the above paper, and through 
 the aid of his powerful and vigorous 
 pen did much for the cause of his 
 party. In 1803 the Liberals again went 
 
 , into opposition. Li that year the subject 
 of the Union of the Maritime Provinces 
 was discussed by him in a series of 
 editorials in his paper, in which he 
 submitted the outlines of a scheme, 
 which met with much attention in all 
 the Colonies. Shortly afterwards the 
 subject was taken up in the legislature 
 of N. S., and resolutions passed in 
 favour of a joint Conference with the 
 Provinces interested. As leader of the 
 Opposition in the Upper Chamber, 
 Mr. McG. was appointed a delegate to 
 that Conference which met at Gliar- 
 lottetown in 1864, and to the larger 
 and more important one, arising there- 
 from, at Quebec, in the same year. 
 In the deliberations of both he bore 
 a prominent part. Up to 1865 he 
 still continued Ed. of the Morning 
 Chronicle (which had become a daily,) 
 and gave a strong and hearty support 
 to the Confederation project. Early 
 in that year, however, through dif- 
 ferences of opinion with the prop., 
 Mr. Annand, who was throughout op- 
 posed to the Union of N. S. with Can., 
 Mr. McG. retired from the paper, and 
 became ed. of the Morning Journal^ the 
 name of which he changed to the 
 Unionist, tie is still ed. of that paper. 
 Under his management the Unionist 
 has largely extended its circulation, 
 
 / and rendered important aid m effect- 
 ing Confederation. In 1866-7 Mr. McG. 
 
 ; attended the Colonial Conference in 
 
 ' London as a delegate. He is still in the 
 active prosecution of his profession at 
 Halifax.

 Coll. (Gobourg.) Early in life was 
 admitted to practise as an Attorney, 
 but it was not until 1861 that he became 
 
 a Barrister of U. C. In 1848 he estab- 
 lished the Canada Farmer (Tor.,) a semi- 
 monthly agricultural, scientific and 
 lilerary'journal, which in the following 
 year was merged in the Can. Agricul- 
 turist, a monthly agricultural journal ; 
 this paper he continued to publish and 
 conduct until 1858, when he disposed 
 of the copyright to the Board of Agri- 
 culture, U.^ G. In 1850 he founded the 
 well-known semi-weekly newspaper, 
 called the North American, of which he 
 was chief ed. from its first issue until it 
 was merged in the Daily Globe, in 1857. 
 The North American, as^ the leading 
 Reform organ of the day, enjoyed a 
 wide circulation and wielded consi- 
 derable political influence in U. G. Its 
 editorials were forcible, vigorous and 
 trenchant ; and were powerful auxi- 
 liaries in attack or defence, to the party 
 Avhose mouthpiece it was. The extent 
 of its influence was felt by the Prime 
 Minister of the day, who, it is said, 
 waited upon Mr. McD. as ed., to solicit 
 his countenance and sanction to the 
 nomination of a well-known mem. 
 of the Reform party to a seat in 
 the Cabinet. It was owing largely 
 to the superior ability manifested 
 by Mr. McD., while discharging the 
 duties pertaining to his editorial office, 
 and to the intimate and thorough ac- 
 quaintance with all questions relating 
 to politics and the science of Govern- 
 ment generally, which he displayed, 
 that he was regarded, at that time, as 
 one of the "• coming men " of his party. 
 It was not, however, until 1858 that he 
 entered the Legislature. During the 
 interval, between the discontinuance 
 of his paper and this latter event, and 
 up to 1860, he acted as political writer 
 to the Globe, a part of the time having 
 entire editorial control of the political 
 department of that journal. From 1862 
 until 1864 he was Commissioner of 
 Crown Lands in the Liberal Adminis- 
 tration of Mr. Sandfield Macdonald. 
 In the latter year he took otfice as 
 Provl. Secy, in the Coalition Adminis- 
 tration ofSir E. P. Tache, an office 
 which he held until the Union of the B. 
 N A. Provinces in 1867, when he was 
 appd. to his present oflice of Min. of 
 Public Works for the Dominion of Can. 
 At the same time the Queen was pleased 
 to create him a Companion of the Civil

 division of the order of the Bath. In 
 1805 he was Chairman of the com- 
 mission appointed to open Trade Rela- 
 tions with the West Indies, Brazil and 
 Mexico. He was a mem. of the Ghar- 
 lottetown and Qnehec Union Con- 
 ferences, and in 1866 proceeded to Eng. 
 as one of the delegates from B. A. 
 appd. to confer with the Imperial Govt, 
 in the framing of the Confederation 
 Act. Mr. McD. is a very flnent and 
 effective pnblic speaker, and the great 
 • snccess of the Union Govt, at the polls, 
 daring the late general election, is 
 largely ascribed to his eloqnent public 
 advocacy of the policy of the new 
 Administration. He may be considered 
 as the bona fide leader of the Reform 
 party in Can.

 MgGee, Hon. Thomas D'Arcy, B. C. L., 
 M. R. I. A. A Can. author and statesman. 
 B. at Carlingford, Irel. 13 April, 1825. 
 Descended from an old Ulster family. 
 Ed. at Wexford. When only 17 years 
 of age left his native land, and emi- 
 grated to the U. S., where he joined the 
 newspaper press of Boston, delivered 
 lectures on various subjects, and even- 
 tually made his mark as a public 
 speaker. In 1845 a newspaper article 
 from his pen, on an Irish subject, 
 having attracted the notice of the late 
 
 Mr. Daniel O'Connell, he was offered 
 a position in the ed. staff of the Frec- 
 mans Journal (Dub.,) which he ac- 
 cepted, and returned to Irel. Of the 
 succeeding events in his career, while 
 he remained there, a good account is 
 given by Mr. Fennings Taylor : 
 
 "Ardent by temperament, and enthusi- 
 astic by disposition, it was impossible for 
 Mr. McGee to keep within the bounds of 
 moral force which Mr. O'Connell had pres- 
 cribed, and which the newspaper he served 
 was instructed to advocate. Mr. McGee felt 
 that such fetters galled him, and he became 
 impatient under their restraint. The habit 
 of maintaining his own convictions, was, and 
 is, a necessity of his condition. Following 
 the lead of his feelings, he determined at all 
 hazards to associate himself with the more 
 advanced and enthusiastic of the liberal 
 party, then known by the name of " Young 
 Ireland." This section or co /me, for it was 
 scarcely a party, possessed many attractions 
 for such an adherent. Besides the name, 
 and the bright, alluring, misleading quality 
 of youth, which that name symbolized and 
 expressed, the coterie was made up of those 
 many-hued forms of intellectual mosaic 
 work which men generally admire and rarely 
 trust ; very charming in our sight and very 
 perishable in our service. It was composed, 
 at least at first, almost altogether of young 
 barristers, young doctors, young college men 
 and young journalists, most of them under 
 thirty, and many under twenty-five years of 
 age. Mr. McGee was probably their most 
 youthful member, for when his association 
 with them commenced he was not of age. 
 Of such hot blood was the ' Young Ireland ' 
 party compounded, that little surprise was 
 occasioned, and none was expressed, when 
 its mischievous revels where broken up by 
 the riot act. If we understand the history 
 of those times aright, the policy of moral 
 force which had guided O'Connell was not, in 
 the first instance, discarded by his younger 
 and more ardent disciples. 'I'hey wished to 
 accomplish the purpose of ' The Liberator,' 
 only they desired to shorten the time and 
 accelerate the speed of the operation. They 
 thought that O'Connell was ' old and slow.' 
 They felt that they were young and active. 
 In their minds the rivalry between age and 
 . youth was renewed, provoking the old issues 
 and re enacting the old results. Keeping in 
 view the great end which they had set tliem- 
 selves to accomplish, they nevertheless 
 sought, in the first instance, to move by 
 literary, rather than by political appliances. 
 Accordingly they planned, among other 
 works, a series of stirring shilHng volumes 
 for the people, entitled tlie ' Library of Ire- 
 land.' The famine of 1847 extinguislied the 
 enterprize, but not until twenty volumes of 
 this new National Library had been published.

 Of the above number Mr. McGee was the 
 author of two. One. a series of biographies 
 of illustrious Irishmen of the seventeenth 
 centurj', and the other a memoir of * Art. 
 McMurrough,' a half forgotten Irish king of 
 the fourteenth centurj-. Of course, works 
 published xmder such circumstances, and 
 forming parts of such a series, would at first, 
 at all events, be well received and widely 
 circulated ; but their merits could not have 
 been of a mere evanescent character, for we 
 are credibly informed that now, after a 
 period of twenty years, the books we have 
 mentioned still retain their popularity. 
 
 " 3klr. McGee, if we remember aright, has 
 somewhere said, with respect to the trans- 
 actions of those times, that ' Young Ireland,' 
 not content to restore the past, endeavored 
 to re-enact it ; not content to write history, 
 tried, to use a familiar phrase of 3Ir. John 
 San^field Maa.lonald, to ' make it, ' and 
 we have little doubt, could we see the intel- 
 lectual machinery which preceded those 
 events, we should discover that none more 
 than Mr. McGee have assiduously labored to 
 manufacture historj'. The coterie grew into 
 a confederation of which Mr. MeGee was, we 
 believe, the chief promoter and chosen 
 secretarj'. It was not without adherents, 
 neither was it without attraction, and espe- 
 cially to the class, a by no means inconside- 
 rable one, whose judgment is controlled by 
 their imagination, and who seem to think 
 that feeling and wisdom are identical qua- 
 lities. We dechne to indicate those transac- 
 tions by any particular name. We all know 
 that they were failures, and since time 
 tempers judgment, we venture to beUeve 
 that the actors of that da\' concur with the 
 critics of the present time in thinking that 
 they were foUies." 
 
 H.iving made his escape to Am., Mr. 
 McG. resumed his old occupation as a 
 journ. and lecturer. He published two 
 news papers in succession, The New York 
 Nation, and The American Celt. But Re- 
 publican institutions and mannere be- 
 came distasteful to him — with time 
 and reflection a great change had come 
 in his political views. Accordingly, 
 early in 1857, he accepted an invita- 
 tion, extended to hiiti by his friends 
 in Can., to remove to Montreal, where 
 he has since resided. In the same year 
 he commenced the publication there 
 of the well known Ncu: Era newspaper. 
 At the general election which followed, 
 he was returned to Parliament as one 
 of the membei-s for the city of Mon- 
 treal, which he still represents in the 
 Dominion Parliament. From Mav 
 1802 to Mav 1863 he held office as 
 
 President of the Executive Council, 
 and again from April 1864 until the 
 Union of the Provinces in 1867, as 
 Min. of Agriculture, .&«., and as such 
 represented Can. at the late Dublin 
 Exhibition, and the Exposition Uni- 
 verselle at Paris. As a public man 
 in Can.. Mr. McG. has identified him- 
 self with two prominent and impor- 
 tant subjects — Immigration, and the 
 Union of the Provinces, of both of 
 which he has been an earnest and an 
 eloquent advocate. As a public speaker 
 and lecturer he is considered to be 
 without a rival in the new Dominion. 
 He has also streneously laboured, and 
 with some success, towards the esta- 
 blishment of a B. A. literature. In 
 addition to the works whose titles 
 we give below, Mr. McG. has contri- 
 buted largely to the periodical litera- 
 ture of the old and new worlds. Of

 " Mr. McGee has done his best to give a 
 fair, impartial, and faithful histoiy of his 
 native country ; and though less accurate in 
 language, and less brilliant in style than we 
 looked for, his work is probably the best 
 popular history of Ireland that has been 
 published." — Brownson^ s Quarterly Rev. 
 
 " His narrative, always clear, is often 
 graphic. The reader is shown how much of 
 
 Irish history is tradition, how much is fact. 
 The annals of Ireland from the death of 
 Queen Elizabeth to the Emancipation Bill of 
 1829 have never been so clearly written. 
 The history from the death of Queen Anne to 
 the year 1829 is as interesting as a romance, 
 yet thoroughly reliable. Mr. McGee has 
 produced a work that will live." — Am. Lit.

 " No man before Mr. McGee has brought 
 out the inner life of Irish history — the poetry

 Ireland's storji, well told, or rather painted, 
 as far as words can paint historical events, 
 historical portraits." — Tablet, (N. Y.)

 " Mr. D'Arcy McGee, the Canadian Minis- 
 ter of Agriculture and Immigration, was a 
 visitor to this country in the spring of last 
 year, and the speeches which he delivered 
 to Irish audiences attracted much attention 
 from their novelty, eloquence, and boldness. 
 He then told a story which no one had ven- 
 tured to tell before him, and represented 
 Irish life in America without colouring or 
 distortion. He tells us now, through a letter 
 which he has addressed to the editors of the 
 Irish papers across the Atlantic, what are 
 the elements of this Irish life which enter 
 into the compound of Fenianism. If any 
 one in this country wonders why American 
 citizens of Irish extraction should be think- 
 ing of a raid upon Canada instead of mind- 
 ing their own affairs, Mr. McGee will furnish 
 a solution of the enigma." — Times, (Lon.)

 " We have perused most of the Remains 
 with much pleasure and we may add edifi- 
 cation. They imdoubtedly manifest " a 
 vigour of thought, a clearness and simplicity 
 of style, and an accjuaintance with Theology 
 and familiarity with scripture, which entitle 
 their author to a high place among Theolo- 
 gians. We have never seen a more thorough 
 and satisfactory discussion of the Impreca- 
 tions in the Psalms than this volume contains. 
 The essay on Baptism is also singularly 
 candid, clear and conclusive. • * * 
 
 *' The essay on the IMillennium contains 
 many very interesting, and some original 
 and startling speculations. 
 
 " We have read the letter on Slavery with 
 heart glowing with admiration for the gene- 
 rosity, the Christian enthusiasm, the fervid 
 elocjuence of the man. It is almost forgotten 
 in this Pro\ance that ever the slavery ques- 
 tion was discussed in our midst with great 
 ability and a good deal of feeling on both 
 sides. Dr. McGregor took an active and 
 honourable part in the discussion. The 
 letter here republished was originally ad- 
 dressed to the Rev. Mr. Cock of Truro, who 
 had tivo female slaves. Of the £27 received 
 in money by Dr. McGregor for liis first years 
 salary, £2(J went to pay for the freedom of 
 a woman, held as a slave by Matthew Harris, 
 of Pictou. And he paid £50 in all to effect 
 her liberty. This was an aet of charity 
 rarely equalled anywhere and never in 
 Nova Scotia. He subsequently devoted a 
 large portion of his scantj' means to relieve 
 and assist such negroes as were within his 
 reach. We should look upon it as a 
 strange anomaly now a days were a Presby- 
 terian minister to possess slaves ; yet Mr. 
 Cock was by no means singular in his day. 
 Slaves were then held in many parts of this 
 Province, and good men were ready to quote 
 scripture in defence of slaveholding and 
 slavetrading, even as it is now done in the

 " The work contains the story of the life 
 of a remarkable man, who lived in a remark- 
 able period of the ecclesiastical history of 
 the Province, or rather of these Lower Pro- 
 vinces, and who bore a remarkable part in 
 moulding the ecclesiastical and spiritual 
 character of a large portion of their inhabi- 
 tants, and in organizing and establishing the 
 Presbyterian Church of Nova Scotia. 
 
 " The work is most instructive. It cannot 
 fail to be a great lesson teacher to ministers 
 and peojjle ; and through it Dr. McGregor 
 though dead for nearly thirty years, will 
 read many heartstirring admonitions to the 
 ministry of our day, and many an induce- 
 ment to be instant in season and out of 
 season, assuring them that like minded and 
 like hearted with him, in due time they will 
 reaj) if they faint not. 
 
 "Probably this work will be as interesting 
 and useful to the imported as to the native 
 ministry of these Provinces, whether con- 
 nected with the Presbyterian or any other 
 denomination of Christians, * * But all 
 ministers must if they read in a proper 
 manner be the better of getting and reading 
 this book. It will teach them in what spirit 
 to minister and for what end. It will pre- 
 sent them with an all but perfect specimen 
 of a man at once an evangelist and a pastor. 
 The messenger and the overseer were never 
 more happily combined than in Dr. McGregor, 
 so that while he was ' so journeying oft ' 
 from Pictou round about the ' Island,' and 
 to the furthest verge of the other Province, 
 and proclaimed the glad tidings of great 
 joy to the lonely settlers in the unbroken 
 forests, they will see him among his own 
 people as a nurse among her charge, or a 
 father in his family ' ^varning every man that 
 he might piesent every man perfect in the 
 day of the Lord Jesus.' 
 
 " In the simplicity and godly sincerity of 
 his deportment — in the unselfishness and 
 un world liness of his spirit, in the absence of 
 all ministerial pride and pretension and the 
 posses(>ion of ministerial power to an extent 
 rarely equalled, and based on the qualities 
 just mentionetl — in his entire devotedness 
 and unwearying assiduity in the work to 
 which he was committed, — and in his exclu- 
 sive dependance on God as faithful to his 
 promise manifested every day by his devo- 
 tional habits — will they see a model minister 
 making i'ull proof of his ministry, furnishing 
 an example there is honour in imitating. 
 
 '' And the book is full of instruction to 
 the people as well as to the minister. It 
 will show them at what cost their privileges 
 were obtained and how their existence and 
 continuance depended under God, on the 
 toil and travail, on the prayers with strong 
 crying and tears, on the work and the 
 warfare of a man who counted all things 
 but loss, if so be that his kinsmen according 
 to the flesh, who had left the scenes of their 
 birth and the place of their fathers sepul- 
 chres for a home in the new world, might 
 have a better and more enduring substance 
 in the heavenly country." — Rev. Robt. Skd-

 McLachlan, Alexander. A Can. poet. 
 B. at Johnston, Scot., 1820. He is the 
 son of a mechanic, and although in 
 youth sharing but few of the advan- 
 tages of education, was from the first 
 a voracious reader and soon became 
 acquainted with the works of the prin- 
 cipal Brit, authors. In early life he 
 was apprenticed to a tailor, at which 
 trade he worked, for many years. He 
 became connected with Ihe Chartist 
 movement, but like many another, 
 after visiting the neighbouring States, 
 was completely cured of his longing 
 for political changes. In 1840, he took 
 up his residence in Can., and for a 
 short time after his arrival laboured 
 in the bush. Since his advent as an 
 author and lecturer he has lived at the 
 village of Ei-in, U. C. Mr. McL. has 
 contributed very materially towards 
 the establishment of a national litera- 
 ture in Canada. His chief aim as a 
 poet, is to be considered the exponent 
 of the views of the working classes of 
 this country — to be to us what Burns 
 was to Scot. The desire to ameliorate 
 the condition of his fellow craftsmen 
 is traced in many of his pieces; he 
 shews the mental workings of the 
 working man, for the purpose of get- 
 ting those of the rich who obtain 
 their living by head work instead of 
 hand work, or without work of any 
 kind, to see that the real distinction 
 between them consists on their part I 
 less in intrinsic worth than in fortui- ■ 
 tous antecedents. In this noble effort 
 he stands shoulder to shoulder with 
 such men as Burns and Miller. As 
 a proof of the excellence and popu- 
 larity of his verse, we may mention 
 that some years since he was the win- 
 ner of the prize, offered by the Glasgow 
 Workman newspaper, for a national 
 song for Scot. We may add that the 
 prize was open for competition to the

 entire world. The Worknum announ- 
 ced the name of the fortunate compe- 
 titor in the following terms : — 
 
 " We have received numerous contribu- 
 tions from Scotsmen in the Colonies, and 
 have great pleasure in awarding the prize to 
 Alexander McLachlan, for his national song 
 of the Halls of Holhjrood. Mr. McLachlan' s 
 patriotism and intelligence are a credit to 
 the land of his birth and we hope an acqui- 
 sition to the land of his adoption." 
 
 In 1803, he was appointed hy the 
 Can. Govt., to lecture in Gt. Brit, in 
 favour of emigration to this country. 
 He has also lectured in the pi-incipal 
 cities and towns of the province on 
 various literary subjects. 
 
 "The poet's elocution is really excellent — 
 chaste, simple and earnest — yet, this is the 
 least of his praise. His poetry is of a very 
 high order. The address to Garibaldi is, all 
 national j^redilections apart, equal to ' Scots 
 wha hae wi' Wallace bled ;' and we cannot 
 help thinking, that were this soul-stirring 
 lyric turned into good Italian, and sung 
 through the streets of Rome and Venice, 
 it would be no feeble auxiliary to the cause 
 of liberty in Italy." — Rev. J, George, D. D.

 "No one capable of judging of high 
 oetical talent can rise from the perusal of 
 this volume without the conviction, that at 
 length, a poet has arisen among us. The 
 world has innumerable good versifiers, but 
 McLachlan takes his place far above the 
 choir of mere euphonius singers. He is 
 obviously one of those gifted men who add 
 to the real capital of the world's stock of 
 thought. It may take some time, yet assured- 
 ly the day will come, when every Scotchman 
 of taste will place these poems in his library, 
 near the poems of Burns, and in doing so, 
 will feel a generous pride in thinking, that 
 if his country produced in the last century 
 the greatest of all lyrical poets, the same 
 country has given birth, in the present cen- 
 
 tury, to another poet, sprung also from the 
 laboring class, whose songs will ere long be 
 sung with delight in many parts oi'the world, 
 and whose weighty thoughts, in fragments 
 of verse, will yet be woven into the common 
 speech of men." — Globe, (Tor.)

 McPherson, John. A N. S. poet. B. at 
 Liverpool N. S., 4 Febv., 1817. D. at 
 BrookfieldN. S., 26 Ju'ly, 1845. He 
 received an ordinary Eng. education at 
 his native place, where be resided 
 until his 17th year, and afterwards 
 had the benefit of brief tuition from 
 Mr. A. M. Giduey, at Brookfield. 
 
 *' McPherson' s boyhood" as his biographer 
 Thompson tells us, ''was distinguished for 
 seriousness, for avoidance of rough boisterou* 
 play, for fondness of retirement, and for an 
 ambition to improve his mind, and mayhap 
 to win some literary fame." 
 
 A severe personal injury which he 
 received in early life, in a playful con- 
 test with a young friend, caused him 
 some months confinement to the house, 
 and frequent subsequent weakness and 
 pain. This, doubtless, exercised an in- 
 fluence over his after career, and gave 
 him still further opportunities of pur- 
 suing his favorite studies. 
 
 " He had intellectual qualifications for 
 the teacher's avocation, " continues Mr. 
 Thompson, "he studied educational topics 
 carefully ; he wrote on some departments of 
 the profession ; but he loved leisiu"e and 
 meditative peac«. his physical health required 
 repose and solace, — his mind was sensitive 
 and yearned for some reasonable wordly 
 competence. Such requirements, natural 
 and praiseworthy in their way, were sadly 
 out of keeping with the noise, and roughness 
 and fagging, and poor pecunmrj' renumera 
 tion of such schools as came witliin his per- 
 sonal expeiience. Xo wonder that under 
 the changes of locality, incident to his 
 teaching years, his prevailing feelings were 
 those of difficulty and gloom : his chiet 
 emplojTnent was not congenial or produc 
 tive, and want of dailj- means for comfort, 
 became almost a daily fear." 
 
 Before taking up the employment of 
 sch. teaching, McP. lived in Halifax for 
 a short time, where he was employed 
 as a elk., and shortly afterwards went 
 on a voyage to the West Indies. 
 
 In 1841, he married. He taught sch.

 for 2 years at Kempt Settlement, and 
 subsequently at Maitland. We are 
 unable to state when he first began to 
 contribute. to the press, but it must 
 have been when very young, for his 
 pieces, which generally appeared un- 
 der his initials, were read and known 
 in N. S., for many years previous to 
 his lamented and untimely decease. 
 They generally appeared in the local 
 journals ; he also wrote for the Olive 
 Branch, a mag., which was ed. by his 
 friend Miss Sarah Herbert. His whole 
 life was a series of difficulties, troubles 
 and discontents. An enfeebled con- 
 stitution rendered him helpless to 
 combat the stern realities of the 
 world — his temperament was quick 
 and uneven, and he was extremely 
 sensitive : an unkind word or criticism 
 having the eff'ect of making him un- 
 happy for a whole day. He had in- 
 dulged in the hope of having a home 
 of his own, no matter how small and 
 contracted it mightbe in its dimensions. 
 The Literary Soc, the Highland Soc, 
 (Hal.,) and several friends'in the same 
 city, subscribed funds to assist him in 
 his cherished object. He purchased a 
 plot of ground upon which he erected 
 a cottage, in which he lived for a short 
 period ; his pecuniary difficulties forced 
 him to dispose of his newly acquired 
 property, and he shortly afterwards 
 died beneath the roof of a relation. 
 The best of his poems are contained 
 in the volume published under the 
 editorship of Mr. Thompson, 17 years 
 after the death of their author.

 " John McPherson's inexperience of socie- 
 ty and unfitness for the money making con- 
 flicts of tins life, combined with weak health, 
 were doubtless the real causes of his unsuc- 
 cessful lot. Sir Walter Scott said wisely 
 that a man ' might make literature his staff', 
 but not liis crutch,' and perhaps our Nova 
 
 Scotian poet made the mistake not uncom- 
 mon to young writers, of expecting too 
 much from ' the vision and tlie faculty 
 divine.' But the story of McPherson's life— 
 delicately and conscientiously told by his 
 chosen biographer— its honest struggle, its 
 unafitected purity and domestic tenderness, 
 its reasonable ambition, and its sad and 
 baffled close, is a more pathetic poem than 
 any he ever wrote. But he who watches over 
 us all did not quite forget him, and the 
 unfailing love and care of his wife enabled 
 him to bear with gentleness and comparative 
 fortitude the gloom, privation and pain of 
 his latter days. 
 
 " These poems are not imaginative or pic- 
 torial in any great degree, — they are not 
 aglow with gorgeous description, or the fire 
 of sustained passion, — but they are melo- 
 dious, tender, and original. They are not 
 the reflex of liis reading, they are his own 
 genuine utterance. Grace and persj^icuity 
 of expression, usually one of the charms last 
 acquired by accomplished and well-trained 
 authors, seems to have been the unconscious 
 possession of this one ; and when we remem- 
 ber how little he was aided in that way by the 
 society of fluent talkers, the suggestions of 
 judicious critics, or the influence of early 
 discipline, we venture to conclude that he 
 was taught and endowed very much as the 
 ravens are fed and the lilies clothed." —

 McQueen, Thomas. A Can. journ. B. in

 to Can. he had published, between 
 1836 and 1850, three volumes of poetry, 
 which have been so popular that they 
 have run through three editions each. 
 His poetry took a political turn. Mr. W. 
 W. Smith says of his literary efforts 
 in Can. : 
 
 " Some of his Canadian pieces in verse, 
 which are not numerous, are verj^ beautiful. 
 Of these, we remember Our oum Irroad Lake, 
 and others. He entered heartily, though 
 too late in life to effect much with his o\\ti 
 pen, into the plans of those who were and 
 are seeking to establish and build up a 
 native literature among us. Some years ago, 
 he ended an editorial on the subject, with 
 the earnest appeal, ' Will nobody write a few 
 songs for Canada.' " 
 
 From an affectionate and well-written 
 obituary notice of Mr. McQ. in the 
 Si'jnal, which we reproduce, we glean 
 particulars relative to his early career 
 in Scot., and his subsequent labours in 
 Can., not, however, holding ourselves 
 responsible for the political animus of

 ** Thomas McQueen was bom of humble 
 parentage in Ayrshire, Scotland. For the 
 position be afterwards acquired, he was but 
 Utile indebted to educational advantages in 
 early life. He had attended school but a 
 few months, when he was taken from it, to 
 assist his parents in their toil for subsistence. 
 About his tenth j^ear he met with the acci- 
 dent that occasioned the lameness which at- 
 tended him through life. This disqualifying 
 him for a time for out door-labour, was a cir- 
 cumstance that exerted great influence on 
 hisaft^r life, for it inspired him with an incli- 
 nation to devote himself to books and solitarj' 
 reflection. His natural genius had thus an 
 opportunity of developing, and by his efforts 
 to cultivate the powers of his mind, and ' 
 store it with useful knowledge, he grew up 
 a well eflucated, although in the strictest 
 sense of the word, a self trained man. In 
 his fifteenth or sixteenth j^ear he engaged in 
 the business of a stone mason, and continued 
 in that emplojinent while he remained in 
 Scotland. In ids intervals of toil, however, 
 he found time for the cultivation of his 
 intellect, and for devoting a portion of his 
 attention both to literature and politics. 
 During the great agitation for ParUamentary 
 Reform, Mr. McQueen distinguished himself 
 as an ardent and able leader of the class. to 
 whom he belonged. As a speaker, and by 
 his contributions to the periodical press, he 
 took conspicuous rank among the advocates 
 of the rights of the working man. He pu- 
 bhshed also several volume of jwetry, through 
 which the ardour of his political sjTnpathies 
 constantly bums; and he made vigorous 
 eflbrts to elevate the minds of the working 
 classes by the weekly issue of a series of essays 
 and lectures on a variety of subjects connec- 
 te{l with Pohtical Economy, Education and 
 Morals. Mr. McQueen was but little known 
 in Canada, in his character as a poet. He 
 probably found in coming to this country, 
 that among a practical people such as ours, 
 in contributing his mite towards the procuring 
 of needed reforms he could hit the mark 
 more <lirectly and effectively by the use of 
 plain intelligible prose, than by indulging in 
 imagmative flights of poetry. In 184:2 he 
 emigrated from Scotland to Canada, and 
 settling in the comity of Renfrew, resumed 
 his occupation as a stone-mason. But he was j 
 not long here, ere his sympathies with the 
 popular cause actively enlisted him in the I 
 struggle for Responsible Government, which ! 
 was then agitating the covmtrj'. He again be- 
 came a writer for the press, and numerous ar- 
 ticles from his pen, published in the Baihurst 
 Courier (Perth) on the political questions of I 
 the day, attracted much notice, and ehcited j 
 universal pi-aise from the hberal party. After j 
 the election of 18-17, he was induced by the \ 
 Hon. M. Cameron to risk the establislunent j 
 of a newspaper in the co.;nty of Huron, which | 
 till then had been unrepresented by the ; 
 
 press, and on the 4th February, 1848, Mr, 
 McQueen issued the first member of the 
 Huron Signal. The great question of Res- 
 ponsible Government had just been satis- 
 factorily settled by the decisive triumph of 
 the Liberal party at the polls, but, that 
 having been disposed of, there were many 
 practical reforms which it was necessary for 
 the good of the country should be carried 
 out. Among these were the opening of 
 King's College to the community generally, 
 irrespective of creed, the settlement of the 
 principles of a national system of education, 
 and the secularisation of the Clergy Reserves. 
 Into the discussions of these and many other 
 questions of nearly equal importance Mr. 
 McQueen at once threw himself with the 
 whole force and earnestness of his character, 
 and fully maintained the reputation he had 
 accjuired as one of the ablest political writers 
 in the Province. In 1852 he assisted in 
 establishing the Canadian, a newspaper pu- 
 blished in Hamilton, and continued to con- 
 duct it till 1854, when he returned to Gode- 
 rich, and resumed his editorial labours on 
 the Signal. In the same year he offered 
 himself as a candidate for the representation 
 of Huron and Bruce, in opposition to Mr. 
 Caylej', but the people had lost confidence 
 in the Hinck's Administration, of which Mr. 
 McQueen at that time was a supporter, and 
 he was defeated. At the genei-al election of 
 1857, after Mr. Cayley and his friends had 
 been tried and foimd wanting, Mr. McQueen 
 did not himself re-appear as a candidate, but 
 gave efficient service in securing the defeat 
 of Mr. Cayley, and through that gentleman's 
 defeat, the condemnation by the most popu- 
 lar constituency in the Province of the jjolicy 
 and conduct of the Coalition formed in 1854. 
 During the present contest, although battling 
 with disease, he gave what assistance he 
 could to the Liberal cause, and as we have 
 said, died in hamess, the veiy number of 
 the Signal which announced his death, cont- 
 aining an earnest and urgent appeal from his 
 pen to the people of Huron and Bruce to do 
 their duty to their countiy in the present 
 crisis. 
 
 " At a time Ukethis our cause can ill spare 
 the advocacy of so able and fervent a worker 
 as Thomas McQueen. His removal by the 
 hand of death leaves a blank in our ranks 
 which it may be difficult to fill. We speak 
 of him as a party man, for such he was 
 strongly and decidedly. In the struggle of 
 opi^osite parties and principles, he knew 
 there was a right side and a wrong side, and 
 to what he thought the right party priciples 
 he deUberatelj' attached himself, and worked 
 for them, with wholehearted zeal. It is not, 
 however to his party alone that he is a loss ; 
 the whole country is the loser when such men 
 as he are taken away. We have amongst 
 us few who unite in so eminent a degree as 
 did Thomas McQueen, the chai-acter of the 
 
MCW

 vigorous independent thinker, and the prac- 
 tical efficient worker, and the removal of such 
 a man furnishes good cause for sorrow and 
 regret on the i^art of the entire community."

 through his instrumentality that both 
 were finally constructed. Mr. M. de- 
 signed many other equally important 
 works and schemes for the improve- 
 ment of trade, and the development of 
 the natural resources of Gan. He sat 
 in the U. G. legislature from 1832 till 
 the Union, and subsequent to that 
 event held a seat in the two branches 
 of parliament, in succession, at his 
 death being a mem. of the Leg. Goun. 
 We understand that a memoir of his 
 long, eventful and useful life, is being 
 prepared for the press, and will shortly 
 be given to the public. Mr. M. contri- 
 buted largely to the Gan. newspaper 
 press, especially to the Niagara Gleaner, 
 on subjects connected with the devel- 
 opment of the trade and industrial 
 resources of the Province.

 May of that year, assisted him in estab-

 1810 proceeded to Kingston, U. C, the

 ed the only journal published to the

 he disposed of his office and the good-

 1 or 2 other journals, commenced, in 
 1828, the Gazette and Religious Advocate^ 
 of which he continued ed. and prop, 
 until 1830. He then undertook the 
 management of the Canadian Watchman, 
 and in the following year moved to 
 Prescott, where he founded and ed. the 
 Grenville Gazette, the first paper pub- 
 lished in that place. In 1 833 he dis

 ton, where after some slight connection 
 with 1 of the papers he was, in 1835, 
 received into the Meth. Gh. as a travel-

 Miller, Mrs. Maria, (formerly Miss Mor-

 still resides. Whilst still quite young, 
 attracted attention by the indications 
 she gave of artistic taste and power. 
 Besides exhibiting skill in the various 
 departments of painting and drawing, 
 her tastes led her to make a special 
 study of llower-painting, and in this 
 branch of art she has achieved remar- 
 kable success. Animated by a spirit 
 of originality and a praiseworthy pride 
 of country, she devoted her talents to 
 the task of portraying the beautiful 
 Wild Flowers of her native land. 
 Those who consider themselves best 
 acquainted with the rich and varied 
 Flora of the Acadian provinces, will be 
 hardly able to appreciate the magni- 
 tude of the labour involved, or the 
 excellence of the result achieved by 
 ,^.,Mrs. M. until they see the volumes of 
 ^ her work, containing as they do one 
 of the most pleasing and valuable con- 
 tributions made to modern Botanical 
 "\ Science and Floral Art. Specimens of 
 °,', her later paintings were sent to the 
 "'Exhibition (Lon.) of 1862, but unfor- 
 tunately arrived too late for competi- 
 tion with other works of art ; their 
 merits, however, were highly praised 
 ''by the London Press. W^e understand 
 
 that Mrs. M. proposes to continue the 
 publication of the Flora of N. S. and 
 N. B., and may hereafter paint that of 
 Canada.

 ment in Holland, and was at the night 
 attack on Bergen-op-Zoom, in 1814, 
 where he was wounded. In 1819 emi- 
 grated to Gape of Good Hope. Return- 
 ing to Eng. in 1829, he there married, in 
 1831, Miss Susanna Strickland, and in 
 the following year came to Gan., where 
 he has since resided. In 183 1 he wrote 
 an account of his adventure with an 
 elephant in Africa, for the Librarij of 
 Entertaining Knowledge^ and about same 
 time, an account of the Gampaign in 
 Holland, for the United Service Journal^ 
 which was afterwards published in 
 book-form, together with other narra- 
 tives of the war from different pens.

 MooDiE, Mrs. Susanna. A Can. authoress- 
 Wife of the above. Well known in 
 Gan. and Gt. Brit, for her works, and as 
 an extensive contributor to the periodi- 
 cal Literature of both countries. B. at 
 Bungay, Go. Suffolk, Eng., 6 Dec, 
 1803. She is a mem. of the talented 
 Strickland family of Beydon Hall, in 
 the above county ; four of her sisters, 
 Elizabeth, Agues, (the best known), 
 Jane, and Mrs. Traill, (whom see,) have 
 each contributed to the Literature of 
 the day. Both Mrs. M. and her sisters 
 were ed. by their father, who is repre- 
 sented to have been a gentleman of 
 education, refined taste, and some 
 wealth. Mrs. M. was only in her 13th 
 year, when her father died. As early 
 as her 15th year, she began to write for 
 the press, generally for annuals and 
 periodicals, contributing short poems 
 and tales for children. About 1820, 
 she produced her first work of any 
 pretension — a juvenile tale, which was 
 well received by the public and press. 
 In the following year she married Mr. 
 Moodie, a half pay officer from the 21st 
 Fusileers, and in 1832, emigrated with 
 
 her husband, to Gan. They bought a 
 farm near Port Hope, which, however, 
 they only held for a short time, remov- 
 ing to the back- woods 10 miles north of 
 Peterborough, where they settled. 
 Here they remained for a period of 8 
 years, experiencing all the trials, mis- 
 haps and troubles incident to early 
 settlers, and which are so graphically- 
 narrated and depicted by Mrs. M. in her 
 Roughing it in the Bush. In 1839, Mr. M. 
 was appointed Sheriff of Hastings, (an 
 office from which he retired a few 
 years since,) and, with his wife, took up 
 his residence at Belleville, where they 
 have since lived. During the exis- 
 tence of the Literary Garland, (Mont.,) 
 Mrs. M,, was the principal contributor 
 of fiction to its pages. For some years 
 she ed. the Victoria Magazine, (Belle- 
 ville). Her contributions to these and 
 other annuals, magazines and news- 
 papers would fill many volumes.

 " The principal part of the address is 
 occupied by a history of medicine, written 
 in the terse, forcible, epigrammatic style, for 
 which the author is so remarkable, but which 
 gives to the narrative a zest, which the 
 very dryness of the subject would otherwise 
 preclude. The most interesting portion of 
 the lecture is the concluding part, in which 
 some statistical information is afforded of the 
 early medical history of the country." —

 Inverness, ScoL He is the son of a 
 Scotch clergym. Coming to Can. at an 
 early age, he for some years, was en- 
 gaged in agricultural pureuits in U.C. 
 Subsequently, for a brief period, he ed. 
 the Dundas Warder, and, by the vigour of 
 his pen and his enterprise and force 
 of charactBr, raised that paper from a 
 comparatively obscure and insignifi- 
 cant position to one of considerable 
 standing and influence in the country. 
 His reputation as a public writer 
 extended, and he became ed. of the 
 Daily Leader (Tor.) For some time up to 
 1 859 he conducted, and for a short time, 
 was joint prop, of the Daily Colonist of 
 the same city. Aft3r Quebec became the 
 seat of government of Can., he under- 
 took the ed- control of the Daily Chroni- 
 cle, then the leading government organ 
 there. In 1861 he removed to London 
 U. C, where he had ed. charge of the 
 Daily Prototype. Subsequently he left 
 the Province ; and has since been for 
 
 284 MOU 
 
 some years connected with the N. Y. 
 daily newspaper press. As a public 
 writer and journ. Mr. M,. had very 
 few superiors in Can. To great skill, 
 and readiness was united the power of 
 a well stored mind, great literary capa- 
 city, and a thorough acquaintance 
 with the history, resources, and capabi- 
 lities of his adopted country. His 
 departure from Can. left a wide gap in 
 the ranks of Provincial journalists, 
 which it has been hard to fill.

 1 789. D. at Quebec, 6 Jany. 1 863. He 
 was the second son of the late Dr. 
 Jacob Mountain, the first Anglican 
 Bish. of Quebec. The family is of 
 French extraction. When only 4 years 
 of age accompanied his parents and 
 family to Quebec, on the appointment 
 of his father to the then newly created, 
 and, for many years afterwards, the 
 only See of the Gh. of Eng. in Can. 
 There he received the early portion of 
 his education. At 16 he proceeded to 
 Eng., where, until he entered Cam- 
 bridge he pursued his studies under a 
 private tutor. He graduated at Trinity 
 Coll. in 1810. Returning to Can. in 
 the following year, he studied for Holy 
 Orders under his father (whose secy, he 
 became :) was admitted to Deacons Or- 
 ders in 1 8 1 2 ; to the Priesthood in 1814; 
 and received the appointment of eve- 
 ning lecturer at the cathedral. From 
 1814 to 1817 he was Rector of Frede- 
 ricton, N. B., when he returned to 
 Quebec as rector of that parish, and 
 bishops official. In 1821. he became 
 archdeacon of L. C. In 1836 he was 
 consecrated Bish. of Montreal, as coad- 
 jutor to Bish. Stewart, who had suc- 
 ceeded his father in the See of Quebec. 
 Bishop S. shortly afterwards leaving

 for Eng., the charge of the entire dio- 
 cese (which has since heen divided 
 into G,) was under his care and direction 
 until 1839, when U. G. was made 
 a separate See. It was through his 
 earnest exertions and remonstrances 
 that Rupert's Land was also, in 1849, 
 erected into an Episcopal See. He con- 
 tinned to have the entire spiritual 
 charge of L. C, until 1850, when he 
 succeeded in having the diocese of 
 Montreal constituted, he retaining the 
 diocese of Quehec, hy far the poorer 
 and more laborious of the tw'O. No 
 one at this day can form any proper 
 idea, or realize the enormous labours, 
 the wide range and greatness of the 
 duties which fell to the lot of our early 
 spiritual rulers. Long before Bish. M. 
 was elevated to the Episcopal bench, he 
 performed long, tedious and oftentimes 
 dangerous journeys, into the interior 
 of what was then in most places almost 
 a wild and unsettled country, to minis- 
 ter to the religious wants of the children 
 of his Gh., and otherwise advance the 
 cause of Ghristianity. And these 
 journeys and expeditions were conti- 
 nued down to within a few years of 
 his death, — no undertaking appearing 
 to this intrepid man of God too hazar- 
 dous or dangerous. Whether it was 
 as an apostle to the Indians of the 
 North- West Territory, (in the days 
 when the bark canoe afforded to the 
 traveller the only mode of conveyance,) 
 or among the untutored people of 
 the Ottawa, in remote settlements in 
 the Eastern Townships and surround- 
 ing country, amidst the rude inha- 
 bitants of the Magdalen Islands, or 
 on the barren and inhospitable shore 
 of Lal)rador — wherever the peril was 
 greatest, and the labour to be per- 
 formed most arduous and exacting, 
 there wvis this great Ghristian hero 
 to be found doing the work of his 
 Master. On 4 or 5 occasions, he 
 crossed the Atlantic in the interest 
 of the Gh., at a time when ocean 
 navigation was not so safe and so rapid 
 as it has since become. Ghurches, 
 schoolhouses,and asylums sprang into 
 existence throughout his diocese 
 through his instrumentality and pros- 
 pered under his fatherly hand. The 
 Ghurch Soc. was founded by him. 
 But perhaps the greatest of his works, 
 
 in one way, was the establishment, in 
 1844, of the Univ. of Bishop's Goll., 
 Lennoxville, L. G., for the education 
 of clergymen for the Gh. of Eng. 
 Bishop M. was the first principal of, and 
 prof, of divinity in, the Univ. of McGill 
 Goll. ; he was also one of the first mem- 
 bers of the Royal Institution for the 
 Advancement of Learning in Gan., and 
 long discharged the duties pertaining 
 to those positions. In closing this brief 
 and imperfectly written sketch of 
 Bishop M's. life we cannot do better 
 than quote the w^ords of a writer in the 
 Quebec Mercury^ who said on the occa- 
 sion of his death, that he ''•was uni- 
 versally known as a learned theologian, 
 an elegant classical scholar, an able 
 writer, an eloquent and, in the best 
 sense, powerful preacher, and a most 
 polished gentleman." 
 
 In addition to the productions from 
 his pen which we give below, w^e may 
 state that many of his sermons, char- 
 ges, &c., have appeared in the Eng. 
 work entitled. The Churches in the Colo- 
 nics. 
 
 " None who have enjoyed the privilege of 
 knowing the Bishop personally will ever 
 forget his tall and slender form, reverend 
 with meek dignity ; his singular modesty 
 and courtesy of demeanor, the gentleness of 
 his voice, the kind considerateness of his 
 thoughts for others, his ready and unaffected 
 hospitahty, and the ripe scholarly tone that 
 was apparent in all that he said and all that 
 he wrote. Unselfishness was never more 
 strongly marked in any character, and those 
 
 who know his life-long labom-s in 
 
 short, his faithful and quiet devotion to duty 
 at all times — none who liave known all this 
 will ever cease to remember the departed 
 Bishop as one of the rarest examples of the 
 Christian, the scholar and the gentleman 
 united, as they always ought to be, in the 
 person of a Bishop." — Church Journal, (N. Y.)

 its passages descriptive of the fearful scenes

 " Towards the close of 1849, the Bishop, 
 who very rarely indeed took any part in 
 political aflFairs, felt it his duty to print, for 
 private circulation among members of the

 which he had originally drawn up in the 
 shape of a pastoral letter. The necessity, 
 however, for sending it forth in this form 
 had happily passed away, before it could be 
 issued, but he was anxious, as far as possible, 
 to exhibit the duty of Churchmen towards 
 the Church and Realm of England, to which 
 he was himself thoroughly and devotedly 
 attached, and to dissuade them from being 
 carried away by any passing excitement of 
 discontent." — Memoir of Bp. M.

 " There are few greater pleasures in these 
 days, than to get hold of a really good book — 
 a book not only thoroughly and conscien- 
 tiously well done from beginning to end, but 
 distinguished also by some peculiarity of 
 subject, opening a fresh field of interest, and 
 breaking a door for the reader into a realm 
 of outlying knowledge. Such pleasure we 
 have experienced in perusing the volume 
 before us, in reading this memoir of the 
 active, hard,.and energetic life, and struggles 
 to build up the Church of England in this 
 Province, of one who has now passed to his 
 reward — the very beau-ideal of a Christian 
 Bishop. The work is remarkable in another 
 sense — as giving us an excellent idea of what 
 Canada was half a century ago — what hard- 
 ships and difficulties its settlers, at that 
 comparatively recent period, had to contend 
 with, while building up their home in the 
 great primeval forests, and clearing the land, 
 now rich and fertile, and yielding abundant 
 crops, of the trees and bush which then 
 cumbered it. But what the volume beyond 
 anything else practically shows is, how God 
 has been pleased to bless and prosper this 
 portion of His Catholic Church since 1793, 
 when Dr. Mountain, the first Bishop of 
 Canada, and father of the subject of the 
 present memoir, was, at the instigation of 
 Mr. Pitt, consecrated and sent to Quebec to 
 take possession of his immense See. One 
 cannot help thinking, while perusing chapter 
 after chapter of the memoir, on the words 
 of the great missionary apostle, and how 
 appropriately they might be applied, though 
 doubtless in a very much restricted sense — 
 ' in much patience, in affiictions, in neces- 
 sities, in distresses;' ' in journeyings often, 
 in perils of waters, in perils in the wilder- 
 ness, in weariness and painfulness, in hunger 
 and thirst.' " — Transcript (Mont.)

 Post, (St. Catharines,) and merged the 
 former journal in it, under Ihe name

 this paper, and gave up his connection 
 with the newspaper press. Mr. M. was

 remarkable personages he had met. i 
 
 So highly have these letters been

 When about 14 years of age, his 
 family sent him to seek his fortune in 
 Can., placing him under the care of 
 his elder brother, Samuel N., who had 
 just then succeeded his uncle, Mr. W. 
 Brown, in the property and editorship 
 of the Gazette (Que..) which had been 
 first published by him and his partner, 
 Mr. Gilmour, on the 21st June, 1764. 
 Mr. S. N. died in 1793, and Mr. J. N. 
 being yet a minor, the publication of 
 the Gazette was conducted by the late 
 Rev. Dr. Sparks, his guardian, until 
 1796, when, Mr. N. coming of full age, 
 he assumed the direction of the paper, 
 and from that period it took a new 
 character of interest and importance. 
 ■In 1810, the increasing demand for 
 political intelligence and the impor- 
 tance of the public questions which 
 began to be discussed in the legisla- 
 ture, induced Mr. N. to enlarge the 
 size of the paper, and to publish it 
 twice a week, and, as had formerly 
 
 ! been the case, in both languages. 
 Under the managementof its judicious 
 
 ; ed., the Gazette acquired a perceptible 
 and increasing influence on public 
 opinion, by the ability and discretion 
 with which political subjects were dis- 
 cussed in it ; the personal influence of 
 its ed. naturally increased with that of 
 19 
 
 his journal ; his capacity for civil 
 affairs, attracted the attention of his 
 fellow citizens, and in 1818, he was 
 brought forward as a candidate and 
 elected to the provincial assem., as a 
 mem. for the Go. of Quebec ; he thus 
 entered upon a new and more import- 
 ant political career ; he was now in 
 the full vigor of his age and ripened 
 intellect, and, as might be expected 
 from his character, he soon took a 
 lead in the active business of the legis- 
 lature. At an early period after he 
 became a legislator, he turned his 
 attention to the measures necessary for 
 the promotion of two of the most impor- 
 tant and enduring interests of civil so- 
 ciety — education and agriculture ; and, 
 as an auxiliary to the latter, besought 
 to effect an improvement in the system 
 of granting the vs'aste lands, to encour- 
 age the survey and exploration of 
 unknown territory within the limits 
 of the province, and thus to assist the 
 development of the resources of the 
 country. He bore a leading part also 
 in the discussion of the grave questions 
 which, after 1818, occupied the public 
 mind, and led to differences between 
 the executive govt, and the Assem.. 
 as to the control and appropriation of 
 the public revenues — the accusations 
 brought against public functionaries — 
 the plurality of offices, and the alleged 
 abuses or evils in the administration of 
 govt., Mr. N's conduct was marked by 
 firmness and impartiality, and by that 
 spirit of justice which was part of 
 his individual character. But as the 
 Gazette was employed by govt, as the 
 vehicle of public notifications, and 
 might thus be represented as in some 
 sort its organ, Mr. N., in 1822, in order 
 to be free in his political capacity 
 from even the appearance of any such 
 connection, transferred the whole es- 
 tablishment to his son, Mr. S. N., 
 who, shortly afterwards, accepted a 
 commission from govt, as king's prin- 
 ter and ed., and for about a year that 
 paper bore the imprint, " by autho- 
 rity." But the commission having 
 
NEI 
 
 292 
 
 NEI 
 
 been revoked in 1823, the Gazette re- 
 sumed and thenceforth retained the 
 character of an independent paper, 
 which it had borne since its establish- 
 ment. The disputes between the exe- 
 cutive govt, and the Assem., on finan- 
 cial matters, had, in 1822, apparentlv 
 become so irreconcilable, that the Im- 
 perial Govt., pressed at the same time 
 by U. C. to interfere in a question of 
 finance pending between the 2 pro- 
 vinces, determined to propose to par- 
 liament to re-unite the provinces. The 
 intelligence of this measure created 
 general uneasiness among a large part 
 of the people of L. C and a strenuous 
 spirit of opposition to it being aroused, 
 it was determided by those adverse to 
 it to send delegates to Eng. with repre- 
 sentations against it. Mr. N. was 
 ■chosen as the delegate from the district 
 of Quebec, and Mr. Papineau, for that 
 of Montreal, and through their remon- 
 strances, supported by the influence of 
 Sir J. Macintosh in Parliament, or 
 rather by his \Nithdrawal of the assis- 
 tance which the govt, had understood 
 him to have promised,the measure was, 
 in 1823, abandoned for the present. 
 In 1828, the discussions between the 
 local govt, and the Assem. having be- 
 come more and more exasperated, a 
 petition of grievance was sent to Eng., 
 addressed to the Sovereign and Parlia- 
 ment, complaining of the administra- 
 tion of the govt., and bearing the names 
 of upwards of 80.000 inhabitants of the 
 province. Mr. N. was again chosen as 
 a delegate jointly with Mr. D. B. Yiger 
 and Mr. Cuvillier, to support the com- 
 plaints and demands of the petitionei-s 
 before the imperial authorities : and a 
 committee of inquiry having been ap- 
 pointed by the House of Commons, 
 Mr. N. and the other delegates were 
 examined, with many other witnesses ; 
 and a report was made favorable in 
 the main to the views of the petition- 
 ers. The testimony given by Mr. N., 
 with resjject to the Leg. Goun., gave 
 occasion subsequently to a charge 
 • against him of having recommended 
 that that body should be made elective : 
 but an unprejudiced perusal of his 
 •evidence, taken as a whole, will shew 
 that then, as at all times afterwai^s, 
 both in his ed. articles and in his place 
 in the Assem., he discountenanced all 
 
 suggestions of fundamental changes, 
 and maintained that the existing con- 
 stitution and frame of govt,, if proper- 
 ly administered, were sufficient ' for 
 the peace, welfare, and good govt, of 
 the province.' In like manner, both 
 before and after that celebrated inqui- 
 ry', Mr. N. always expressed his entire 
 confidence in the good intentions, libe- 
 rality and justice of the British Govt,, in 
 every thing that concerned the welfare 
 of the people of L. C. ; and the recom- 
 mendations of the report then made, 
 being carried into execution, in a spirit 
 of concession and conciliation by a new 
 gov. (Sir James Kempt), had the effect 
 of producing a greater degree of tran- 
 quillity, in the province. On the 29th 
 March,' 1830, Mr. N. received the thank- 
 of the House of Assem. for his ser- 
 vices on this mission to Eng. Nor 
 was this vote of thanks the only pubhc 
 mark of approbation which Mr. N.s 
 services to the people called forth. 
 In Jan., 1831, a silver vase, which cost 
 150 guineas, (raised by public subs- 
 cription) was presented to him at a 
 public dinner, given to him by a large 
 number of his fellow citizens, in testi- 
 mony of their gratitude for his services 
 in Eng. in 1823 and 1828. It was about 
 this period that a difierence of opinion 
 on points of political importance began 
 first to shew itself between Mr. N. and 
 the leaders of the party with whom he 
 had generally hitherto acted. His 
 career was in nothing more remark- 
 able than for his constant desire to 
 maintain the ancient institutions, 
 usages, and social arrangements of the 
 French Can. portion of the population ; 
 and he vigorously opposed the measure 
 called Le Bill des Fabriques^ in 1831. 
 which he considered as a needless and 
 mischievous encroachment on the laws 
 and customs by which the parochial 
 ch. corporations had hitherto been 
 governed, and, as tending to create 
 disorder and confusion, where tran- 
 quillity and contentment had gene- 
 rally prevailed before. The separation 
 thus made was widened still further 
 at the same period, and the political 
 quiet partially restored by the mea- 
 sures of administration in 1829 and 
 1830, was again disturbed by the agi- 
 tation of the question of an elective 
 Leg. Coun., by the imprisonment of 2 
 
NEI 
 
 293 
 
 NEI 
 
 publishers of newspapers for alleged 
 libels on that body, and, by the de- 
 plorable events 'at the Montreal elec- 
 tion, in 1832, when the ed. of one of 
 those papers was elected to the Assem. 
 When this unfortunate occurrence 
 was made the subject of investigation 
 before the committee of the Assem., 
 and the feelings of party and origin 
 were aroused into irritated action, Mr. 
 N. abstained from taking any part in 
 the proceedings, and his conduct on 
 that occasion was justly considered as 
 indicating his marked disapprobation 
 of the course pursued by his political 
 friends, who strove to cast the whole 
 odium of the occurrences in question 
 upon the civil and military authorities. 
 He looked with ill-boding and prophetic 
 eye on the measures of his party, as 
 mischievously intermeddling with 
 what ought to have been left to the 
 proper tribunals of justice ; and from 
 that period may be dated his entire 
 separation from that party. The con- 
 sequences of that separation to himself 
 personally were soon evident ; for, on 
 the occasion of the general election 
 of 1834, he was thrown out of the 
 representation of the Co. of Quebec, 
 for which he had sat for 15 years. 
 In the session of 1834, the celebrated 
 92 resolutions on the state of the coun- 
 try, (which a min. of the crown des- 
 cribed as a " paper revolution," but 
 which have now almost become a 
 reality,) were adopted, and were 
 brought before the Imperial Parha- 
 ment, in a petition, calling for organic 
 changes in the constitution, and the 
 general adoption of the elective prin- 
 ciple. Those who desired to maintain 
 the constitution of the country unim- 
 paired, formed themselves into " Con- 
 stitutional Associations," throughout 
 the province ; and sent home petitions 
 to the govt, and parliament in Eng. 
 True to his principle of seeking admi- 
 nistrative and opposing needless con- 
 stitutional changes, Mr. N. accepted the 
 appointment of a delegate from Quebec, 
 associated with Mr. W. Walker, an ad- 
 vocate, of Montreal, (whom see,) to 
 carry these petitions to Eng., and urge 
 the objects of them there. Upon this 
 third mission, Mr. N. proceeded to Eng. 
 in the spring of 1835, and communi- 
 cated with the new Colonial Secy., Lord 
 19 • 
 
 Glenelg ; but, in the month of July, the 
 Brit, cabinet determined to transfer the 
 furthur inquiry into these political dis- 
 tractions to the province itself, by re- 
 calling Lord Aylmer, and sending out 
 Lord Gosford, as gov.-in-chief, with a 
 commission also, jointly, with 2 others, 
 as com's. of inquiry. Mr. N., con- 
 sequently, returned immediately to 
 Can. In this year, the health of his son , 
 the ed. of the Gazette^ which had been 
 for some time failin^:, sank under the 
 labor of a daily publication, (a change 
 which had been adopted in 1832, 
 when the Gazette appeared alternately 
 in the two languages,) and he was 
 obliged to go to the south of Europe ; — 
 and, having died at N. Y., on his re- 
 turn to his family, his father, at the 
 age of 3 score, while suffering under 
 this afilicted bereavement, and the dis- 
 appointment of his hopes, resumed his 
 ed. labors, in order to maintain the old 
 estabhshment. Amongst the events 
 of 1837 and 1838, Mr. N. was found 
 true to those loyal principles, which he 
 had always inculcated — recommend- 
 ing order and obedience to the laws, 
 and respect to the constituted autho- 
 rities. Notwithstanding the deplora- 
 ble revolt of a portion of the popula- 
 tion, he still showed himself the firm 
 and constant friend of the French 
 Can's., and maintained that the mass 
 of the people were untainted by dis- 
 loyalty or disaffection. He was, in 
 truth, attached to them as a people — he 
 loved to talk of their primitive man- 
 ners and customs, their simple cha- 
 racter and habits, and the peculiar 
 changes and occurrences of their his- 
 tory ; for their clergy, too, he enter- 
 tained a high respect ; which respect 
 was returned by equal respect and 
 regard, on their part, which followed 
 him, it is believed, to the last mo- 
 ments of his life, and still attends his 
 memory. The Union of the Provinces, 
 which followed upon the events of 
 1837-8, was opposed by Mr. N., so long 
 as he conceived that opposition could 
 be of any avail ; — having been called 
 to the Special Coun. in 1839, after the 
 suspension of the constitution, he there 
 voted against the Union, being sup 
 ported only by 2 other members, and 
 in June, 1849, at a general meeting of 
 the inhabitants of Quebec, he prepared 
 
XEI 
 
 294 
 
 NEI 
 
 a series of resolutions, which were 
 embodied in a petition sent to Eng., 
 remonstrating against the measure. 
 When the Act of Union passed, Mr. N. 
 came forward, and was elected with- 
 out opposition, as mem. for his old 
 county in the united legisl. Mr. N.s 
 rooted desire to stand hy old institu- 
 tions, and even usages, again mani- 
 fested itself in his constant disapproba- 
 tion of what is called '' Responsible 
 Govt. ;" and, his opinion upon this in- 
 novation upon the old system of colo- 
 nial govt, are to be found thickly scat- 
 tered through his ed. articles in the 
 Gazette, from the adoption of the reso- 
 lutions upon this subject in the Assem., 
 in 1841. On the formation of a new 
 govt, in November, 1843, he was urged 
 to accept the honorable post of Speaker 
 of the Leg. Conn. ; but he declined it, 
 as he had uniformly declined every 
 office of emolument,'in fulfilment of a 
 public declaration he once made to his 
 ■ constituents, and it was not till the ses- 
 sion of 1844, that he consented, though 
 the otfer had before been frequently 
 made to him, to become a mem. of that 
 branch of the legisl. He was now ver- 
 ging to the appointed period of 3 score 
 years and 10, and his constitution bet- 
 rayed the inroads of age. He had al- 
 ready seen many contemporaries go 
 before him to the grave, with whom 
 he had been connected in the relations 
 of sincere friendship, or in those of 
 political life; but he still continued to 
 take that active part which he consi- 
 dered to be his duty, as a mem. of so- , 
 ciety, in all public measures, either ' 
 within the legisl. or without, which ; 
 appeared to him conducive to the pu- j 
 blic weal ; on such occasions, he | 
 shrunk not from meeting or co-opera- 1 
 ting with those who might be of an j 
 adverse political party, and the respect I 
 with which his suggestions were re- ! 
 ceived in the public assembhes of his ! 
 fellow citizens, shewed the weight j 
 attached to his opinions, and the con- , 
 fide nee reposed in his ripened judg- ! 
 ment and long experience in public i 
 affairs. It was at last in discharging a I 
 voluntary duty that he had taken upon 
 himself, by attending with his bre- 
 thren of St. Andrew's Soc. to receive 
 the representative of hi§ sovereign 
 with due honor on his visit to Quebec, 
 
 in Oct, 1847, that Mr. N. brought on 
 himself the malady which proved ulti- 
 mately fatal to him ; he was on that 
 occasion exposed for a considerable 
 time to a chilling rain, but persisted 
 in remaining to read the address of his 
 fellow citizens, to His Excellency, on 
 his first arrival in the ancient capital 
 of Can. He was shortly after taken ill, 
 and never fully shook off the disease : 
 but in spite of increasing weaknes- 
 his spirit failed him not, nor his ha 
 bits of application to business ; so that 
 neither his family nor his medical at- 
 tendants perceived the full extent of 
 his danger, and it may be said that he 
 " died in harness," for the very eve- 
 ning before his death, he wrote'off for 
 the next issue of the Gazette, and with 
 a steady hand, and almost withoii: 
 obliteration, the 2 remarkable article- 
 his last impressive words to his fellow 
 citizens, which appeared in the Gazette 
 - ofi^st Jan., 1848; the following day 
 ■* he was no more. As a public journ. 
 his labors, spread over 3U volumes of 
 the Gazette, attest his industry, abihty, 
 firmness and moderation, in delivering 
 to the public the opinions upon the va- 
 rious subjects of political discussion 
 which occupied the public attention 
 oftentimes during periods of great 
 difficulty and agitation. In his style 
 of writing he was a model for journa- 
 lists — ^plain, simple, concise, terse and 
 idiomatically Eng. When the occasion 
 required, as may be seen in some of 
 his communications to the Gazette. 
 then conducted by his son, in the sum 
 mer of 1832, after the fatal occurrences 
 at the Montreal election, he threw 
 into his compositions a degree of elo- 
 quence and force seldom surpassed in 
 any public journal. His forte lay in 
 compressing into a small compass of 
 well arranged thoughts and well cho- 
 sen words, what ordinary writers 
 would spread over columns with aftux 
 de paroles. To his earnest pursuit, as 
 a legislator, of what seemed to him to 
 be for the public good, ample testi- 
 mony is afforded by the statute book 
 of the province, and the journals of 
 the legislative bodies to which he 
 belonged.—

 1863. He was ed. for the Medical 
 profession. In 1811, he received his 
 degree ; and settled at St. Denis, 
 L. C, where he practised for some 
 years. In 1827, he was returned as a 
 mem. to the Assem., L. C, and thence- 
 forward occupied a prominent posi- 
 
 . tion in politics. In the Rebellion of 
 1837 he took up arms as a leader of 
 the insurgents, and won the victory of 
 St. Denis. Soon after that event, how- 
 ever, he was captured and sent into 
 exile. On his release he recommenced 
 I he practice of his profession in the 
 U. S., and as soon as the amnesty per- 
 mitted returned to his native country. 
 In 1844 he was elected to the Can. Par- 
 liament, in which he sat until 1851. In 
 that year he was appointed an Inspec- 
 tor of Prisons, and in 1859, Chairman 
 of the new Board of Inspectors of Pri- 
 sons, Asylums, &c., which he held up 
 to his death. He held various other 
 offices of honour and emolument, and 
 was twice elected President of the 
 Coll. of Phys. and Surg., L. C. His 
 reports on the Penitentiary, Prisons, 
 and Public Health, contain many 
 
 valuable suggestions towards the im- 
 provement of our prison discipline 
 in the care of convicts, and the pre- 
 servation of public hygiene, many of 
 which were adopted by the Govt.

 is chiefly as a popular orator that he 
 will be best remembered.

 the rebellion of 1836-7. Was, from 
 1817, for 20 years. Speaker of the Leg. 
 Assem. In 1820 he was elevated to a 
 seat in the Ex. Council. In 1822 he, 
 in conjunction with the late Mr. Neil-

 and the withdrawal of the obnoxious

 Rebellion of 1837 ; after its failure he 
 fled to the U. S. and thence, in 1839, to 
 France, where he resided for 8 years. 
 On his return to Can. he was again 
 returned to Parliament, but exercised 
 little or no influence over parties, and, 
 in 1854, retired altogether from public 
 life.

 Parent, Etienne. A French. Can. journ. 
 B. at Bsauport, near Quebec, 2 May, 
 1801. Received his education at the 
 Seminary of that city, and at the Coll. 
 of Nicolet, at both of which he dis- 
 tinguished himself in Classics, Political 
 Economy, and Belles Lettres. On com- 
 pleting his studies he retired to his 
 father's farm, on which he had been 
 born, to assist his parent in the arduous 
 duties of his calling. The clear and 
 able reputation which he had left be- 
 hind him at Coll., combined with the 
 talents for literary composition and 
 polemical discussion which he had 
 early evinced, and since cultivated 
 and improved, had secured strong and 
 influential friends in his favour, who 
 were anxious that his talents should 
 not be lost to the province and to his 
 countrymen. Accordingly in his 21st 
 year w^e find him installed as chief Ed. 
 of Le Canadien, the oldest French new^s- 
 paper in the Brit. Provinces, a position 
 which he ably filled until 1825, when 
 the publication of the paper was 
 suspended. In that year he entered 
 upon the study of the law, and 
 after having undergone the usual 
 clerkship, and passed his final exam- 
 ination, was admitted a mem. of 
 the Bar. He did not practice for any 
 length of time, having shortly after 
 his admission accepted the appt. of 
 French translator and Law Clk. to the 
 Assem. of L. C. ; he also for a short 
 time filled the office of Librarian to 
 that body. On the abolition of the 
 old constitution of L. C, his employ- 
 ment by the Assem. of that Province 
 necessarily ceased, and he devoted 
 himself entirely to the conduct of Le 
 Canadien, the publication of which he 
 resumed in 1831 and continued up to 
 1842. During the troublous times of 
 183G-37. he took sides with the ma- 
 jority of his countrymen, and suffered 
 imprisonment in the Quebec Jail, for a 
 too bold and injudicious expression 
 of his political opinions. At the Union 
 of the Provinces he was returned to 
 Parliament, where he sat for some 
 years, but resigned to accept office! 
 under the Crown. When Responsible 
 Govt, was conceded, he received the 
 appt. of Clk. to the Ex. Council, and, in 
 1847, was transferred to the office of j 
 Assist. Sec v. for L. C. In 18G7 he recei- '

 ved his present office of Acting Asst. 
 Secy, of State for Can. Since 1847 he 
 has occasionally acted as ed. of his old 
 newspaper, and contributed to other 
 journals. He is now the Nestor of the 
 French Can. press. Mr. P. writes with 
 ^ great ease and ability — he possesses 
 great reasoning and argumentative 
 powers, and with these are united a 
 force and energy of expression which 
 few of our public writers have pos- 
 sessed. In his hands Le Canadien became 
 a powerful organ of public opinion, 
 and it was owing to his long and un- 
 wearied exertions in connection with 
 it, and the determined stand which it 
 took that many of the reforms which 
 have been since effected in our political 
 system were granted. We may add 
 that Mr. P. was the originator of French

 " When Mr. Rameau was in Quebec, I 
 took occasion to ask him what he thought of 
 our best writers. ' Sir,' said he, ' I will 
 relate to you what occurred to me in Paris 
 last winter. I was acquainted with Canadian 
 literature before I came here, and in order 
 to test the correctness of my own opinion, I 
 assembled some literary friends and told 
 them that I intended reading them a chapter 
 out of two new books which they had never 
 seen before ; they assented ; this done, and 
 replacing the books in my book case, I' 
 requested them to tell me candidly where 
 they could have been written. * Why in 
 Paris, where else,' they replied ; ' none but 
 Parisians could write such French.' Well, 
 gentlemen, said I, you are much mistaken, 
 these books were written on the banks of 
 the St. Lawrence, at Quebec, Etienne Parent 
 and Abbe Ferland are the authors. My 
 friends could scarcely be convinced of the 
 fact.' I take pleasure in recording this, as 
 both the works alluded to are republished 
 in the New- Year Volume, presented to 
 subscribers, by the publishers of the Foyer 
 Canadien, and because such a circumstance 
 does honor to the country. I take particular 
 pleasure in noticing this honorable fact, 
 because it also effectually bears on a stupid 
 assertion not altogether uncommon, viz : 
 That French Canadians speak nothing but 
 patois — whereas, if the whole truth were 
 known, it would appear that our peasantry 
 talk better French, than does one- half of the 
 rural population of France ; in fact, it is not 
 rare to find the French peasantry of one 
 Department, scarcely able to understand 
 the idiom of the corresponding class in 
 another Department." — J. M. Lemoine:

 Patterson, Rev. George. A N. S. author. 
 Pastor of the Presb. Ch. Greenhill, 
 Pictou, N. S. B. at Pictou, 30 Apl., 
 1824. Ed. at the Academv there and 
 at Dalhousie Coll. (Hal.) Was an 
 early contributor to the press. In 
 1843, when only 19 years of age, 
 became ed. of the Eastern Chronicle 
 (Pictou.) a respectable country journal, 
 which iie founded in the place of 2 
 
 other papers which had previously 
 existed there. In 1846, he terminated 
 his connection with journalism, for a 
 time, and proceeded to Brit, to prose- 
 cute his Theological studies for the 
 Presb. Ch. On his return, in 1849, he 
 was ordained pastor of Greenhill, 
 where he has since remained. From* 
 1850 to 1 856, was ed. of a small monthly 
 sheet, the Missionary Register of the Presb. 
 Ch. inN.S., which in the last mentioned 
 year became enlarged to a magazine 
 of 48 pages and assumed the name of 
 the Christian Instructor and Missionary 
 Register of the Presb. Ch. of N. S., Mr. P. 
 continuing to occupy the ed. chair, the 
 duties of which he discharged with 
 ability for the next 5 years. While 
 holding this position he wrote a large 
 number of essays and articles, biogra- 
 phical and historical, and particularly 
 devoted himself to tracing out the his- 
 tories of the early ministers of the 
 Lower Provinces. In 1860, the Presb. 
 Ch. and the Free Ch. of N. S. were 
 united, and the Instructor ceased at the 
 end of that year ; a new periodical, 
 however, was established called the 
 Missionary Record of the Presb. Ch. of 
 the Lower Provinces^ and Mr. P. was 
 appointed ed. of it, cojointly with the 
 Rev. R. Murray (Hal.) He" still con- 
 tinues to hold that position. Mr. P. 
 in addition to his ed. duties has found 
 time to contribute frequently to other 
 periodicals and journals. He is a very 
 graceful and instructive writer, pos- 
 sessing a ripe experience and cultivated 
 taste, which manifest themselves in all 
 his productions. The services which 
 he has rendered to the Presb. Ch. in 
 his ed. and literary labours are incal- 
 culable.

 " The authorship and the author clahn a 
 passing notice. The author is the eldest 
 grandson of Dr. McGregor, and as for many 
 reasons, so for engaging in such a work, he 
 deserves to be hailed as ' A worthy son of a 
 worthy sire.' Filial veneration and love cou- 
 pled with a natural desire to preserve the 
 memory of svich a life as his grandfather's, 
 has promjited him to undertake a work for 
 which the churches in Amei-ica and Britain 
 will thank him, and for which they will as 
 they ought to hold themselves his debtors. 
 He has done for Dr. McGregor what McCrie 
 has done for Eaiox, what Fraser has done for 
 the Erskine's, what Hanna has done for Chal- 
 mers, and McGill for Dr. Heugh. 
 
 " A Presbyterian minister of a country 
 congregation of any extent in these colonies, 
 has barely time for his congregational duties. 
 He has not time at all, if he were to devote 
 that attention to the literature of liis pro- 
 fession to which it is entitled ; otherwise he 
 must be a slave, and would soon wear out in 
 mind and body and be laid down in an early 
 grave. To write a volume such as this would 
 be a task to any man, no matter how favour- 
 ably situated and well qualified by general 
 literary culture and habits. For Mr. Pat- 
 terson to write such a work, and do his 
 other work as he does it, can only be 
 accounted for on the principle embodied in 
 the Italian adage con amove, only because he 
 felt it to be emphatically a work and labour 
 of love. * * * Of the varied 
 
 merits and demerits of the work as a literary 
 production, it is not necessary to Write almost 
 any thing. The subject of the work is its 
 recommendation. The theme is the eulogy. 
 Still there are not a few excellencies distin- 
 guishing the volume which may be simply 
 mentioned. As in similar works of standard 
 merit, the author makes his subject to a very 
 great extent tell his own story. It is Dr. 
 McGregor rather than his biographer with 
 whom the reader has mostly to do. And then 
 there is an utter absence of every thing like 
 ostentation, or a straining after effect. The 
 author leaves his story to exert its own influ- 
 ence, be it powerful or puny on the mind of 
 its readers, and as a result of this mode of 
 treatment, when proceeding on with the 
 narrative the author is for the time being 
 forgotten, and the only anxiety is to get from 
 chapter to chapter, till the last page is 
 perused and a tear suffered to fall on the 
 honoured grave where lies the precious dust 
 of the faithful servant, in the sure and cer- 
 tain hope of a blessed resurrection. * * 
 
 " As it is, the woi-k is creditable all round — 
 creditable to the memory of a good and a 
 great man ; creditable to the author, both 
 as a commanding example of filial piety and 
 an abiding addition to our colonial literature ; 
 creditable to the church which had such a 
 name prominent among her fathers, and 
 such a writer among her sons. And it will 
 
 be to the further credit of the cliildren of 
 our people, if they put this work on the 
 shelves of their libraries and write its con- 
 tents on the fleshly tables of their hearts." —

 " It is not often the case that we feel such 
 an interest in reading works of a biographi- 
 cal nature as we have felt in the perusal of 
 this work. True it presents before us the cha- 
 racter of those who were not distinguished 
 by any very shining talents, and in their 
 lives we see but few very thrilling incidents ; 
 yet there is something j^ervading the whole 
 book which we can hardly describe, but 
 which we think will make it peculiarly 
 attractive to the heart of every true child 
 of God. Open it in what part we may we 
 feel that we are holding converse with one 
 whose heart was warm with love to the 
 Saviour, and we read but a few lines before 
 we become sensible of corresponding emo- 
 tions. 
 
 " Mr. Patterson has done a good work in 
 presenting these biographies to the church. 
 They will prove memorials honoring to the 
 names of three departed servants of Christ, 
 and creditable to the Presbyterian church of 
 Nova Scotia. 
 
 " The work is also interesting on account 
 of the information it imparts relative to the 
 New Hebrides, and the work of those 
 missionaires there. 
 
 " The author has exhibited good taste in 
 the selection of his materials and we sincerely 
 hope that his labours will be duly appre- 
 ciated by the christian public."

 " This growth of a colony in less than 
 three centuries is illustrated and supported 
 in the present volume by copious details, 
 extracted from official records preserved in 
 the archives of the Island. The work derives 
 from them an authentic character which 
 enhances its value. It is a faithful and inte- 
 resting picture of the exertions by which 
 some peculiar gifts of nature, under an unpro- . 
 raising aspect, amidst artificial difficulties, I 
 and occasionally impaired by accidental dis- 1 
 asters, have been steadily improved to the 
 advantage alike of those who enjoy and of 
 those who provide them. It is an encou- J 
 raging lesson for the British public to perse- 1 
 vere in supporting that line of colonial policy 
 which, while it difinses civilisation, perpe 
 tuates its blessings by the security of a 
 well-regulated freedom and well-adjusted

 Peltier, Orphir. A French Can. poet 
 and writer. B. 7 Sept., 1825. D. at 
 Montreal, 1852. Ed. at the Coll. (Mont.) 
 At the age of 22 was called to the Bar. 
 Previous to this, however, he had 
 studied music and eventually became 
 organist of St. Patrick's Ch. He con- 
 tributed various literary essays and 
 poetical effusions to the French Can. 
 press. He composed a piece of sacred 
 music, Salutaris Hostia^ which was 
 published in the Album Musical de la 
 Minerve. At a tender age he had to 
 submit to a dangerous surgical opera- 
 tion which, left an incurable infirmity 
 of which he eventually died. Some of 
 his poetical pieces are to be found in 
 the Rep. Nat., and one, Travail et Paressc, 
 in La Litterature Can. (Que.) 1864. 
 
 " Un autre jeune poete, M. Orphier Peltier, 
 est mort presqu'au sortir de ses etudes 
 classiques. Quoique la piece de vers que 
 nous donnons de lui soit loin d'etre parfaite, 
 elle revele cependant un talent poetique que 
 Page et I'etude n'auraient pu que deve- 
 lopper." — Lift. Can. 
 
 Penny, Edward Goff. A Can. journ. 
 B. in Eng. Came to Can. in 1844, and 
 immediately joined the staff of the 
 Herald (Mont.) as reporter. He proved so 
 able and efficient in that position that in 
 a few years he was promoted to the posi- 
 tion of joint ed., the late Mr. Kinnear 
 being chief ed., and was admitted into 
 the proprietorship of the paper. On 
 the death of Mr. K. he succeeded him 
 as chief ed. and prop, of the Herakl., 
 and as such still continues. Mr. P. is 
 considered to be a clear and painstaking 
 writer — and is undoubtedly the ablest 
 journ. connected with the Rouge, or 
 Liberal, press in Can.

 province. In 1828 was admitted as an 
 Atty. of the Supreme Court, and was 
 called to the Bar in 1830. For several 
 years was largely engaged in the mill- 
 ing and lumbering trade, was the 
 means of introducing much capital 
 into N. B., and of bringing promi- 
 nently before Eng. and the U. S., the 
 natural capabilities and resources of 
 the province. For some time prior 
 to the consideration of the Reciprocity 
 Treaty of 1854, laboured with Hon. 
 Daniel Webster and other eminent 
 Am. and Can.pubUc men, in collecting 
 and compiling trade and other statistics 
 of the B. A. colonies and the U. S., and 
 in completing those measures which 
 ultimately tended to the adoption of 
 the treaty. So highly were his ser- 
 vices on this occasion regarded, and so 
 much were his talents and abilities 
 appreciated by Lord Elgin, the then 
 Gov. Genl., who negotiated the Treaty, 
 and the Imperial Govt., that he was 
 immediately appointed Com. under its 
 1st and 2nd Articles to carry out the 
 terms of the Treaty, an office which 
 he held up to the period of his decease. 
 Previous to holding that office, he had

 '' We can speak ourselves, from general 
 knowledge, of Mr. Perley's great zeal, energy, 
 and enterprise on behalf of the Colony, of 
 which he is a distinguished member, for 
 during his short sojourn (just ended) in this 
 country, to which he was oflBcially deputed, 
 no man lal>ored harder to bring prominently 
 forward the importance, the value, and the 
 resources of the Province. In public and 
 private, in the city and at the Colonial Office 
 and West End. his object was to inform, 
 suggest, and enlighten, and he had the satis- ; 
 faction, after labouring most assiduously, of ' 
 accomphshing the ends he had in view, by j 
 bringing to maturity several important under- i 
 takings, full and complete arrangements of i 
 which he took back with him." — Sim. Cbl. ;

 " Mr. Proctor is a disciple of Tennyson, 
 and the tone and style of the master is almost 
 everywhere apparent in this volume. A 
 large — we had almost said too large a — part 
 of the book is given up to lamentation over 
 the loss of loved ones. There is scarce a 
 merrj" note in the whole of it. One seem.** 
 almost to hear a plaining voice even in its 
 most nearly blythe strains, and in parts 
 vent is given to the wildest anguish, the 
 maddest despair. • • • 
 
 *• Mr. Proctor has great command of good 
 English, a man-ellous skill in versification — 
 nor lacks he a goodly portion of that gift 
 which must be bom with the jwet. which 
 can be brought out by no toil. Almost everj- 
 where the verses are more than verse — they 
 are vivified with the soul of poetrj'. and when 
 he casts off the dark shadow which tinges so 
 much of liis song and comes out into the 
 healthful light of the working day he sings 
 cheerily enough. Witness his ' Warnings, "

 and visited various countries. In 1779, 
 whilst in command of a vessel, bound 
 for N. Y., his ship was captured by an 
 Eng. frigate, and he, with the crew, 
 were taken prisoners and conveyed to 
 Halifax. " After his release he proceeded 
 to Can., where he determined to 
 settle. He married at Montreal, and 
 after a voyage made to explore the 
 valley of the Mississippi, eventually 
 fixed his residence at Boucherville, L. 
 C. He was the author of a number 
 of fugitive x>oems in his native lan-

 Rambau, Alfred Xayier. A French Can. 
 journ. B. at Chalain d'Usore, near 
 
 • Montbrison, Department of Loire, 
 France. 22 Febv., 1810. D. at Montreal, 
 30 Oct. ^1856. " Studied at the Coll. of 
 Clermont, in Auvergne, where he 
 greatly distinguished himself. On 
 leaving that institution his parents 
 sent him to Italy to complete his edu- 
 
 ■ cation, whence, on his return, impel- 
 led by the longing desire of most 
 youths of an ardent temperament for 
 travel and adventure, he sailed for Am. 
 For some years he ed. a Franco-Am. 
 journal in N. Y. In 1832 good French 
 writers were in demand in Can., 
 and a request having been made to 
 the prop, of Mr. R's. paper by a leading 
 Can. politician of the day, (Mr. Ue- 
 bartzch,) to obtain an ed. for a paper 
 which he owned, led to Mr. R. taking 
 up his residence in the Province. In 
 addition to an honorable ambition to 
 achieve some distinction as a writer 
 for the press, Mr. R. was impelled to 
 cast in his fortunes with Can, from the 
 great intei'est which he felt in the his- 
 tory and the general affairs of a Colony 
 which had formerly belonged to 
 France, and whose people were largely 
 composed of descendants of his own 
 countrymen and compatriots. He re- 
 garded Can. in the light of a second 
 Fatherland. We do not know the 
 name of the paper upon which he was 
 engaged on his arrival in Can., but in 
 1837-8 he ed. UAmi du Peupk. (Mont.) 
 On this journal he displayed distin- 
 guished talent as a writer, and soon 
 won the confidence and approbation of 
 the party he served. His style was pure 
 and classic, possessing the power of 
 conveying truth and instruction in 
 simple and unpretending language. 
 In discussing the momentous affairs 
 and topics of that eventful period, he 
 evinced great boldness and fii'mness 
 in his utterances. Shortly after his 
 marriage, Mr. R., we believe, entered 
 on the study gf the law, and was 
 admitted to practise as an Advocate. 
 Whether he followed his profession, or 
 whether up to 1854 he continued to 
 ed. any newspaper, or contribute to 
 the press in any way, it is not in our 
 power to state. From that year, how- 
 ever, up to the time immediately pre- 
 ceding his death, he was one of the 
 
 ed's. of La Patrie (Mont.,) in which 
 position he manifested all his accus- 
 tomed ability and those noble and ele- 
 vated views which always characteri- 
 zed his writings, and which have left 
 him so honourable and so enviable a 
 reputation as a French Can. journ.

 " Gifted with an ardent imagination, a 
 brilliant intellect, Rambau was one of the 
 literary glories of Canada. If he had lived 
 in France his name would be figuring, per- 
 haps, today, in the gallery of illustrious 
 contemporaries. « « • * * 
 
 '' A flowing pen, a caustic humour ; obsti- 
 nacy in controversies, rendered him a preci- 
 ous friend and a formidable enemy. His 
 relations were legitimatists. From his infan- 
 cy he had been taught the motto ' Dieu et 
 mon roi. ' He remained faithful to it to the 
 end of his existence. Alfred Rambau ranked 
 liimself, then, from the first in the Conserva- 
 tive body. He became its standard-bearer.

 " In private life he was generous, kindly — 
 a charming narrator ; as a public man, he 
 handled the French tongue with grace. His 
 style clear and neat pleased his readers. 
 The erudite found there historical allusions 
 evincing solid information ; the little enligh- 
 tened habitant liked his way of telling things 
 without pretension, but with extraordinarj- 
 precision ; which did not prevent him from 
 sprinkling his compositions with light touches, 
 pleasing and piquant according to circums- 
 tances. 
 
 " We can affirm that Alfred Rambau 
 conduced in a very great degree to encourage 
 here the taste for sterling French literature. 
 If his attacks were occasionally biting, he 
 knew how to increase the spirit by the soft- 
 ness of his relations. He has contended 
 with energy in defence of his flag ; he has 
 marked his career on the press by remarkable 
 works ; he died in the midst of them. May 
 the sod lie light upon him ; and may this 
 tribute, paid to his memory be an alleviation 
 to the unfortunate family and the friends 
 who have lost him." — La Patrie.

 Richardson, Major John. A Can. novelist 
 and journ. B. near Niagara Falls, 
 U. C., 1797. D. in the U. S. some 
 years since. Was the son of the late 
 Dr. Robert Richardson, of the Can. 
 Indian Department. His youth was 
 passed at Amherstburg, U. C, where 
 he received his education. At the 
 commencement of hostilities between 
 Gt. Biit. and the U. S., in 1812, he 
 volunteered into the 41st Regt., then 
 serving in Can., and was present, we 
 believe, at many of the engagements. 
 
 which he afterwards described in his 
 History fif the War. Being taken pri- 
 soner by the enemy he was carried into 
 the U. S., where he remained until 
 exchanged. During the war he re- 
 ceived his commission as an ensign in 
 the 4 1st, afterwards served in the West 
 Indies and in various parts of the Em- 
 pire, and it was while so employed that 
 he wrote the well-known novel of 
 ^yaconsta, many of whose scenes are 
 laid in and around his early Western 
 home in Amhei'stbnrg. In 1835, he 
 joined the Brit. Legion in Spain, under 
 Sir DeLacy Evans, concerning the ope- 
 rations of which he has given us a 
 narrative. For his services in Spain he. 
 received the order of St. Ferdinand. He 
 had retired upon half pay from the 92nd 
 Highlanders, to which gallant corps he 
 had latterly belonged, and in Feby., 
 1838, returned to his native country, 
 as the Special Correspondent of the 
 London Times, In that rapacity he 
 strongly defended the public adminis- 
 tration of the late Earl of Durham (to 
 whose confidence he was admitted ;) his 
 views, however, being opposite to those 
 held by the journal in question, he after 
 some lime, was relieved of his situa- 
 tion, by the proprietors of the Times. 
 The remainder of his career seems to 
 have been be set with troubles and diffi- 
 culties. In 1840, he established the iVcio 
 Era, or Canadian Chronicle ( Brock ville,) 
 a weekly journal, more literary than 
 political, which only existed for 2 
 years. In that paper appeared his Jack 
 Brag in Spain, a novel of whose merits 
 the late Theodore Rook spoke highly, 
 but which we beUeve, has never been 
 published in book-form. Major R. had 
 strong claims on the then Gan. Govt., 
 and urged his appt. to some suitable po- 
 sition, which was never given to him. 
 Feeling strongly the injustice done 
 him, he established, in 18i3,atthethen 
 seat of Government, Kingston, auotlier 
 journal, called The Native Canadian and 
 Spirit of 1812, which he devoted mainly 
 to the discussion of politics ; iie was a 
 keen Conservative and strongly hostile 
 to the administration then in power. In

 I. Wacoiista ; or the Prophecy: an

 " The merit of this novel consists in the 
 spirit of its historical pictures, Avhich possess 
 at least the consistency of truth. The writer 
 displaj^s no ordinary share of graphic power, 
 and he has the rare talent of rendering a 
 fearful battle in music. His descriptions 
 of scenery are well executed, but unfortu- 
 nately they are rare.'" — Athen. (Lon.) 
 
 '' The persual of this novel has afforded 
 us more satisfaction than anything of the 
 kind which has ftdlen within the i-ange of 
 our reading for many a long day. Perhaps 
 we may have met with volumes containing a 
 deeper seated interest, but rarely any that 
 have united so much simplicity with elo- 
 quence of style. It will require but slender 
 thought to perceive, by the enthusiastic ardor 
 of the pen, that the author has been bred to a 
 military life, and that he is a man of very 
 superior acquirements, and possessed of 
 intellect and taste that must render him an 
 ornament in the tented field as well as the 
 field of literature." — Satirist, (do.)

 the narrative is authenticated by the official

 In 1760 Rogers received oixlers from Sir 
 Jeffrey Amherst to take possession of Detroit 
 and other \vestei"n posts ceded by the French 
 after the fall of Quebec. He ascended the 
 St. Lawrence and the lakes with two hun- 
 dred of liis rangers, visited Fort Pitt, had 
 an interview with the Indian chief. Pontiac, 
 at the site of the present Cleveland on Lake 
 Erie ; received the submission of Detroit, 
 but was prevented from proceeding further 
 by the approach of writer. He afterwards 
 visited England, where he suffered from 
 want until he borrowed the means to print 
 his Journal and present it to the King, when 
 he received the appointment of Governor of 
 Michilimackinac in 1765. He returned and 
 entered upon his command, but was after- 
 wards, on an accusation of a plot to deliver 
 up his post to the Spaniards, then the pos- 
 sessors of Louisiana, sent to Montreal in 
 irons. In 1769 he revisited England, was 
 presented to the king and imprisoned for 
 debt. He afterwards, according to his 
 account of himself to Dr. Wheelock at 
 Dartmouth, ' fought two battles in Algiers

 Emigrated to Can. in 1805, and for

 Glengarry, U. C. In 1810, joined Mr. 
 Astor, in his celebrated expedition to 
 Oregon. The expedition, after a long 
 voyage round Cape Horn, safely 
 reached the mouth of the Columbia 
 river ; and the Fur business was en- 
 tered upon in a region, where pre- 
 viously there had not been a single 
 white or civilized being. The whole 
 western slope of the Rocky Mountains 
 was wild as in the days of Cortez ; pri- 
 meval solitude reigned, save where the 
 tramp of the red man or the roar of 
 the wild beast was heard. Naturally 
 adventurous and daring, Ross soon 
 rose in the field of operations. The 
 war of 1812-14 disturbed the enterprize, 
 but he continued a fur-trader until 
 1824, part of the time in the service of 
 the Hudson's Bay Co. In the follow- 
 ing year, on retiring from the active 
 service of the Co., he received a grant 
 of several hundred acres of land in the 
 immediate vicinity of Fort Garry, the 
 capital of the country, upon which he 
 settled. He was appointed a mem. of 
 Council for the district, became Sheriff 
 of Red River settlement and Gov. 
 of the Gaol, holding these positions 
 for a quarter of a century. He was an 
 honorarv mem. of the Minnesota Hist.

 " One of the most striking pictures of a 
 life of .adventure which we have read for a 
 long time ; and as full of instruction as of 
 amusement : few will lay it down who have 
 once taken it up, till the closing page is 
 reached. To the lovers of Wild Adventure 
 and perils by flood and field, we know of few 
 books likely to i^rove more welcome than 
 this work of Mr. Ross. It also possesses an 
 interest of another kind for the historical 
 reader and politician." — Athen. (Lon.) 
 
 " Mr. Ross has lived for forty years among 
 the fur-tradei-s. and consequently is enabled 
 to present to us a very correct description of 
 the country they traverse, the animals they 
 hunt, and of the natives and their habits o'f 
 life ; and a very curious and interesting 
 picture it is. Mr. Ross has added conside- 
 rably to our knowledge of the Oregon terri- 
 torj'and its famous river ; and we are enabled 
 to form a fairer estimate of Mr. Astor's 
 daring scheme and the causes of its failure, 
 than any that is afforded by anj'^ publication 
 that has appeared." — Oritic. (Do.)

 a missionary to N. S., whither he pro- 
 ceeded in the following summer. Soon 
 after, settled at West River, Pictou, 
 where he remained as pastor until 
 his deatli. In addition to his theolo- 
 gical and controversial productions 
 given below, wrote largely for the 
 newspaper press of N. S., principally 
 for the Colonial Patriot and the Acadian 
 Recorder, (Hal.) To the latter in 
 1826-27 he contributed a series of va- 
 luable letters en titled the '' Rusy Rody" 
 under the nom de plume of " Solomon 
 Wisewood" in which he discussed a 
 variety of matters connected with the 
 advancement of the Province. Some 
 of these letters are light and amusing, 
 laying bare the prevailing social follies 
 of the day ; among them are several 
 on Temperance, to promote which he 
 labored earnestly and was the first to

 been one of the Asst. French transla- 
 toi-s to the Leg. Assem., Can. Mr. R. 
 has probablydone more than any other 
 of his countrymen towards further- 
 ing the cause of French Can. Litera- 
 ture. Without mentioning the time and 
 means he has devoted to the encourage- 
 ment of commendable literary exertion 
 and enterprise, we may state that by the 
 . action of his own pen he has contri- 
 buted in no common degree towards the 
 establishment of Lettei-s in L.C. In 1857 
 he rendered no inconsiderable service 
 to his young countrymen in Montreal, 
 by aiding in the formation of the Cerclc 
 Littiraire, a debating and literary soc, 
 before which as well as before many 
 other associations and institutions of 
 a like character, he has delivered 
 numerous addresses and lectures on 
 various subjects connected with Li- 
 terature, Science, Art, History and 
 Politics. As a journalist he made his 
 debut in 1857, as chief ed. of La Minerve. 
 the leading Conservative organ ofL. 
 C, upon which he remained until 1859. 
 Previous to this he had contributed 
 to the French press, but it was not 
 until he had taken possession of the 
 ed. chair that he manifested any great 
 power as a writer. In the latter year 
 he founded, at Montreal, a journal of 
 his own, UOrdre, which he conducted 
 until 1860, when he disposed of the 
 
 paper, and accepted the ed. of L'Echodu 
 Cabinet dc Lecture Paroissi/il, of the same 
 city, a literary and religious periodical. 
 This he conducted with success and 
 ability. His greatest achievement, 
 however, in connection with the press, 
 and a most important auxiliary to our 
 nascent literature, was in founding in 
 Jany. 1864, La Revue Canadienne, a 
 monthly literary and political review 
 and mag., which under his editorship 
 and that of a committee of literar^- 
 gentlemen, has jjrospered with unex- 
 ampled success. Previous to the esta- 
 blishment of this useful and valuable 
 periodical the French Can. portion of 
 the population had no work of the kind J 
 worthy of the name. It is true that 1 
 two other French Can. magazines were 
 published at Quebec, but they did not 
 combine the same amount of varied 
 and useful matter which is exhibited 
 in the pages of the Revue, nor had they 
 on their respective corps of editors and 
 contributoi"s the names of so many 
 writers of a varied and diversified 
 talent and character. Were it fori 
 nothing else, and the service we ven- 
 ture to assert was an important one, : 
 than the establishment of such an able 
 exponent of the views and opinions 
 of the Gallic race in the new Domi- 
 nion, and such a considerable literary 
 work as the Revue has proved it- 
 self to be. Mr. R. should, in our 
 opinion, hold a high place among the 
 benefactors of his nationality. To 
 this periodical he is still a constant 
 contributor. We give below the 
 titles of his principal essays and 
 writings in the Revue. In 1867 he 
 was the chief founder of a new 
 daily journal, published at Mont- 
 real^ called the Nouveau Monde, of 
 which he is an associate ed. As a 
 writer. Mr. R. has displayed no com- 
 mon degree of excellence. He is con- 
 sidered to be a perfect French scholar ; 
 and we know that there are very few 
 in this country so well acquainted 
 with French literature. As a crilii 
 he holds the scales with an even hand. 
 His style is pure, fervent, unstudied, 
 and is often very captivating. It i> 
 so clear that the dullest mind would 
 find his writings intelligible. He 
 wields a vigorous pen, strong for good 
 or against evil. We have often heard 
 
1. 
 
 \t1 
 
 RUS 
 
 *'it expressed that several of his essays 
 •and newspaper articles, would do no 
 1 discredit to some of the leading French 
 ^writers of the present day. Mr.R., has 
 so far, contributed nothing in a perma- 
 nent form to our literature, but we 
 hope the day is not far distant wdien 
 we, in common with the rest of the 
 world may have the pleasure of wel- 
 coming a volume from his accom- 
 <i plished and versatile pen.

 Ryan, Matthew. A Can. journ. B. at 
 St. John's, Newfoundland. At an early 
 age commenced contributing to the 
 newspaper press of his native colony, 
 principally to the Public Ledger and the 
 Newfoundlander, some of his articles 
 attracting a good deal of attention and 
 procuring for him the friendship of 
 leading public men. In 1842 removed 
 to Can., and for a short time was con- 
 nected with the Times (Mont..) but ow- 
 ing to a difference of opinion with the 
 publisher on the political questions and 
 events of the day, threw up his position 
 and soon afterwards (1844) became as- 
 sociate ed. with Mr. Hincks on the Pilot. 
 He remained on that paper until 1848, 
 when he wasappd. to office under Govt. 
 Mr. R. occupied various positions of 
 trust and importance under the Crown, 
 the last (which he resigned in 1859,) be- 
 ing the Inspecloi'ship of Customs for L. 
 C. During the whole of his residence 
 in Can. has been more or less a writer 
 for the press, invariably taking the 
 Reform side in politics. As a writer 
 he is clear, polished and unlaboured. 
 He ought to take a prominent place on 
 the Colonial press. In 1849 he was 
 admitted to the Bar of L. C, but ^id 
 not practice until 10 years afterwards.

 Rterson, Rev. Adolphus Egerton, D. D., 
 LL D. A Can. controversial writer

 the Province of Ontario. B. in the Tp. 
 of Charlotteville, London, afterwards 
 the Talbot District (now Co. Norfolk, 
 U. C) 24 March, 1803. His father. 
 Col. Joseph Ryerson, was an U. E. 
 Loyalist, in the British Service at 
 at the time of the Am. Revolution, 
 and was one of the 550 volunteers who 
 went to Charleston, South Carolina. 
 For his activity in bearing despatches 
 about 200 miles into the interior, he 
 was promoted to a Lieutenancy in the 
 Prince of ^Vales' Volunteers. Subse- 
 quently Col. Ryerson was in 6 battles, 
 and was once wounded. He came to 
 Can. from New Jersey, by way of N. 
 
 B. in 1783. and enjoyed his half-pay 
 until the^time of his death. Egerton 
 was the fourth son of Col. Rwrson. 
 He was named after two intimate 
 friends of his father in the Army, 
 (Capt. Adolphus and Dr. Egerton, w'^e 
 believe.^ His youth was passed in his 
 native county, and at its Grammar 
 Sch. and at that of the Gore District, 
 in Hamilton, he received his early 
 education, after which he became an 
 assistant to his brother-in-law. Dr. 
 Mitchell in the Talbot District Gram- 
 mar Sch. His mother was a woman 
 distinguished for her clearness of in- 
 tellect, for her strong religious princi- 
 ples, and her kindness of disposition. 
 Egerton was her favorite son, and she 
 sought to inoculcate into his ardent 
 mind all those noble principles which 
 lie at the basis of all true excellence 
 of character. Three of his brothers 
 having entered the sacred ministry, 
 he also, after due prejjaration, fol- 
 lowed their example, and on his 
 22nd birth day (24th March, 1825,) 
 was ordained by Bishop Hedding a 
 Deacon of the Metli. Episcopal Ch. 
 in Can. It being Easter, his first ser- 
 mon was on the appropriate subject 
 of the Resurrection of Christ. He was 
 first stationed on the Niagara Circuit, 
 embracing many miles ; then on the 
 Yonge street Circuit, including the 
 town of York, (now Toronto.) and, 
 in succession at the Credit, Indian 
 Mission, Toronto, Cobourg, Ancaster, 
 &c. Circuits in those days rarely 
 embraced less than 30 or 40 miles, 
 with settlers few and far between. 
 In 1829, (the year after the Am. 
 General Conference constituted the 
 Can. branch a separate annual Confe- 
 rence.) he took a prominent part in the 
 establishment of the Christian Guar- 
 dian newspaper (Tor.,) now in its 37th 
 year, as an organ of that conference 
 and became its first ed. In 1833, he 
 was appointed a delegate to Eng. to 
 confer with the Brit. Conference on a 
 projected union with that Conference. 
 In 1836, he was again appointed to 
 proceed to Eng. to procure a Royal 
 Charter for the U. C. Academy which 
 had been established by the Confe- 
 rence at Cobourg, in the Newcastle 
 District, and to solicit subscriptions 
 in aid of the institution. In these 
 
RYE 
 
 331 
 
 objects he was successful. On his 
 return he was aprain appointed ed. 
 of the Christian Guardian, and was 
 afterwards stationed at Kingston and 
 Toronto. In 1840, the Brit. Conference 
 having dissolved the union, he was a 
 third time appointed as a delegate to 
 that Conference respecting the matter 
 in dispute. In 1841, theU. C. Academy 
 having been by Act of Parliament 
 constituted a Univ. Coll., he was ap- 
 pointed its first Principal ; and, in the 
 same year, received the honorary 
 degree of D. D., from the Wesl. Univ. 
 at Middletown, Connectitut. In 1844 
 he was appointed by Lord Metcalfe, 
 then Gov. Genl., Supt. of Public Schools 
 in U. C, and, in 1844-5, he made an 
 extensive tour in the U. S. and Europe, 
 with a view to collect information 
 to bring into operation a satisfactory 
 system of Public Elementary Educa- 
 tion in U. C. In this he was sin- 
 gularly successful. In 1846, he pub- 
 lished*^ an elaborate Report on the 
 subject, and submitted to the Govt, a 
 draft of Bill to carry out his views. 
 The bill became lavv, and has ever 
 since formed the basis of the U. C. 
 Common Sch. system. In 1853, he 
 submitted to the Govt, another draft 
 Bill to improve the condition of the 
 Grammar Sch's. This also became lavv, 
 and, from time to time he has sought 
 by legal enactments to build up and 
 perfect that system of public sch's, 
 the foundation of which was so suc- 
 cessfully laid in 1846. In 1848 he 
 established The Journal of Education of 
 Upper Canada, which still continues, he 
 being its Chief-Ed. from its first ap- 
 pearance. As a writer, a statesman, 
 and a controversialist Dr. R. has con- 
 fessedly few, if any, equals in Can., 
 while in his successful administration 
 of the now important Educational 
 Department of U.C, he has elicited 
 the highest commendations from men 
 of every shade of political opinion. 
 As yet his purely literary elTorts have 
 not been numerous, but his con- 
 troversial pamphlets are many. His 
 earliest were written in 1827-8, (when 
 he was 25 years of age,) in reply to the 
 attacks onthe Wesl. body by the Rev. 
 Dr. Strachan, then Archdeacon of 
 York, but now the Venerable Bish. of 
 Toronto. They at once established his 
 
 RYE 
 
 reputation as a writer and have been 
 the forerunner of the many equally 
 able and successful pamphlets in the 
 accompanying list. 
 
 At present Dr. R. contemplates writ- 
 ing (if spared) a History of the United 
 Empire Loyalists, and of his native 
 country. It is looked for with much 
 interest, and will, when issued, form a 
 highly valuable contribution to His- 
 torical Literature. As an appreciation 
 of his public labours, the Univ. of Vic- 
 toria Coll., (Cobourg,) conferred on 
 him in 1861 the degree of LL. D. Dr. 
 R. is also a corresponding mem. of the

 Sangster, Charles. A Can. poet. B. at 
 the Navy Yard, Point Frederick, 
 Kingston, i 6 July, 1 822. Is the grand- 
 son of an U. E. Loyalist, who served 
 in the Royal Army during the Am. 
 Revolutionary War. His father, who 
 was employed in a subordinate capacity 
 at one of the Naval Stations on the 
 Upper Lakes, died when the future poet 
 was only in his second year. Although 
 sent regularly to sch. in his younger 
 days, the education which he received 
 was very meagre, and it was not until 
 he had reached man's estate that he 
 acquired any knowdedge of a superior 
 character or became acquainted with 
 general literature. When only 15 
 years of age was forced to leave sch. 
 and home, to contribute to the sup 
 port of his widowed mother. For 
 some time he obtained employment in 
 the naval laboratory at Fort Henry, 
 where he assisted in making the car- 
 tridges with which Capt. Sandom, 
 R. N., battered the windmill at Pres- 
 cott. during the uprising in 1837 ; and 
 for 10 years he fulfilled the duties of a 
 humble position in the OrdnanceOffice, 
 
 ' Kingston. Seeing, however, little or no 
 chance of preferment or advancement 
 and knowing, as he must have known, 
 that he was capable of far higher and 
 more congenial work, he, in 1849, re- 
 linquished the situation which he held 
 
 and proceeded to Amherstburg, where 
 he ed. the Courier., a Conservative 
 journal, then published in that town. 
 Returning to Kingston in the year fol- 
 lowing, owing to the death of the pub- 
 lisher of the Courier., he entered the 
 office of the Whig, his position being, 
 or supposed to be, that of sub-ed., 
 but in reality Book-keeper and Proof- 
 reader of the establishment. Here 
 he remained during the best part 
 of his life, until 1861. In February, 
 1864, he joined the staff of the Daily 
 News., of the same city, as reporter, on 
 which paper he still continues. Our 
 readers will thus perceive that the life 
 of the national poet of Can., as he is 
 justly regarded, has been a very quiet, 
 laborious and uneventful one, offering 
 few occurrences or points for his bio- 
 grapher to expatiate upon. As a writer 
 of verse Mr. S. began to cultivate 
 the muses when very young — he wrote 
 poems for his play-fellows, which were 
 as far removed from poetry as the 
 earth is from the heavens. But this 
 was not to continue ; he possessed the 
 genius of poetry, and the harmony of 
 song must come forth. With years 
 came education, experience and art — 
 his style became less rugged and more 
 finished, as his mind became more cul- 
 tivated, and his powers as a w^riter of 
 verse were more exercised. He early 
 wrote for the newspapers and periodi- 
 cals, his contributions appearing chiefly 
 in the Kingston papers, the Literary 
 Garland., Barkers Mag. and the Anglo- 
 American., until his name and his poems 
 grew familiar, and his reputation ex- 
 tended beyond the boundary lines of 
 his native Can. 
 
 Mr. S's first volume " The St. Law- 
 rence and the Saguenay., and other Poems" 
 was not generally distinguished for 
 that artistic finish to wbich he has at- 
 tained in his more recent publication, 
 " Hesperus and other Poems., and Lyrics.'' 
 In noticing this, we note also the pleas- 
 ing fact that his muse is progressive, 
 which is not always the case with 
 poetry. We might instance the author 
 of '' Festus " and " The Angel World;' 
 whose latest works show a decided 
 falling off; the author of" The Angel of 
 the House., " and others who have sadly 
 retrograded since the publication of 
 their first successful efforts. But while 
 
SAN 
 
 336 
 
 SAN 
 
 there are traces of genuine poetry inter- 
 spersed through Mr. Ss earlier poems, 
 there is also an observable lack of true 
 artistic skill. The leading poem, par- 
 ticularly, abounds with false rhymes, 
 false accent, and false quantity ; but 
 with all its faults, the volume contains 
 poems which are e^stremely beautiful 
 and full of poetic sentiment and fire. 
 There are sliinzas in " The St. Lawrence 
 and the Sagiienay," which, were the en- 
 tire poem as free from fault as they, 
 would make it worthy of the subject, 
 and a living addition to Can. litera- 
 ture. Our present intention, however, 
 is more to point out and to prove that 
 Mr. S. is fairly entitled to the designa- 
 tion bestowed* on him, that of being a 
 strictly Canadian Poet. In 1850 ap- 
 peared his second volume Hesperus and 
 other Poems and Lyrics, which is deci- 
 dedly the best of his productions, and 
 was very favorably received by the 
 press of Can., GL Britain and the U. S. 
 A Scottish writer, in reviewing the 
 work, places Mr. S. alongside of such . 
 poets as Coventry Palmore and Charles 
 Mackay. Since the appearance of this 
 last named work he has occasionally 
 contributed to the press. Some of his 
 pieces appeared in the short lived Brit. 
 Am. May. (Tor.) ; others in the Saturday 
 Reader (Mont.) He also contributed a 
 poem on the occasion of the '" Bryant 
 Festival" at N, Y., which was pub- 
 lished in the work issued by the Cen- 
 tury Club of that city. Mr.'Dewart in 
 his recent volume on Can. Poetry gives 
 his estimate of our national poet : — 
 
 "Among those who have most courageously 
 appealed to the reading public, and most 
 largely enriched the poetic literature of 
 Canada, th<^ first place is due to Charles 
 Songster. The richness and extent of hb 
 contributions, the originality and descriptive 
 power he displays, the variety of Canadian 
 themes on which he has written with force 
 and elegance, his passionate sympathy with 
 the beautiful in nature, and the chivalrous 
 and manly patriotism which finds an utte- 
 rance in his poems, fully vindicate his claim 
 to a higher place in the regard of his coim- 
 trymen. than he has yet obtained. Alex- 
 ander ilcLachlan has also evinced that he 
 possesses in a high degree the gift of song. 
 In the opinion of many, he is the sweetest 
 and most intensely human of all our Cana- 
 dian bards. As .Sangster and McLachlan are 
 quite unlike, and each possesses a strongly 
 marked individuality of his own, any com- 
 
 parison between them is inappropriate, and 
 might be unfair to both. In elaborate 
 elegance and wealth of descriptive power, in 
 the success with which he ha.s treated Cana- 
 dian themes, and in something of Miltonic 
 stateliness and originality of style, Sangster 
 has certainly no equal in this countrj'. But 
 in strong human sympathy, in subtle appre- 
 ciation of character, in deep natural pathos, 
 and in those gushes of noble and manly 
 feeling which awaken the responsive echoes 
 of every true heart, McLachlan is peerless. 
 That they should both be so little known to 
 the reading public of Canada, is a matter of 
 sincere regret. Taking into consideration 
 the subtle delicacy of thought and elevation 
 of style which distinguishes much of his 
 poetry it is not so difficult to understand 
 why Sangster should be comparatively imap- 
 preciated by the great mass of readers ; but 
 that the sentiments of sjTnpathy with huma- 
 nity in all conditions, and the protests 
 against every form of injustice and preten- 
 sion, so simply and earnestly expressed in 
 McLachlan's poetry, should secure so few 
 admirers, is a fact that, in spite of all pos- 
 sible explanations, is by no means creditable 
 to the taste or intelligence of Canada.''

 '• Western Canada is enabled to boast, and 
 does boast somewhat loudly, of Charles 
 Sangster, who has celebrated in Spenserian 
 Stanzas, the beauties and the sublimities of the 
 St. Lawrence and the Saguenay. Well may 
 •the Canadians be proud of such contributions 
 to their infant Uterature, well maj' they be 
 forward to recognise his lively imagination, 
 his bold masterly style, and the fullness of 
 his imager\'. • • • • There is 
 much of the spirit of Wordsworth in this 
 writer, only the tone is religious instead of 
 being philosophicaL • • • • • 
 In some sort and according to his degree, 
 he may be regarded as the Wordsworth of 
 Canada." — National Mag. (Ix>n.) 
 
 " His whole soul seems steeped in love 
 and poesy, and finds utterance in expressions 
 generally eloquent, bold and musical. He is 
 thoroughly sentimental, teeming with ideas 
 of the sublime and beautiful, and his poetry 
 bears evident marks of enthusiastic poetical 
 conception. Mr. Sangster is a Poet of no 
 mean order, and his volume is by far the most 
 respectable contribution of Poetry that has 
 yet l>een made to the mfant literature of 
 Canada." — Thomas McQceex. 
 
 " It is a pleasant and tasteful depiction of 
 the scenes and associations of our noble 
 river, written in the same stanza as Childe 
 Harold, and with some echo of its mode of 
 thought, though lacking the force and pathoi*

 "About four years ago we greeted the 
 appearance of a Canadian versifier, recogniz- 
 ing in him at his advent the germ of a future 
 poet. Nor have we been disappointed. 
 Charles Sangster is now, we think, fairly 
 entitled to a place upon * Parnassus' Hill.' 
 He writes as though he had stepped up 
 thither himself, unconcious and perhaps 
 uncaring whether those around him sanc- 
 tion the move, or rebuke him for presump- 
 tion. We mean that he seems to live and 
 breathe mainly in a spiritual atmosphere ; 
 sometiiiies to be yearning for communion 
 with things not of the earth, earthy — but 
 good and comely and of good repute ; and 
 to hold converse with fantastic beings of his 
 own imagining, as though they were his 
 chosen and most sympathetic associates. 
 Yet, would it be injustice to suppose that 
 Mr. Sangster affects to be above, or even to 
 keep himself aloof from, his fellow men. 
 By no means. Love, as we poor mortals 
 know it, is his frequent theme. The domes- 
 tic affections prompt him oft. In rural life 
 he revels. His patriotism glows, from con- 
 tact with local associations and specific 
 events. He can look upon the Apocalypse 
 with unshrinking gaze ; but he has an eye 
 for the daisies under his foot. In a word, 
 his mind is apparently suffused with the 
 divine afflatus, so difficult to analyse or des- 
 cribe, so readily understood by the initiated. 
 » » • * • 
 
 This is not the golden age fdr poetry. The 
 world is too busy, too impatient, too much 
 titillated by the clever ministering of the 
 daily press ; it can scarcely abstract itself 
 from the realities of life, and the abounding 
 movement of our day. Still, to the faithful 
 few, we commend this comparatively un- 
 known lyrist, and shall be glad indeed if 
 what we have said and quoted shall aid in 
 giving him his proper rank." — Albion, (N. Y.) 
 
 " His verse adds new interest to the woods 
 and streams amidst which he sings and em- 
 bellishes the charms of the maidens he cele- 
 brates." — Dr. O. W. Holmes. 
 
 "Miss Ingelow admires some of the poems 
 very much, especially that on the Comet, and 
 the very beautiful song called' YoungAgain,' 
 also the ' Wren.' Mr. Sangster is evidently 
 a true poet and his verses are all the more 
 pleasant to read because he is never careless 
 and never affected." — Miss Jean Ingelow. 
 
 " I think it {Hesperus^ etc.) a decided im- 
 provement upon your first volume, showing 
 both more freshness and more art, which is 
 the highest requisite of poetry. I am glad to 
 see that you are thus helping to lay the foun- 
 dations of a Canadian Literature, and hope 
 you will give us many more corner-stones.

 at the Academy of Tain. On the death 
 of his father, fn 1832, he emigrated to 
 Can. with his family. For some time 
 he followed the occupation of a farmer 
 in U. C. He became an active and 
 zealous mem. of the Established Ch. 
 of Scot, in this country, to which he 
 had always belonged ; and, in 1838. 
 that body induced him to establish 
 and ed. a journal in their interest, 
 which was called the Scotsman, (Tor.) 
 " Only two numbers of the paper, how- 
 ever," says a sketch of Mr. S. which appeared 
 in his paper '* bearing this name, was issued, 
 as how well soever Scotsman might have 
 designated the immediate object of the 
 journal, it was not patriotic enough in the 
 broadest sense of that t^rm, to meet the 
 liberal views of ilr. S., and he therefore 
 changed it into the British Colonist." 
 
 The paper was first published 
 weekly. It gradually increased in 
 public'favour, and from the first took 
 rank as a leading organ of public opi- 
 nion in the Province. 
 
 We again quote from the sketch be- 
 fore mentioned : 
 
 " After the Church of Scotland had ob- 
 tained those rights she struggled for.'"

 " The British Colonist ceased to be the 
 organ of a party or to have connection with 
 ecclesiastical affairs of any kind, further than 
 the publication of news of every denomina- 
 tion of religion. It neither suited the tastes 
 nor the character of Mr. S., to do the drud- 
 gery of organship, or to support any minis- 
 try or set of men, without reference to 
 their proper and particular merits. lie 
 therefore determined to assume the j^osition 
 of an independent journalist ; and he has 
 ever and consistently maintained that cha- 
 racter, up to his last hour. He knew and 
 calculated the price he had to pay for daring 
 to be independent. He met, as he expected, 
 the disingenuous attacks of the men of all 
 the extreme parties. Again, he had his 
 motives deliberately and elaborately mis- 
 construed ; and slander did its worst. It 
 was said he was ' on the edge,' only to see 
 which way the 'cat might jump,' in order 
 to advance liis own interest. No imputations 
 could be more false, as his friends knew ; and 
 as is well proved by the fact, that he never 
 did become the organ of any set of men, 
 or any Government. We say, well proved, 
 because when we have seen it has been 
 the interest of each succeeding govern- 
 ment, to buy up little prints all over the 
 Country, it was with sti-onger reason their 
 interest, to secure, if they could, the ser- 
 vices of a journal so influential as the 
 British Colonist. So it follows that, their 
 not doing it was proof they could not ; and 
 we do not go too far, when we say, that for 
 this thing the independent journalists of 
 Canada, owe Mr. S., more than respect, — they 
 owe him gratitude, for an example of the 
 success of an indejjendentjom'nalist in times 
 when every engine of corruption was used 
 against him, is a proof of a trial, and proof 
 that integrity and independence will ever 
 meet their fitting reward. It required much 
 in all the circumstances of the case to 
 establish this, but the truth elicited, was 
 worth more than the cost. We have said it 
 did not suit Mr. S's. taste to do the drudgery 
 of a party or a ministry. We might with 
 truth have used a strong expression, and 
 said that, it did not accord with his nature. 
 He was a man of independence as stern, and 
 rugged, and well defined, as his native 
 mountains. Born of the race of mountai- 
 neers he shewed those virtues for which 
 history has made them famous. He gloried 
 in being independent and he often laughed 
 with quiet scorn, at the efforts which party 
 politicians, time and again, made to crush 
 liim. Up to his last hours, it was his delight 
 to tell to his friends the story of his struggles 
 and the plots of divers politicians to destroy 
 his influence ; and how signally he had foiled 
 them. He dwelt with pride, as he had good 
 cause, on all those things ; yet not with 
 empty boasting."

 From a weekly paper, the British 
 Colonist became a semi-weekly ; then, 
 in addition Mr. S. pnblished the Daili/ 
 Colonist: and to that he added a weekly 
 paper, the News of the ^yeelx. AH these 
 papers survived their originator and 
 founder for some years. He also est;i- 
 hlished the Canadian Almanac, whicli 
 has been continued, first by Mr. Mac- 
 lear, and Latterly by Dv. Ghewett, 
 (Tor.) In pontics Mr. S. was a Liberal 
 Conservative.

 Sewell, Willlvm George. A Can. and 
 Am. author and journ. B. at Quebec, 
 1829. D. there, 18G2. Was a grand- 
 son of the above. Mr. S. was bred to 
 the Bar, but although well read and 
 very much attached to his profession, 
 its practice was irksome and disagree- 
 able to him. In 1853 he removed to 
 N. Y., where he became translator 
 and law reporter to the Herald news- 
 paper, " the duties of which position," 
 says that journal in its obituary 
 notice, '•' he discharged with ability." 
 Shortly afterwards he joined the ed. 
 staff of the Dally Times., of the same city, 
 '■'■ where his good service, sound judg- 
 ment and varied accomplishments were 
 ever appreciated." Some years pre- 
 vious to his death he retired to the 
 West Indies, in order to guard against 
 the inroads of tubercular consumption, 
 a disease which he had contracted 
 whilst performing his arduous news- 
 paper labours. While residing there 
 he wrote a series of letters to the Times 
 on the Emancipation Question and the 
 position of the blacks on those islands, 
 which attracted considerable attention, 
 toth at hojije and abroad ; they were 
 
 considered exceedingly valuable, both 
 for the large amount of information 
 which they contained and the spirit of 
 fairness in which they were written. 
 In compliance with the demands of 
 many parties, Mr. S. afterwards repro 
 duced these letters in book-form an 1 
 through this work established a high 
 reputation for himself as an author 
 both in Am. and Europe. In addition 
 to his writings in the newspaper press 
 he contributed many papers to the 
 leading periodicals in the U. S., on 
 various subjects, which were marked 
 by more than ordinary literary talenU 
 Had he lived, there is no doubt but that 
 with his great ability and his intense 
 powers of application he would have 
 attained a high place amongst the 
 literati of the present day. 
 
 "His death has deprived the New York 
 press of an able, honest and most indus- 
 trious member ; it has robbed a very large 
 circle of journalists of an ailectionate, faith- 
 ful rnd whole-souled friend."— i/eraZrf, (N.Y.)

 work on the West Indies contains matter

 we remember to have seen on this important 
 question." Express (Do.)

 "This is, as it seems to us, a work of very 
 great value. It gives the result of personal 
 examination, and puts on record specific 
 facts and statistical details. The author is 
 trammelled in his observations neither by 
 preconceived theories nor by the desire of 
 generalizing bis results. He, in fact, declines 
 presenting general conclusions, on the ground 
 that each island had its own history, its pe- 
 cularities of position, soil, and adaptation, 
 its commercial facilities or hindrances, its 
 numerical proportions and social relations 
 between the dominant and the enslaved 
 races, and that there is not one of the par- 
 ticulars comprehended under these heads 
 that has not modified the effects of emanci- 
 pation." — JSf. A. Rev.

 Sheppard, George. A Can. joiirn. B. at 
 Newark-on-Treiit, Eng., about 1820. 
 Was apprenticed to a book-seller and 
 printer, and from an early age cultiva- 
 ted literary tastes and babits. In his 
 18lh year originated a litorary perio- 
 dical, intituled The Idler, which he con- 
 ducted until the discussions of a Deba- 
 ting Soc, of which he was a mem., 
 awakened an interest in more exciting 
 topics, (jodwin's '• Political Justice,'' 
 which William Hazlitt says, produced 
 a more profound impression on the 
 youth of his day than any book 
 published, fell into his hands and laid 
 the foundation of extreme views in 
 politics and some peculiarities in reli- 
 gion. He became a contributor to the 
 Dispatch, (Lon.,) then under the ed. of 
 Dr. Beaumont, The New Moral World, 
 an organ of the co-operative and 
 quasi-communistic movement, which 
 at the time held sway among the in- 
 dustrial classes of Eng., and the-

 Monthly RsposUory^ an outspoken liberal, 
 journ. then under the management of 
 Mr. W. J. Fox, the eloquent lecturer 
 and afterward mem. for Oldham in the 
 House of Commons. A stenographic 
 report of a political address delivered 
 by Sir Bulwer Lytton, (then Sir E. L. 
 Bulwer.) led to his engagement as 
 reporter of a local radical journal. In 
 184n he became reporter of the Courant^ 
 I Newcastle-on-Tyne,) a commercial non- 
 party paper, of which he soon rose to 
 be ed. In 1843 he visited the Western 
 Slates, and passed several months on 
 the remote frontier of Wisconsin, then 
 a sparsely settled territory. On his 
 return to Eng. in the spring of the fol- 
 lowing year lie resumed the ed. of the 
 Courant. He also became ed. of the 
 Advertiser, (Newcastle.) a political jour- 
 nal of the liberal stamp, issued from 
 the Cjurant office ; at the same time 
 contributing to the Morning Chronicle^ 
 and to the Daily News, (Lon..) fvom the 
 period of its establishment. An oral 
 discussion with Mr. Edward Baines of 
 the Mercury, (Leeds.) on the question of 
 voluntary as opposed to state education, 
 brought him into notice as a public 
 speaker; and sharing the excitement 
 generated by the Revolutionary out- 
 breaks on tlie Continent in 1848 he 
 removed to Hull, where he took an 
 active part in public meetings, and lec- 
 tured upon the labor question, with a 
 view to mitigate the hostility with 
 which the plans of Louis Blanc and the 
 French Republicans were regarded by 
 the propertied classes. He ed. the 
 Eastern Counties Herald,, a Hull journal. 
 A series of articles on organized emi- 
 gration, contributed to a London pe- 
 riodical, and the publication of his 
 book on the North-Western States re- 
 sulted in the formation of an Iowa 
 Emigration Soc, of which lie was cho- 
 sen leader. Resiirning the ed. of the 
 Herald early in ISJO, he proceeded to 
 Iowa, and during the remainder of the 
 year was occupied with the aifairs of 
 the infant settlement. There he formed 
 connections which took him to Wash- 
 ington as associate ed. of the Daily 
 Rtpuhlir, where he remained until the 
 close of the Fillmore administration of 
 which that journal was the organ. 
 From 1854 to 1857 he was retained in 
 the actuarial department of the Can. 
 
 Life Assurance Co., (Ham. U. C.) In the 
 autumn of the last mentioned year he 
 re-entered the ranks of journalism as 
 ed. of the Daily Colonist, (Tor..) soou 
 afterward, however, coming to a rup- 
 ture with the ministry of the day, and 
 finally separating from the Colonist on 
 the occasion of the Brown-Dorion quar- 
 rel with Sir Edmund Head. He next 
 attached himself editorially to the 
 Globe. (Tor..) and in Nov. 1859 was ihe 
 mover of a resolution in favor of disso- 
 lution of the Union, in the Refcrm 
 Convention held there. Through the 
 Times, (Ham.,) he continued the advo- 
 cacy of this and other constituticoal 
 changes in the direction of indepen- 
 dence. In 1860-61, he was again at 
 Washington, having gone there in the 
 summer of the former year under an ei- 
 gagement with one of the central coa- 
 mittees concerned in the then Presidei- 
 tial election. While thus employed 
 he corresponded with yarious iou> 
 nals, the Leader, (Tor.,) amongst otheis. 
 From 186-2 to 1864, he was at Quebec 
 pursuing his profession, fii^st ou tho 
 Chronicle and latterly on the Mercury. 
 He was for 12 months occupied as* 
 mem. of the Financial and Depart- 
 mental Commission, of which he was 
 also Secy. He now resides in N. Y. 
 Mr. S"s. reputiition as a Can. jour- 
 nalist stood very high ; indeed he may 
 be placed in the front rank with the 
 few other gifted and brillant minds 
 who have, from time to time, held that 
 position. In style clear, nervous and 
 trenchant, often inclined to the sarcas- 
 tic, he was no uncommon opponent in 
 a controversial warfare; whilst as a 
 partizan he could render the most tel- 
 ling and at the same time the most 
 serviceable assistance. Not a few of 
 our public men and writers for the 
 press have experienced the force of his 
 pen in some chance attack or encoun- 
 ter, and of these there has rarely been 
 found one who possessed the power 
 or the ability or cope successfully 
 with him. We append a list of his 
 several book publications.

 Smilev. Robert REm. A Can. journ. B. 
 in Irel. D. at Hamilton, U.C., 10 May, 
 1855. When a mere boy came with 
 his parents to Can., and was appren- 
 ticed to the printing bnsiness in the 
 Herald Office, (King.), where by dint 
 of energy, perseverance and" hard 
 work, he raised himself from being 
 the roller-boy to the position of fore- 
 man of the establishment. Subse- 
 quently served in the latter capacity 
 in the office of the British Whig. Leav- 
 ing Kingston in 1844, he went to 
 Montreal, where he was employed as 
 foreman in the printing establishment 
 of Starke & Co. While in Montreal, 
 in the summer of 1846, was induced 
 by some of the leading men of the 
 Conservative party to establish the 
 Spectator (Ham.,) a semi-weekly jour- 
 nal, whose fii"st number was issued 
 on the 9 July of that year. From a 
 yery full and aflectionate obituary no- 
 tice of Mr. S.. written by his colleague, 
 Mr. Gillespy, we extract the following, 
 which in addition to furnishing our 
 readers with an account of the labours 
 and services of the subject of this no- 
 tice in the cause of Can. journalism 
 and constitutional government, will 
 also afford a brief view of the early 
 history of the Spectator : 
 
 '•The manly, independent and straight- 
 forward course it [the Spectator] pursued, 
 soon earned for it the esteem of all partiea, 
 and though recognized as the organ of the 
 Upper Canadian Conservatives, it continued 
 to maintain the independent position it had 
 assumed. When the Draper jlinistrj' came 
 into power, it was soon found that their 
 truckling policy was not calculated to ad- 
 vance the interests of the part}*, of which 
 the Spectator was the orgaii, and it conse-

 quently waged an uncompromising warfare 
 against them. In a very short time Mr. 
 Draper found his way to the bench; the 
 ministry fell to pieces, and the party became 
 almost annihilated. To raise up the party 
 again was indeed a hopeless task, still the 
 Speciator pixrsued its undeviating course, 
 under the able management of Mr. Smiley. 
 Then it was that the great and all-absorbing 
 question of the Clergy Reserves was brought 
 prominently before the people. The Re- 
 formers whilst clamoring for the abolition of 
 the Reserves, submitted to be duped by their 
 leaders, and the question, through the selfish 
 aims of the men in power, was permitted to 
 be kept in abeyance from Parliament to Par- 
 liament, until at length the pressure from 
 without compelled them to take a more de- 
 cided stand, although they never intended 
 to bring it to a final settlement. All this 
 time the Spectator earnestly labored on the 
 liberal side of this great question, and by its 
 able advocacy, won the support of the mo- 
 derate men of both the Conservative and 
 Reform parties. It took a prominent stand 
 in opposition to the late ministry, and no 
 doubt contributed greatly to their defeat. 
 The views it enunciated on the leading ques- 
 tions of the day were being gradually adopted 
 by the leaders of the Conservative party, 
 and on the disruption of the late ministry, 
 Sir Allan McNab and his present Conserva- 
 tive colleagues in the Government readily 
 gave way, thus virtually adopting the very 
 principles the Spectator had all along been 
 contending for, and acting on its advice they 
 assumed the reins of Government. 
 
 "In 1852, the daily issue of the Spectator 
 was commenced under very discouraging 
 circumstances. The first year, however, 
 more than realized the expectations formed 
 of its success. * * * So flattering 
 were its prospects that it was found necessary 
 to enlarge its dimensions, which change took 
 place on the very day of Mr. Smiley's death. 
 He accomplished what had long been his 
 ambition, namely : to place the Spectator in 
 such a position as would give it a standing 
 unsurpassed by any journal in the Province. 
 But alas, how uncertain is life! — little did 
 he think that the day on which his journal 
 was enlarged should witness his death — Al- 
 though his mission may be said to have been 
 accomplished, he was actively engaged in 
 planning arrangements for the future up to 
 the last day of his hfe."' 
 
 We may add that Mr. S. was entirely 
 a self-educated man. As a publfc 
 writer lie was an ornament to tlieCan. 
 press, as he would have been to that 
 of any country. Of him it might well 
 be said that he possessed the pen of a 
 ready writer. His style combined 
 strength and vigour with great clear- 
 
 ness and precision. In the cause of 
 truth and on the side of the weak and 
 oppressed, he was always to be found, 
 and his general life was so blameless, 
 tolerant and charitable, that he went 
 out of the world leaving scarcely a 
 single enemy behind him. His pi-e- 
 malure death was regarded as a public 
 calamity by people of all classes and 
 opinions.

 he attended sch. In 1837 the family re- 
 moved toCan., and youngS. taught sch. 
 at St. George, U. C. With the savings of 
 the year he went back toN. Y. and stu- 
 died in the Univ. Grammar Sch. there,

 Ordnance "for the use and convenience of

 " The author had been employed to ins- 
 pect and report upon the state of the defences 
 of the Canadian frontier, and he drew up a 
 brief sketch of the wars to which that fron- 
 tier had been exposed, in order to exhibit 
 the strategic value of the measures of defence 
 which he recommended. He states in the 
 preface to his work, that the events of the 
 wars of which it treats afiTord, in his opinion, a 
 demonstration of the impossibility of the 
 conquest of Canada by the United States, 
 pro\-ided the British Government should 
 avail itself of the militarj- precautions which 
 were in its power to adopt, ' by establishing 
 those conununications and occupying those

 SouLARD, AuGisTE. A French Can. littera- 
 teur. B. at St. Roch des Auhiais. L. C, 
 1819. D. there 28 June,! 852. He was 
 the son of a farmer. After a brilliant 
 course at the Coll. of St. Ann, he went 
 to Quebec to enter on the study of the 
 Law. Here he joined a literary coterie 
 composed almost entirely of young 
 men of his own nationality, to whose 
 exertions and talents is due the start 
 which the growing French Can. litera- 
 ture received at that time, and which 
 it has since well maintained. Mr. S. 
 became one of the most enthusiastic 
 and zealous of this trusty little band 
 of pioneei-s. Besides contributing on 
 literary subjects to the newspaper press 
 of the day, they organized several 
 literary associations, and a national 
 body — the St. Jean Baptiste Socicte — 
 which has since attained an important 
 position amongst similar fraternities in 
 the Province. In 1840 several gentle- 
 men, among whom were the late Judge 
 Morin and the historian Garneau, de- 
 termined on establishing a literary and 
 scientific journal the name of which 
 should be Le Journal des Families. So 
 highly were S's. abilities as a writer 
 thought of by them that he was offered 
 the joint ed. management of the new 
 paper. Le Journal, however, owing to 
 ditficulties unknown to us, never ap- 
 peared, except in prospectus. He con- 
 tinued to write as an amateur, princi- 
 pally in Le Canadien and Le Fantasquc, 
 in which latter many humourous 
 
 Eieces from his pen appeared. In 1 8i2 
 e was admitted to practice as an Ad- 
 vocate, and at once took his place as a 
 leading mem. of the bar. He was a 
 Uuent and ready speaker, and was 
 generally chosen as the " orator of the 
 day " at the annual banquets of the 
 St. Jean Baptiste Societe. About this 
 time he delivered, before r Association 
 de la Bibliotheque, 2 lectures on the 
 Gauls and 1 on the Commerce of the 
 Ancients, which were well thought of 
 and solicited for publication in perma- 
 nent form, a request which their 
 
 authors retiring and modest disposi- 
 tion prevented him from acceding to. 
 Several 'of his minor contributions to 
 literature are to be found in Le Rep. Can. 
 S. was distinguished for his extensive 
 reading, exquisite taste and sure judg- 
 ment ; as a literary critic very few in 
 his day could approach him. He died 
 young, much and sincerely regretted. 
 \Ve conclude our notice by an ex- 
 tract from a sketch of S. in Le Foy. Can. 
 (1866) written by Messrs. Derome and 
 Chauveau :

 caractere qui n'excluait cependant point le 
 courage et la fermete lorsqu'une injustice 
 vivement sentie le forcait a sortir de ses 
 habitudes, par ceux qui ont ete ses demiers

 his primary education. In 1793 he 
 matriculated at King's College, Aber- 
 deen, and proceeded to the degree of 
 A. M. He prosecuted his theological 
 studies at the Univ. of St. Andrews, 
 and had for fellow collegians Mr. (af- 
 terwards Prof.) Duncan, and Mr. 
 '(afterwards Dr.) Chalmeis, withbolh 
 of whom he formed strong and lasting 
 
 STR 
 
 friendship, which only ended with 
 death. In 1797, he obtained charge 
 by public competition of the paro- 
 chial sch. of King's Kettle, and had 
 for one of his pupils the late Sir 
 David Wilkie. In 1799, he received 
 an offer to proceed to Can. to organize 
 and take charge of a Coll. or Univ., 
 which Gov. Simcoe had determined on 
 establishing in U. C. This offer Mr. S. 
 accepted, and in the same year sailed 
 for Can. On arriving in the Province, 
 however, he found that the Gov. had 
 left for Eng., and that the Univ. 
 scheme had been abandoned. Under 
 these circumstances he opened a sch. 
 of his own at Kingston, for the educa- 
 tion of a select number^ of pupils ; 
 which he afterwards removed to Corn- 
 wall, where it was attended by 
 many young gentlemen who after- 
 wards attained high distinction in the 
 Province, one of these l)eing the late 
 Sir J. B. Robinson, and another the 
 late Sir J. B. Macaulay. While at 
 Kingston, Mr. S., studied divinity with 
 the view of entering the Ch. of Eng., 
 and in 1804 he was admitted to holy 
 orders and appd. to the mission of 
 Cornwall. In 1812, he was appd. rec 
 tor, and in 1825. archdeacon of York,

 Bish. of Tor. In 1.:$18, he had been, 
 by Royal Warrant, called to a seat in

 cussions and deliberations of those 
 bodies. He resigned both positions 
 shortly before the Union of the 2 Pro-

 21 Feby.. 1840. Was a son of the well- 
 Known Rev. John Stuart, D. D., a 
 clergym. of the Gh. of Eng., who for 
 sometime previous to his decease re- 
 sided alKingston. and brother of the late 
 Sir James Stuart, (whom see.) He re- 
 ceived his education at Cornwall, 
 under the present Bish. of Toronto, 
 and afterwards continued his studies 
 at Union Coll., Schenectady, U. S. In 
 1807 he was admitted to the bar, and 
 speedily rose to an extensive practice. 
 In 1810 he defended Judge Bedard, 
 Avho was exposed to a state prosecu- 
 tion, and from that time his assistance 
 was sought for in every difficult and im- 
 portau t case that came before the Coarts. 
 
 362 STU 
 
 His pleading was conducted with con 
 vincing and overpowering eloquence. 
 In 1815 he entered public life, being 
 returned to the Assem., L. C, as one 
 of the members for Quebec, for which 
 city he continued to sit in that cham- 
 ber until the suspension of the Consti- 
 tution in 1838. In the last mentioned 
 year he was appointed Sol. Genl, 
 During the course of his public life he 
 took part in the discussion of every 
 important question that arose, and sa"t 
 on every committee before which any 
 important matter was brought up. His 
 vast and varied information furnished 
 assistance in all these inquiries. His 
 views were on all occasions those of a 
 liberal mind. In 1838 he proceeded 
 to Eng. on behalf of the Constitutional 
 Association of which he was chairman, 
 for the purpose of forwarding the 
 Union of the two Provinces. This 
 was his last public mission. Mr. S pos- 
 sessed literary attainments of a high 
 order. During the existence of the 
 Star newspaper (Que..) he was a 
 frequent and able contributor to its 
 ed. columns. His taste in the fine arts 
 was just ; his knowledge of the lite- 
 rature of the day, extensive. He pos- 
 sessed an intimate acquaintance with 
 ancient learning, especially with the 
 works of the great model of Roman 
 eloquence. To all institutions pro- 
 moting literary cultivation he was an 
 ardent friend, and especially to the 
 Lit. and His. Soc. (Que.) He*^ exerted 
 himself with great zeal to forward the 
 Transactions of that body, and found 
 the means from the Legislature which 
 enabled it to publish several original 
 documents, procured from various 
 quartei-s in Europe and Am., illustra- 
 tive of the previous history of Can.

 " It gives an able summary of the Acts 
 passed by the House — their political bias and 
 tentfency, and contains a defence of the 
 Legislative Council, in the rejection of the 
 system proposed by the Lower House in 
 1836. The talents, influence, and high public 
 character of Mr. Stuart are well known in 
 Canada, and the impress of his mind has been 
 deeply written in the public policy and his- 
 tory of the Lower Province. His powers were 
 great and commanding. This work on 
 Education, and a work published by him on 
 the sound principles of a Colonial Govern- 
 ment, entitled ' A Beview of the Proceedings 
 of the Legislature of Lower Canada in 183i,' 
 indicated a classical and profound mind. He 
 died amid the universal regret of his brother 
 members of the bar and of his friends — his 
 grave is yet uncovered, but it is still expected 
 that his memory will be honoured and 
 enshrined by some public monument. By 
 rewards of this kind the patriotic dead impart

 Has contributed very materially to-

 rature generally, which has been noti- 
 ceable of late years among his country- 
 men. Was founder and President of

 flourishing association in his native 
 city. Mr. S. has been a writer of verse 
 and poetry to most of the principal 
 French Can. newspapers and periodi- 
 cals, notably to the Revue Canadienne ; 
 the Journal de V Instruction Publiquc ; and 
 the Echo du Cabinet de Lecture Paroissiale., 
 all published in Montreal. His style 
 is simple, natural and graceful, redo- 
 lent of a thousand sources of thought 
 and inspiration, and is clear and intel- 
 ligible to all minds. He will occupy 
 a high place among the gifted sons of 
 song of his country. We understand 
 that he is preparing a volume of poems 
 for early publication. It is probable 
 that he will also shortly publish a 
 prose work of historical importance 
 on Three Rivers and its Environs, up- 
 on which he has been for some time 
 engaged. Since the summer of 1860, 
 Mr. S. has been editor of Lc Canada,

 " The zealous and talented author of this 
 work deserves the gratitude of his fellow- 
 countrymen if ever man deserved it. For the 
 
 last three years his efforts to promote the 
 efficiency of the volunteer force, to foster a 
 military spirit among the young men of his 
 district, and to instruct them in their duties 
 should they be called upon to defend their 
 country, have been unceasing. Not content 
 with the strict discharge of his official duties 
 alone, he has devoted his leisure hours to 
 the task of military instruction in every pos- 
 sible maimer in which it could be conveyed. 
 One of the fruits of his labors has been the 
 publication, in the French language, of a 
 series of valuable works such as the volun- 
 teer rifle drill-book, the table of company 
 movements, the talile of battalion move- 
 ments, the hand-book of infantry evolutions, 
 etc. The last work from Major Suzor's pen 
 has just been issued from the press, under 
 the title of " Code Militaire." It is in eveiy 
 respect a credit to the writer, and calculated 
 to be extremely ixseful to officers either of 
 the Volunteer or Service Militia who wish to 
 attain a thorough knowledge of the routine 
 duties which they will have to perform if 
 called out for service. * * , * * 
 
 " The work contains full information as to 
 internal economy, regulations, clothing and 
 arms of a regiment — pay, extra allowances, 
 regimental rank, pensions, penalties and 
 punishments, medals and marks of distinc- 
 tion, courts-martial, barrack regulations, 
 good conduct rewards, &c., &c. There are, 
 moreover, forms of monthly and weekly and 
 other reports, forms of regimental books, 
 &c. In fact every department of military 
 routine and responsibility is fully explained 
 and illustrated. There is also a series of 
 musketry instructions, divided into eight 
 lessons, with directions for ' sighting,' and 
 a summary of the new regulations for target 
 practice — besides a few chajiters on the 
 sword exercise." — Chronicle (Que.)

 is very common in the Parisian political pam-

 " Biography, under the most favorable cir- 
 cumstances, refjuires no ordinarj' tact and 
 ability. But the difliculties are greatly en- 
 hanced when living contemporaries are the 
 subjects; more especially, when the writer 
 is one i>ersonally known to and in almost 
 daily contact with most of the individuals 
 whose characters he has to delineate. Over 
 and above these lets and hindrances in the 
 path of the author of contemporary biogra- 
 phy is another, which the editor himself spe- 
 cially notices, the difficulty of treating fairly, 
 or rather pronouncing judgment safely on, 
 an incomplete career. The Grecian sage 
 declined to answer the question of the Per- 
 sian King, as to whether he thought him en- 
 titled to be called ' happy.' The ques- 
 tioner, the wealthy Croesus, was surrounded 
 by every thing which could render life en- 
 joyable ; but the wise man declared himself 
 imable to answer the query because the in- 
 t<^rrogator was still living, and until * the end, ' 
 no safe opinion could be given. Mr. Taylor 
 cannot imitate the prudent reticence of the 
 sage ; he is compelled to pass judgment 
 without waiting for the end. We cannot won- 
 der, therefore, that the Editor approached 
 his task with some little hesitancy. He 
 very possibly recalled to mind the warn- 
 ing of Horace to this accomplished friend 
 PoUio, when the latter was entering upon a 
 not dissimilar literary enterprise.

 " When we remember the many pitfalls 
 which beset the editor's path : that the ground 
 on which l*e moves is treacherous ground, 
 which craves war\' walking on his part : we 
 think we may congratulate him on the ease 
 and freedom with which he treads. • • • 
 
 ■• The sketches are necessarily and proi>erly 
 ver>- brief. But the editor has happily selec- 
 ted and graphically poui-trayed, in each case, 
 the chai-acteristic and salient features. So 
 far as he has yet gone, the Editor has admi- 
 rably succeeded, in following the via media 
 which he sought to attain : The sketches 
 before us being '• free alike from extravagant 
 eulogy on the one hand, and fi-om cynical ill- 
 nature on the other.'' Under the circum- 
 stances, the former danger was perliaps more 
 likely to be feared than the latter. But of 
 both the Editor has happily steered clear. * *

 Ed. at the Seminary of his native city, 
 where he acquired a thorough know- 
 ledge of classics and bcUcs lettres; he 
 afterwards became acquainted with 
 several modern languages. Com- 
 menced his studies for the medical 
 profession under Dr. Von Iffland (Que.,) 
 and concluded them in N. Y., where 
 he received his degree. He was ad- 
 mitted a mem. of the profession in 
 Can. on his return to the Province in 
 1823. At that time he established the 
 first medical serial publication ever 
 attempted in Can. Le Journal de MMecine 
 de QiUbcc, which was continued for 3 
 years, but failed from the usual cause, 
 want of support. Le Journal was pub- 
 lished in both languages and was emi- 
 nently useful in its day ; in its pages 
 are to be found many contributions on 
 Medical Science from the pen of its 
 chief ed., who brought to his chosen 
 task talents of a very high order, and 
 an industry- and application to further 
 the interests and raise the standard of 
 his i)eriodical very rarely to be found 
 in one so young. In 182fe he left Can. 
 to take up his residence in N. Y. ; here 
 in addition to the translation of Begin's 
 large medical work, he contributed 
 occasionally to the Morning Courier and 
 Enquirer ; he also issued the prospectus 
 of a Journal des Sciences Naturclles de 
 FAmerique which, however, from some 
 cause unknown to us never appeared. 
 He was a mem. of the Medical Soc. of 
 N. Y., of that of Massachusetts and an 
 honoi-ary mem. of the Am. Institute. 
 Returning again to his native country 
 in 1829, he was appointed Health Offi- 
 cer of the Port of Quebec, a position 
 which he only held for a few years, 
 owing to some political animosity 
 which he had incurred. From 1833 
 
 up to the period of his early and 
 lamented death, he served as a mem. 
 of the Le^. Assem. He was the founder 
 of the Medical Soc. (Que.) He also con- 
 tributed in a great measure towards the 
 formation of the Soc. des Sciences et des 
 Arts en Canada., of which for some years 
 he was general secy.

 that city a small paper, called The 
 Settler, of which he was chief ed., aided 
 by some members of the " Beefsteak 
 C/h5, "which then existed there, of 
 whom the late Mr. C.J. Grant was one. 
 He studied law with that gentleman, 
 and in 1837, or thereabouts, was ad- 
 mitted to the Bar. Throughout the 
 Rebellion of 1837-8, Mr. T. ed. the 
 Herald, (Mont.) and apart from the 
 leading ed. articles was a contribu- 
 tor to that paper of many political 
 essays, under one or other of the 
 pseudonyms : — " Camillus" " Drittani- 
 cus" '■'■Anti-Bureaucrat^^ &c., or with 
 the letters " com.'" (corrvmunicated) at 
 the end. The most remarkable of these 
 were the letters signed '•'•Camillus,'' 
 addressed to the P]arl of Gosford, 
 then Gov. Genl. They were after- 
 wards published in a small volume, 
 with the author's name on the 
 title-page. Shortly after the arrival 
 of the Earl of Durham in Can. as Lord 
 High Commissioner, Mr. T. was added 
 to the literary staff of his lordship, 
 and proved most efficient. We be- 
 lieve that he was the author of a large 
 portion of the celebrated report of 
 Lord Durham on the state of Can. 
 He was one of the earliest advocates of a 
 Confederation of all the B. N. A. Pro- 
 vinces. In 1837 he was appointed 
 Recorder of Rupert's Land, and took 
 up his residence at Red River Settle- 
 ment, where he remained until he 
 resigned his appointment in the spring 
 of 1855. Since then he has resided in 
 Eng. In addition to his other literary 
 performances, we understand Dr. T. 
 wrote the larger part of Sir George 
 Simpson's Voyage Round the World.

 "More than twenty-five years ago, when 
 in the service of the House of Assembly of 
 Upper Canada, as an assistant in the Provin- 
 cial Library, I was induced to compile a 
 Manual of Parliamentary Practice for the 
 use of the Legislature. The valuable trea- 
 tise of Mr. May, on the ' Usage of Parlia- 
 ment,' had not then appeared ; and no work 
 then published was sufficiently elementary 
 and comprehensive to be of any service to 
 our colonial legislators in the performance of 
 their parliamentary duties. My little vo- 
 lume, although the crude and imperfect 
 production of a very young man, was re- 
 ceived with much favour by the Canadian 
 Parliament. At the first meeting of the Le- 
 gislature of United Canada, in 1841, the book 
 was formally adopted for the use of the 
 members, and the cost of its production 
 defrayed out of the public funds. 
 
 " It was in the same year, and immediately 
 after the union of the two Canadas, that 
 ' Eesponsible Government ' was first applied 
 to our colonial Constitution. In carrying out 
 this new, and hitherto untried, scheme of 
 colonial government, many difficult and 
 complex questions arose, especially in regard 
 to the relations which should subsist between 
 the popular chamber and the ministers of 
 the Crown. Upon these questions, my known, 
 addiction to parliamentary studies, together 
 with my official position as one of the libra- 
 rians of the Legislative Assembly, caused me 
 to be frequently consulted. I speedily be- 
 came aware that then, as now, no work pre- 
 viously written on the British Constitution 
 undertook to supply the particular informa- 
 tions required to elucidate the working of 
 ' resi^onsible ' or 'parliamentary' govern- 
 ment. For all preceding writers on this 
 subject have confined themselves to the pre- 
 sentation of an outside view, or general out- 
 line, of the political system of England. 
 There is nowhere to be found a practical

 treatment of the questions involved in the 
 mutual relations between the Crown and 
 Parliament, or any adequate account of the 
 growth, development, and present functions 
 of Cabinet CounciL In the words of Lord 
 Macaulay (History of England, iv. 437), * no 
 writer has yet attempted to trace the pro- 
 gress of this institution, an institution indis- 
 pensible to the harmonious working of our 
 other institutions.' 
 
 '•My own researches in this field enabled 
 me to accumulate a mass of information 
 which has proved of much utility in the 
 setrtement of many points arising out of 
 responsible government. I was frequently 
 urged, by persons whose opinions were enti- 
 tled to respect, to digest and arrange my 
 collections in a methodical shape. The fact 
 that the greater part of my notes had been 
 collected when engaged in the investigation 
 of questions not of mere local or temporary 
 significance, but capable of general applica- 
 tion, led me to think, that if the result were 
 embodied in the form of a treatise on par- 
 liamentary government as administered in 
 Great Britain, it might prove of practical 
 value both in England and her colonies ; 
 and that in the constitutional states of con- 
 tinental Europe, it might serve to make 
 more clearly known the peculiar features of 
 that foi-m of government, which has been so 
 often admired, but never successfully imi- 
 tated. I therefore determined to avail m}'- 
 self of the resources of the well stored 
 libraiy under my charge, and attempt the 
 compilation of a work wliich, while trench- 
 ing as little as possible on ground already 
 worthily occupied bj- former writers, should 
 aim at supplying information uj)on branches 
 of constitutional knowledge hitherto over- 
 looked." — Author s Preface. 
 
 '*It is a remai-kable circumstance that we 
 should be indebted to a resident in a distant 
 colony, the librarian of the Canadian House 
 of Parliament, for one of the most useful 
 and complete books which has ever appeared 
 on the practical operation of the British 
 Constitution. The colonies have not hitherto 
 added much to the Uterary wealth of the 
 Empire, though they are continually extend- 
 ing the range of our political experience. 
 But a work like this, which has been under- 
 taken and perfected by Mr. Todd, pi-oves 
 with what nice and eager attention the more 
 cultivated minds in the colonies watch everj- 
 movement of opinion and every inflection 
 of the great parhamentary engine in the 
 mother country. Without any claim to the 
 philosophic depth of HaUam, or the per- 
 sonal authoritj- of Sii- Thomas May in treating 
 of the law of Parliament, Mr. Todd contents 
 himself with the humbler, but not less ser- 
 viceable, task of collecting and enregistering 
 all that has been said and done by the best 
 authorities and the latest decisions on the 
 
 practice of the Constitution. His aim ha« 
 been, not to exjilore the stream to its sourct- 
 in medifpval antiquity, but to place in th.j 
 hands of the pubhc a compendium of its 
 most recent applications. Tlie precedents 
 he cites do not extend beyond the reign of 
 George III : the opinions on which he relies 
 are chieflj' those of the statesmen and writers 
 of our own time. We ourselves are bound 
 to look with gratitude on his labours, for he 
 has succeeded in distilling the essence of 
 Whig principles from the pages of tliis jour- 
 nal, and in digesting a multitude of scattered 
 propositions throwTi out at various time? in 
 the course of our political discussions. The 
 late .^r George Lewis, the present Earl 
 Grey, and the late Professor Austin (in his 
 ' Pl€<i for the Constitution'') are the thi-ee 
 writers to whom Mr. Todd is most largel 
 indebted for the piinciples of his work. H. 
 could have chosen no better guides, for in 
 these men the most sincere attachment to 
 the cause of liberty and progress is ever 
 united to a fearless moderation, and none of 
 them would have sacrificed one jot of his 
 poUtical convictions to the adventitious re- 
 wards of pubUc life. Mr. Todd probably 
 knew nothing personally of these eminent 
 men, and his sphere of action lies far apart 
 from theirs. It is therefore with the greater 
 satisfaction that we see their opinions and 
 example operating beyond the Atlantic, and 
 reflected back upon ourselves from the Ame- 
 rican side of the Empire. We trust the 
 publication of so sensible a book by a Cana- 
 dian gentleman, at this time, may be propi- 
 tious to the constitutional welfare of the 
 Great Northern Confederation now about to 
 be inaugurated vdth the cordial good wishes 
 of the British people : and we hope that the 
 future statesmen of that nation will never for- 
 get that if their independence is to be main- 
 tained, it will be by conti-asting the prin- 
 cijjles of British ParUamentarj- Government 
 in Canada with the purely republican and 
 democratic institutions of the United States." " 
 Edin. Bee. 
 
 " For those who are more interested in the 
 practice than in the principles of parlia- 
 mentary government, the work of Mr. Al- 
 pheus Todd will be full of interesting matter. 
 Originating as it did in a collection of par- 
 4 hamentan," precedents made by him in his 
 oflicial capacity, it has grown up to be the 
 most complete treatise extant on the limits 
 and extent of the royal prerogative, and on 
 the theory and practice of parliamentary 
 privilege. As a work of reference it is most 
 valuable for every practical politician or 
 writer on poHtical questions. The author 
 having been brought up under the uncon- 
 trolled influence of a democratic state of 
 society, longs, as we all do, for a state of 
 things with which we are not sufficiently 
 familiar rightly to appreciate, and expands 
 
I

 ■ veiy naturally upon the value of every check 
 to the growing influence of the democratic 
 element in English society. This, however, 
 in no way detracts from the value of his 
 books, for whatever his predilections, his 
 subject hardly admitted of a partial treat- 
 ment : and his copious references to original 
 authorities gives the means to all his readers 
 of pursuing the enquiries with which he has 
 occupied himself to such good purpose." — 
 West. Itev. 
 
 '' Mr. Todd is the Librarian of the Legis- 
 lative Assembly of Canada, and having for 
 upwards of five-and twenty years had occa- 
 sion both to study constitutional practice 
 and to give advice in points of procedure to 
 practical legislators, he has undertaken a 
 work upon parliamentary government, the 
 first -volume of wliich is now before us. At 
 first sight there appears a certain boldness 
 in the notion of one whose experience is 
 exclusively colonial venturing to instruct 
 people at home in the nature and scope of 
 the system by which they are governed. But 
 Mr. Todd has kept himself so accurately 
 informed of all that is said and done in the 
 Mother Country, he has so diligently read 
 everything that has been written here at all 
 likely to throw light on his subject, that 
 nobody will detect the least colonial or pro- 
 vincial flavour in liis book. Mr. Beales will 
 find in these pages that his has already be- 
 come an historic name, for though it was as 
 recently as last August that the Lord Chief 
 Justice declined to re appoint him as revising 
 Barrister, Mr. Todd has immortalized him 
 as an illustration of the * well understood 
 rule of constitutional government, that all 
 such functionaries should abstain from taking 
 an active part in political contests.' The 
 Oolenso case, the retirement of Lord Chief 
 Justice Lefroy, the Edmunds or Westbury 
 case, and even Mr. D'Israeli's remarks on the 
 supplementaiy Budget of last year, are all 
 duly recorded in their i:>laceg. Even the pro- 
 visions of last year's Act for consolidating 
 the duties of the Exchequer and Audit De- 
 partments are all set forth. Nobody need 
 fear, therefore, that in buying Mr. Todd's 
 book he is getting anything stale or obsolete. 
 On the contrary, he may refer to it with 
 perfect confidence of finding the last prece- 
 dent and the newest illustration. The fact 
 that the book was not written at home 
 proves, in some respects, ati advantage. It 
 would be difficult to most of us, in the time 
 of strong political passion, to write upon 
 Government with the serenity or impartiality 
 requisite above all things in the composition 
 of a text book. • * * If the second 
 half is as well done as the volume before us, 
 the entire work will be a most valuable addi- 
 tion to our constitutional literature." — Sat. 
 Eev. (Lon).

 TowNLEY, Rev. Adam, D. D. A Ch. of 
 Eng. clergym. (Paris, U. C.) As early 
 as 1837 Dr. T. contributed to the reli- 
 giousand secular press of the Province. 
 He also wrote irequontly for the Church- 
 man (N. Y.,) and was a regular contri- 
 butor to the Church newspaper (Tor.) 
 In 1813 a series of 7 dialogues appeared 
 in the latter called : Reasons for Return- 
 ing to the Catholic Church of England., 
 which at their termination drew from 
 the Ed. the following remarks : 
 
 " The conversations between Mr. Seeker 
 and Mr. Brown are brought to a close in this 
 number, and those who have read them 
 through, we think, will pronounce them the 
 most clear and minute exposure of the evils 
 and schismatical character of the methodist 
 system which they have ever met. We part 
 from tlie excellent and able writer with 
 regret, in the hope, however, that his plain 
 and forcible logic will soon be exercised upon 
 some other interesting and important sub- 
 ject." 
 
 In 1862 he contributed a series of 
 letters to the Leader (Tor.,) addi'essed to 
 the Gov.Genl., on the Principles Involved 
 in the Connection between Canada and 
 England. Dr. T. in conjunction with 
 the Revs. Messrs. Dewar and Darling,

 ioners have also been published sepa-

 tribution of the honours of a certain 
 Univ. in U. C, a correspondent to a

 " But the most industrious and powerful 
 of our clerical writers — Dr. Townley, of 
 Paris — was left out. Although he has written 
 and published on ethics and on the school 
 question, and always been ready with his

 was the first of her sistei-s to commence 
 writing. When only 16 years of age 
 she wrote a series of juvenile books, 
 which were brought out by Harris of 
 St. Pauls Churchyard, (Lon.) and ap- 
 peared without her name. These were 
 so well received by the public and 
 « proved so remunerative to their author 
 that she continued in the same depart- 
 ment of literature for many years, 
 Darton the Quaker and other juvenile 
 publishers bringing out her works. 
 In 1832 she married Lieut. Traill of 
 the Scotch Fusiliers, shortly after- 
 wards emigrated with her husband to 
 Can. and settled near Rice Lake in the 
 Upper l^rovince. Here she wrote and 
 prepared most of the works which have

 Gleanings^ illustrative of Life in the Bach- 
 woods'' to Sharpens London Mag.^ Cham- 
 bers Journal (old series) and the Anglo 
 Am. Mag. (Tor.) Those with others in

 to some Scottish religious magazines. 
 For the Acadian Recorder, Nova^Scotian, 
 
 Presbyterian Banner., Eastern Chronicle

 Upham, Hon. Charles Wentworth. An 
 Am. author and statesman. B. at St. 
 John, N. B., 4 May, 1802. Is the son 
 of the late Hon. Joshua Upham, Judge 
 of the Supreme Court of N. B. His 
 early years were passed partly in what 
 is now the parish of Upham and partly 
 in Sussex Vale, on the banks of the 
 Kennebecasis in that Province. When 
 about 8 years of age was placed in the 
 Latin Sch. at St. John. Leaving that 
 institution, his father having died, he 
 was placed in an apothecary's store, 
 where, for some time, he was employed 
 in preparing medicines, going through 
 the entire Edinburgh Materia Medica, 
 and waiting as an attendant upon the 
 proprietor, who was a physician and 
 
 surgeon in extensive private practice 
 and in charge of hospitals. The death 
 of the physician broke up the establish- 
 ment, and young U. was then placed 
 on a farm in N. S., in the valley of the 
 Annapolis, where he performed the 
 work of which a lad of his years is capa- 
 ble. On 14June,18IG, he left that Pro- 
 vince, without any companion for the 
 trip, and, crossing the Bay of Fundy 
 to St. John, made his way to Eastport, 
 then in the possession. of the Brit., and 
 from point to point along the coast to 
 Boston, were he arrived on the 27th of 
 the same month. A benevolent rela- 
 tion took him into hns family and sent 
 him to a private sch., whence he en- 
 tered Harvard Coll. in 1817, and 
 received the degrees of B. A., and 
 M. A., in 1821 and 1824, respectively. 
 During his coll. course he taught sch. 
 at dilferent places. After spending the 
 usual time in preparatory studies at 
 the Cambridge Theological Sch., Mr. 
 U., in 1824, was ordained colleague 
 pastor of the First Ch., Salem, Mass. 
 He resigned the pastoral office in 1844, 
 owing to a severe and long continued 
 bronchitis, which prevented the use of 
 his voice in public delivery for 2 or 3 
 years. He still, however, continues 
 to reside at Salem. The above is taken 
 nearly altogether from DuyckincWs Am. 
 Literature, and we are indebted to the 
 the same excellent work for what 
 follows : 
 
 " From Aug., 1851, to Aug., 1852, he was . 
 employed, in the service of the Board of 
 Education of Massachusetts, and visited the 
 Schools, addressing the people in public 
 assemblies in furtherance of that cause, in 
 more than a hundred towns. In 1852, he 
 was elected Mayor of Salem, and during his 
 administration reorganized the police, intro- 
 ducing the system upon which it has since 
 operated, efficiently, and also secured the 
 requisite appropriations and arrangements 
 for the establishment of a State Noi'mal 
 School in that City. He was a member of 
 the House of Kepresentatives of Massa- 
 chussettsinl849, 1859 and 1860. He reported 
 and carried the measures that made educa- 
 tion a regular department of the State 
 Government, with permanent accommoda-

 tions within the walls of the State House. 
 He was a member of the State Senate in 1850, 
 1857 and 1858, and chosen president of that 
 body, by unanimous election in each instance, 
 the two last named years. His efforts in the 
 State Legislature were chiefly directed to the 
 interests of education in the district and 
 high schools, and the endowment of colleges, 
 and to the improvement of the language of 
 the statute Law of the conunonweath. He 
 was a member of the Massachusetts Constitu- 
 tional convention in 1853. 
 
 " He represented the sixth district of 
 Massachusetts in the Thirty-third Congress 
 of the United States, from 1853 to 1855. He 
 was chaii-man of a select committee raised to 
 investigate the affairs and condition of the 
 Smithsonian Institute, and in an elaborate 
 report advocated the pohcy of making it the 
 foundation of a librar)'. on a scale to which 
 its means are fuUy adequate, worthy of a 
 nation already aclmowledged as a first rate 
 power in the world, and whose strength and 
 glory are in the diffusion of universal know- 
 ledge among all its people. 
 ** Mr. Upham's poUtical hfe was distinguished 
 by the utmost fidehty to those interests of 
 his constituents, whether public or private, 
 for which they had any claim on his atten- 
 tion. His course, moreover, was marked by 
 several important sei'vices of a more general 
 nature, and some of national bearing and 
 utihty." 
 
 During the ministry of Mr. U., in 
 Salem, he published a. considerable 
 variety of discourses and tracts, and 
 from early life to the present time has 
 been a frequent contributor to perio- 
 dical works, in literature and theology, 
 as well as to the newspapers. He ed. 
 the Christian Register, from 1845 to 
 1846. His chief contributions to pe- 
 riodical literature have appeared in 
 the N. A. Review, Christian Examiner^ 
 Hunt's Merchant's Mag.^ and the National 
 Portrait Gallery. We have not space 
 to give the titles of the large number 
 of tracts, speeches, orations, sermons, 
 and legislative reports which have 
 emanated from his pen, and think it 
 best to enumerate only his chief 
 works : 
 
 I. Letters on the Logos. Boston^ 
 1828, pp. 215, 12mo. 
 
 " The design of this volume was to show 
 that the true meaning of 'the Word,' in 
 the fii-st chapter of the Gospel of John and 
 in the New Testament Scriptures generally, 
 is to be found, not in Platonizing writings of 
 a later period, but in the hteratm-e and 
 usages of language of the Jews themselves at 
 that time. This work was considered a va- 
 
 luable contribution to theological literature 
 by learned men of the author's denomina- 
 tion. ' ' — DrvcKixcK.

 *' Independently of its bearing upon the 
 Presidential election, the book has a per- 
 manent worth, at once as affording a fresh 
 example of the success that waits on perse- 
 vering endeavor, and as giving wide cmrency 
 to a chapter of our cotuitrj^'s history, which 
 has to-day an importance that Fremont 
 himself can hardly have imagined when he 
 accmnulated the materials for it." — N. A.

 Ure. G. p. a Can. journ. B. in Scot. 
 D. at Montreal 22 Aug. 1860. Prior to 
 emigrating from his native land he 
 was connected with the North British 
 Mail., and other Scottish journals. On 
 arriving in Can. he joined the staff of 
 the North American., and subsequently 
 that of the Globe (Tor.) He established 
 the Family Herald in the same city, 
 which however was discontinued for 
 want of support. For a year prior to 
 his death he ed. a literary weekly of 
 the same name, published in Montreal 
 by Mr. Lovell. He also contributed 
 articles on moral and political subjects 
 to other Can. journals. As an advo- 
 cate of Temperance reform he lent 
 great assistance to the cause in Can. 
 He was a man of good education, 
 much energy, but little originality.

 ViNNiNG, Miss Pamelia S. A Can. poet. 
 Is a teacher in the Can. Literary Insti- 
 stute, Woodstock, U. C. Has written 
 a very large number of poems, both 
 sacred and secular. Her first pieces 
 appeared in the Lilcrar^xj Miscellany, 
 (Detroit,) for which, and the Ecangel- 
 ical Witness, (London, C. W.,) she wrote 
 for some time, above the nom de plume 
 of Emillia. She afterwards became a 
 regular contributor to the U. S. Mag., 
 which was merged in Emerson's Mag., 
 secondly in Emerson's & Putnam's Mag., 
 and lastly, for several years, in the Great 
 Republic Monthly. Among her humour- 
 ous poems in the latter periodical are 
 
 " Uncle Sams Fourth of July Oration,'" 
 " The Live Yankee," &c. Her graver 
 poems, however, attracted more notice. 
 Miss V. was also a contributor for 
 some time to the Ladies' Repository, 
 (Cincinnati,) and to the religious and 
 literary periodicals in the West. Dur- 
 ing the existence of the Can. Illustrated 
 News, (Ham.,) she wrote frequently 
 for its pages. Most of her productions 
 have been written in Can., and the 
 subjects relate to Can. life and expe- 
 rience. It is understood that she is 
 preparing a collection of the best of 
 her pieces for publication in book- 
 form. 
 
 " There is no Canadian poet whose poetry 
 we have read, and re. read, with greater inte- 
 rest and delight than Miss Vining's. This 
 piece ( Under the Snoic) is no ordinary pro- 
 duction. It contains beautiful imagery ; a 
 sound and elevated philosophy of suffering ; 
 great depth and tenderness of feeling ; and 
 a rich and exquisite rhythmic music, that 
 lingers in the chambers of the brain, like the 
 memory of a speechless joy."' — Dewai{t.

 time of Lord Durham's mission. He also 
 essays to give a definition of the various 
 views of ' responsible government,' enter- 
 tained by different parties at home and in

 WAU 
 
 in KG. la 1810 was admitted to the 
 bar, and speedily attained a high posi- 
 tion in his profession, in the practice of 
 which he displayed great energy and 
 more than ordinary ability. He was 
 also remarkable for the fluency of his 
 speech and the retentiveuess of his 
 memory. He was considered one of 
 the first commercial lawyers in Can, 
 He ed. the Courier (Mont.) for some 
 yeai-s. In 1835 Mr. W., together with 
 Mr. John Neilson, was appd., by the 
 Brit. Constitutional party of L. C., as 
 delegates to proceed to Eng. in order 
 to lay the grievances of that important 
 section of the people before the Impe- 
 rial authorities. This service was per- 
 formed with great address and ability. 
 He sat in the Leg. Assem. for a short 
 time after the Union. During the 
 Sydenham administration he ed. the 
 Times (Mont.) Although a man of 
 refined literary taste he has left no 
 work behind him. The most lengthy 
 of his public labours as a writer is the 
 report of his mission to Eng.

 were very favourably received. Some 
 of his jueces have also appeared in

 wrote for the Gospel Tribune (Tor.) and 
 for several other journals, and for 2 
 years had the literary management of 
 the Home Journal (St. Thomas,) where he 
 resides. Mr. W. contemplates shortly 
 bringing out a volume of poems. 
 
 Waller, Jocelvn. A Can. journ. B. in 
 Irel. Was the son of an Irish baronet. 
 D. at Montreal, 2 Dec, 1828. He was 
 a well educated and very able man ; 
 but. unfortunately for him, his politics 
 in Irel. did not harmonize with those 
 of his truly loyal family, who. on that 
 account alone, all but repudiated him. 
 Came to Can. in 1820. In this country 
 he became, with his countrymen Drs. 
 OCallaghan and Tracy, linked in poli- 
 tics with the Papineau party, which, 
 by way of shewing its gratitude for his 
 arduous and faithful services, allowed 
 him, almost literally to starve to death. 
 His first connection with the Can. press 
 
 commenced in 1822 as a writer for the 
 Gazette (Mont.,) from which, however, 
 he soon retired. At the time that the 
 first bill was originated for the union 
 of the two provinces, he was selected 
 by the French Canadians, who were 
 oppo^d to the measure, to ed. the Cana- 
 dian Spectator^ a paper which they had 
 established in order to defend th6ir 
 position towards the Eng. population. 
 This service he zealously and ably per- 
 formed. In spite of the efforts of the 
 union ji^i'ly he succeeded in forming 
 a party amongst the Eng., who joined 
 the Canadians in resisting the projected 
 union. In effecting this he incurred 
 the displeasure and ill-will of the Govt, 
 of the day, was imprisoned, and under- 
 went several pohtical suits, from out of 
 which he came victorious.

 flinching advocates of Brit, supremacy,

 of the connexion with the mother 
 country, and in deprecating the foul

 Wells, William Benjamin. At one time 
 a Can, journ ; now Judge of the Go. 
 Kent, U.C. B. in the Tp. of Augusta, 
 Co. Grenville, U. C, 3 Oct. 1809. His 
 grandfather was a volunteer under Sir 
 W. Pepperell at the taking of Louis- 
 bourg. His father and mother migra- 
 ted from New Hampshire to U. C. in 
 1786. He was ed. at the Augusta 
 Grammar Sch. under Dr Bethune, 
 present Dean of Montreal, assisted 
 Idv Dr. A. N. Bethune, present coad- 
 jutor Bish. of Toronto, and afterwards 
 at Quebec and in the U. S. In 1833 he 
 was called to the Bar of U. C. He 
 established the Ffl»,7uarrf(Prescott) in 
 the Reform interest, and thenceforth 
 took an active part in Politics. From 
 about 1834 to 1837, he was a mom. of , 
 the Legislature of U. C, and both in j 
 Parliament and in the press, was a 
 strong and earnest opponent of Sir , 
 F. B. Head. During this time, in , 
 addition to the ed. management of ! 
 his own paper, he contributed to all 
 the leading journals in the Upper 
 Province on political subjects, amongst 
 others to the Brockville Beconlcr, the j 
 Grenville Gazette, the Cobourg Re for- \ 
 mer, the Kingston Spectator, and the ' 
 Chronicle and Gazette of the same city, 
 the U. C. Herald, the Colonial Advocate, the 
 Correspondent & Gazette, the Montreal 
 Advertiser and the Courier, and also to 
 the N. Y. Tribune. After the dissolution 
 of Parliament by Sir F. B. Head, Mr. 
 W. taking exception to the manner in 
 w^hich the elections had been carried 
 by the oligarchical party, refused to 
 take his seat, and together with Messrs. 
 Baldwin and Duncombe proceeded to 
 Eng. to enter a protest against the 
 administration of the lieut.gov. There 
 he remained for upwards of a year 
 after the departure for home of his col- 
 leagues, during which period he wrote 
 and published his book on the aliairs 
 
 of the Upper Province, which was 
 favourably noticed in the Examiner, 
 (Lon.) He wms also a contributor to 
 the Constitutionalist, ed. by the late 
 Laman Blanchard, and carried on in 
 the same paper a controversy with Dr. 
 Ryerson, who came out as the defen- 
 der of Sir F. B. Head. The correspon- 
 dence between these two gentlemen 
 if reproduced at the present day 
 would certainly be looked upon as a 
 literary curiosity in its way. Mr. W. 
 having" continued in his refusal to 
 take his seat in Parliament, it was, 
 during the stirring events of 1837, 
 declared to be vacant. In 1850 he 
 was appointed Judge of Kent and 
 Lambton, and afterwards on the disu- 
 nion of those counties, of Kent alone. 
 Judge W. was a contributor to Barker's 
 Marj. (Kings) ; he was also a sporting 
 contributor under the nom de plume 
 of " Cinna'' to Wilkes' Spirit of the Times

 work affords considerable information con-

 " Our author's second journal contains a 
 brief narrative of his mission to the Indians 
 in New-Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and the 
 remnant of the Mohawk tribe in Upper 
 Canada, under the direction of the New 
 England Company, which was incorporated 
 in the reign of Charles the Second. It con-

 fm-ther extracts. We accordingly take leave 
 of him here not however without rendering 
 him due acknowledgment for the entertain- 
 ment his work has afforded us, which we 
 have great satisfaction in recommending to 
 the perusal of our readers. It relates to 
 portions of our country less explored than

 "WiLBY, John Robin. An East India 
 Journ. Was a native of Can. D. in 
 India, 1857. When a very young man 
 he suffered from weakness of the eyes, 
 and the doctors advised that the only 
 way to prevent the loss of sight was to 
 have recourse to a long sea voyage. 
 His friends could not well afford to pay 
 for his passage, so he enlisted as a 
 common sailor, and arrived in India in 
 that capacity. Having obtained his 
 discharge from the ship, he remained 
 in Calcutta, a stranger in a strange 
 land, in search of adventure and for- 
 tune. Mr. W. tried his hand alternate- 
 ly as reader, reporter and contributor, 
 in connection with the Calcutta press; 
 but it was not long before he was taken 
 on the ed. staff of the Hurkaru, 
 where he distinguished himself by 
 writing some of the ablest and most 
 telling articles that appeared in that 
 print. On leaving the Ilurkaru press, 
 Mr. W., in conjunction with the then 
 Ed. of the Calcutta Phxnix, set up 
 the Bengal Times, the name of which 
 w^as afterwards changed to the Citizen. 
 The connexion, however, did not last 
 long, as Mr. W. received the offer of a 
 handsome engagement with the Mofus- 
 sulite, and accepted it. He afterwards 
 had ed. charge of the Delhi Gazette, 
 and conducted that journal with an 
 ability which was publicly acknow- 
 ledged by the managing proprietor, on 
 Mr. W's vacating the ed. chair. 
 He next joined the Lahore Chronicle, 
 and only a short time previous to his 
 death, returned to Bengal to take his 
 place on the staff of the Friend of India. 
 He was a young man of extensive read- 
 ing and varied information. There 
 was scarcely a department of philology 
 
 or the sciences in regard to which be 
 was altogether ignorant. His Unguis- 
 tical and scientific attainments were 
 pretty nearly on a par, a combination, 
 not always to be met with. Above all 
 as a public writer, Mr. W. was one of 
 the boldest and most thoroughly honest 
 that the Indian press ever possessed.

 WiLKiNS, Miss Harriet Annie. A Can. 
 X>oet. Better known by her christian 
 names, '• Harriet Annie" they being 
 generally appended to her contribu 
 tions to the press. Miss W. is the 
 daughter of the late Rev. John 
 Wilkins, (Ham..) and grand-daughter 
 of the Rev. Dr. David Francis, an 
 eminent classical scholar. The power 
 of expressing her thoughts in verse 
 was possessed by her when quite a 
 child. Most of the pieces contained 
 in her first volume were written before 
 she had reached her 14th year, when 
 she, with her father, were Uving in the 
 State of Ohio. While there she was 
 
 a contributor to the Ohio Observer, a 
 religious' journal, which was ed. bv 
 the Faculty of Hudson Coll. After the 
 removal of her father to Can. " Har- 
 riet Annie '" transferred the productions 
 of her pen, at the solicitation of the late 
 Mr. Smiley, to the pages of the Hamilton 
 Spectator, of which he was ed. and prop. 
 To that paper she has since been a 
 steady contributor. She has written 
 for many other Can. newspapers. 
 With reference to one of her pieces, 
 ''Buried with Music" the Advertiser, 
 (Mont..) said : 
 
 '• The city of Hamilton boasts of a poet, or 
 rather poetess, of which it ought to be proud. 
 We give in another column one of her later 
 efinsions ''■ Bui'ied with Music'" which has the 
 right ring, and it is worth moimiains of the 
 trash which daily reaches us in the shape of 
 rhyme without reason."

 *• The Holly Branch contains pages 
 which possess merit of a more than average 
 amount. The favorable estimate we have 
 formed of the fair writer's detached ptieces, 
 is fully confirmed by a perusal of the whole. 
 Harriet Annie possesses high powers of ver- 
 sification, her tast« is unimpeachable, and if 
 she seldom reaches the sublime she never 
 fails to move oiu- sj-mpathies and touch our 
 hearts.''— Church, (Do.)

 of fancy, the poetical feeling and the com- 
 mand both of imagery and language which 
 they possess. In spite of worldly circums- 
 tances cling to your poetry for the love you 
 bear it." — -Dk. Charles 3£ackev: Letter io

 WiLLAN, John Henry. A Can. lawyer and 
 journ. B. at Quebec, 17 March, 1827. 
 His father sent him to Eng. to receive 
 his education, which having completed 
 he resided for sometime at Falaise, in 
 Normandy. In 1844, being in London, 
 and about to return to his native 
 country, he commenced direct ac- 
 quaintance with the press by contri- 
 buting to Fraser's Mag., two interesting

 papers descriptive of scenes in the 
 neighbourhood of Quebec. Mr. W., 
 made choice of the profession of law, 
 and in 1845 entered the ofTice of the 
 late Mr. Andrew Stuart. In due 
 course he was admitted to practice, 
 and very soon acquired a leading posi- 
 tion as a criminal lawyer, a position, 
 which with the advance of time he 
 has by his rare talents as an expounder 
 of the law and his great powers of elo- 
 quence greatly served to strengthen. 
 But it is chietly with his career as a 
 public writer that we have to do. In 
 the same year that he entered on the 
 study of law, Mr.W. became cd. of the 
 Freeman's Journal^ and remained at his 
 post till 1847, when he left that paper. 
 Can. was then in the throes of the 
 fiercest political strife she has ever 
 felt, that of 1837 alone excepted. 
 The Journal had hitherto preserved a 
 cautious neutrality between the con- 
 tending political parties, but no sooner 
 had Mr. W. taken the ed. chair than it 
 became the fiercest of the Can. Tory 
 newspapers. It was on this paper tbat 
 he first displayed his ability as a poli- 
 tical writer, and won his spurs as a 
 journ. On leaving the Journal he 
 became Parliamentary reporter to the 
 Gazette and the Courier^ (Mont.) His 
 reports were written entirely from 
 memory, but in accuracy and copious- 
 ness were not considered inferior to 
 the ordinary work of short-hand 
 writers. Again visiting Eng., in 
 the autumn of 1847, Mr. W. gave 
 his attention to the subject of Emigra- 
 tion to Can., and wrote in the Times, 
 Herald^ Standard^ Post and John Bull 
 (Lon,,) respecting it. Returning to Can. 
 he followed up the subject in the Chro- 
 nicle^ Gazette^ Spectator and Emigrant 
 (Que.) and for a while occupied the ed. 
 chair of the last named journal. In 
 1850 he became connected with the 
 Mercury^ of same city, first as a Law 
 reporter, and subsequently as political 
 ed., which relation continued until 
 the accession to power of the Liberal 
 party in 1863, when the paper became 
 the "organ of that party, and Mr. W. 
 retired from it. Shortly after the re- 
 turn of the Conservatives to power, in 
 1864, he resumed his place on the 
 Mercury, by invitation. In this journal 
 his best political contributions have 
 
 appeared. Mr. W. is beyond question 
 in all respects the ablest anfl most 
 powerful political writer on the Can. 
 press. No other journ. that we have 
 possesses the same strength or vigor, 
 pungency of wit, biting satire, copious- 
 ness of language and intimate acquain- 
 tance with Constitutional history and 
 parliamentary govt. Throughout his 
 whole career as a public writer he has 
 well maintained his consistency as a 
 Conservative of the old school and a 
 rigid supporter of High Church Esta- 
 blishments.

 WiLLcox, Joseph. A Can. journ. An 
 Irishman by birth, he emigrated to 11. 
 C. when quite young. In 1803 he be- 
 came Sheriff of the Home District, but 
 was deprived of his office 3 years 
 afterwards, by the ruling party of the 
 day, for voting against their candidate 
 at a Parliamentary election. In 1807 
 he established a paper called the Upper 
 Canada Guardian, or Freeman's Journal, 
 the second newspaper published in 
 the Upper Province. As ed. of this 
 paper he earned a large degree of po- 
 pularity with the people and the Liberal 
 party. He was sued for libel by Mr. 
 Gore, the Lieut. Gov., was acquitted, 
 and shortly afterwards returned as 
 a mem. to the Leg. Assem. ; by that 
 body he was incarcerated in the To- 
 ronto Gaol for a misdemeanor. For 
 some time up to 1812, he ed. another 
 paper at Newark called the Telegraph.

 Brit, and the U. S. in that year, he

 joined the Militia, and fought against

 by an act of treason, in deserting

 to the rank of Colonel by the Ameri- 
 cans, but did not long enjoy the reward 
 of his treachery, being killed at the

 the prize for the best Latin prose and a 
 gold medal for his proficiency in Greek. 
 Afterwards entered the Univ., and was 
 highly successful in Classics and 
 in the Mathematical and Natural Phil- 
 osophy Classes, taking first prizes in 
 each of them. He studied divinity 
 under Dr. Chalmers, and was licensed 
 by the Presbytery (Edin.) He laboured 
 for a time in Kilsyth and Drummelqier. 
 In 1842 received his present appt. in 
 Queen's Coll., where he has been 
 eminently popular with the students 
 and graduates, and has been the reci- 
 pient of various testimonials from 
 them. In 1855 the Univ. of Glasgow 
 conferred upon him the degree of LL.D. 
 It was mainly through his instrumen- 
 tality that an Astronomical Observa- 
 tory has been established at Kingston, 
 from which for some years he has 
 transmitted to the Ordnance Dept. of 
 Gt. BriL elaborate monthly meteorolo- 
 gical reports. An abstract of the re- 
 sults of 3 years of these has been 
 published, and another for 3 additional 
 years is now ready for the press. 
 These abstracts afford the only correct 
 data yet available for determining the 
 meteorological characteristics of King- 
 ston, and the service has been per- 
 formed by Dr. W. without any pecu- 
 niary recompense whatever. In 18434 
 he published analyses of several saline 
 springs near Kingston, and of the three 
 springs at Caledonia, and during suc- 
 cessive years he made and published

 as a printer. About 1857 established 
 and conducted The Western Recorder, 
 (Carle ton,) a weekly political paper, 
 and about the same time started The 
 Freemasons' Monthly Monitor, both of 
 which, however, enjoyed but a brief 
 existence. Mr. W. next served on the

 reporter, and ultimately as chief ed. 
 In 1803 he accepted the chief ed. con- 
 trol of the Morning News, (same place,) 
 a tri weekly and weekly Reform jour- 
 nal, a position which he still retains. 
 The News was founded in 1839, and 
 is said to have been the first penny 
 paper established in the British Colo^- I 
 nial Empire. It has always upheld J 
 
 the interests of the Liberal party in N. 
 B., and was a strenuous advocate of 
 Responsible Govt, from the first in- 
 ception of that scheme until its final 
 adoption. It gave the project for the 
 Confederation of B. N. A., based on 
 the Resolutions adopted at the Quebec 
 Conference, a strong and unwavering 
 support.

 After completing his education in the 
 Gore District Grammar Sch., entered 
 on the study of law, and, in 1841, 
 was admitted to practice. Previous to 
 this, however, he had visited the West 
 Indies, and during his stay in Trinidad 
 contributed several papers on the na- 
 tural curiosities of the island to the 
 
 Standard there. Some of these having 
 found their way into the columns of

 an occasional contributor to that jour- 
 nal. Mr. W. on his return home threw 
 himself heartily into the discussion of 
 the commercial topics of the day. He 
 wrote many articles on railways, steam 
 navigation, &.C., for the leading Hamil- 
 ton, Kingston and Montreal journals. 
 In 18i9 he became connected, editor- 
 ially, with the Independent (Tor.), a 
 paper started by a number of mer- 
 chants, to advocate the annexation of 
 Can. to the U. S. The policy of this 
 journal being, as a matter of course, 
 unsnstained by public opinion, and 
 Mr. W. feeling himself placed in a 
 false position, terminated his connec- 
 tion with it. About this time he as- 
 sisted in founding the Spectator., (Ham.,) 
 a strictly Conservative journal, in 
 whose columns contributions from him 
 have frequently appeared. In the last 
 mentioned year he visited Eng., where 
 he remained until 1855. Many of his 
 letters on Can. topics, written from 
 time to time, during his residence in 
 the Mother Country, found a place in 
 the Times (Lon.) In 1857, he for a 
 short time conducted the Times (Ham.), 
 his principal articles relating to ques- 
 tions of currency and banking. In 
 1861-2, he wrote largely for the Chro- 
 nicle, (Que.), on subjects connected 
 with the trade of that port and the St. 
 Lawrence. Mr. W. has been engaged 
 in various projects and enterprises 
 having for their object the develop- 
 ment of the resources of his native 
 country, many of which have resulted 
 successfully and have served to bring 
 the Province under the favorable no- 
 tice of other countries.

 Prof. George Wilson, M. D., of the 
 Univ. of Edinburgh. Pursued his 
 
 studies in his native city, and early 
 gave evidence of his superior intellec- 
 tual qualities and attainments. For 
 some years previous to coming to Can., 
 was Secy, to the Soc. of Antiquaries, 
 (Scot.), of which he was also a fellow. 
 In 1853, by the death of M. Arago, a 
 vacancy occurred in the class of hono- 
 rary members of that body, (the mem- 
 bers of which are limited to 20, and 
 included at the time we speak of such 
 men as Guizot, Rawlinson, Biot, 
 Bunsen, Lepsius, &c.,) and Dr. W. was 
 elected to the vacant place. This was 
 in the same year as that in which he 
 was appointed to the chair which 
 he still fills in the Univ. of Toronto. 
 Subsequently he was offered the office 
 of Principal of the Univ. of McGill 
 Coll., but declined it. He ed. the Cana- 
 dian Journal (Tor.,) for 4 years, and 
 was presented with a silver service, 
 both as an acknowledgment of the 
 service thus rendered the Canadian 
 Institute whose journal it is, and as 
 some appreciation of the great ability 
 and zeal with which he conducted it. 
 In 1859 he was elected President of 
 the Canadian Institute, an honour 
 which was conferred upon him a se- 
 cond time at the annual election in 
 the following year. In 1863 the Na- 
 tural History Soc. (Mont.) awarded 
 him its first silver medal '■'■ for impor- 
 tant services to science, especially to 
 science in Canada." Dr. W was for 
 some years President of the Teacher's 
 Association, U. C. He is the author 
 of many valuable and interesting pa- 
 pers on scientific and historical sub- 
 jects in different Brit, and Am. periodi- 
 cals.

 tributions to literature. It is a thoroughly 
 good book; in its information fresh and 
 ample, in its conclusions wise, in its arrange- 
 ment judicious and clear, in its style vigorous, 
 expressive and distinct. The topic is not 
 only vast in range, compkx in material, and 
 difficult from its natm-e, but brings the man 
 who ventures to discuss it into contact with 
 momentous and perplexing questions touch- 
 ing the origin of civilization, the unity of the

 " Although these volumes contain a variety 
 of interesting information respecting the 
 Red Indian of America, yet they cannot be 
 said to embody much that is really new. 
 Dr. Wilson's opportunities have not yet 
 brought him into actual contact with tlie 
 ' Wild Forest Man.' His travels, he tells 
 us. have not extended beyond Lake Supe- 
 rior, where the Indian has for a hundred 
 years been more or less in contact with the 
 white man, hence his illustrations of really 
 savage Indian life and arts, are all second 
 hand, and as the authorities he quotes may 
 have been men of widely ditferent observant 
 powers, it is probable that much has yet to 
 be learned respecting this interesting race."

 where he d. in 1853. Having adopted 
 views on the Sabbath and the Christian 
 Ministry at variance with his Ch., he 
 was expelled from that body. He pos- 
 sessed fine talents and a highly culti- 
 vated literary taste. The Provincial 
 Mag. (Hal.,) to which he occasionally 
 contributed, says of him : 
 
 " For scholastic attainment, originality of 
 mind, and strong vigorous intellect, few in 
 these Pi'oviaces have equalled this gentle- 
 man." 
 
 He contributed papers on literary sub- 
 jects to others of the Provincial press 
 and it is with reference to some of 
 these that the late Mr. G. R. Young 
 alludes in his work on Colonial Litera- 
 ture : — 
 
 "Before passing from the features of this 
 age, it would be unjust, in a work avowedly 
 devoted to Colonial Literature, if reference 
 were not made to a series of beautiful ori- 
 ginal papers which appeared in the Halifax 
 Nora Scotian, (1840) intituled: ''A Rough 
 Sketch of English Literature, from its first 
 commencement to the age of Elizabeth.'' Thej* 
 are from the pen of the Rev. 'Mr. Wishart. 
 • * * * These rough notes, and the masterly 
 sketches of the Nineteenth Century by the 
 same hand, contained in the earUer numbers 
 of the JS'ora Scotian for 1840, have been 
 regarded, and justly so, as the evidences of 
 a richly cultivated mind, and superior powers 
 of analysis and comprehension.'

 have i-anked high in any country with what 
 subject soever under discussion, he reasoned

 Avith copiousness and precision. An ample 
 education afforded material for his ardent

 Workman, Matthew F. In 1837, when 
 only 17 years of age, wrote an essay 
 " O.i the Connection between the Language 
 and the Character of a People, ' for the 
 Natural History Society, Montreal, for 
 \yhich he was awarded the silver prize 
 medal of that body. The author 
 showed in this effort great powers of 
 analysis and comparison on a subject 
 of an abstruse nature, worthy of an 
 advanced scholar with acute intellec- 
 tual powers. He was a youth of great 
 intellectual attainments and an ardent 
 student. D. of consumption. May 1839. 
 In noticing his death the Gazette^ 
 (Mont.) said: — 
 
 "His premature and lamented death, 
 caused by an overstrained application to 
 study, the result of a too fen'ent thii-st after 
 knowledge, has depriveil his parents and relar 
 tives of one endeared to them by his virtues 
 and merits, no less than by the ties of na- 
 ture : and has withdra^vn from the world, 
 talents, which, had they been permitted to 
 ripen into maturity, might have been a bless- 
 ing and ornament to society."

 of '' Ajjricola." B., we believe, in or 
 near, Falkirk, Scot. D. at Halifax, N. 
 S., 26 Oct., 1837, Ed. at Glasgow Univ. 
 He entered into trade, and abont 1815, 
 emigrated with his wife and four sons 
 to N. S. In 1818 he succeeded in 
 arousing attention to the dormant con- 
 dition of Agriculture in that Province, 
 through a series of lettei's which he 
 wrote in the Recorder (Hal..) under 
 the norn de plume of •' Agricola." These 
 letters were the means of procuring 
 the establishment by the Legislature 
 of N. S. of the Board of Agriculture, 
 of which Mr. Y. eventually became 
 Secy. It was not, howev'er, until 
 the' following year (1819) that he 
 avowed the authorship of the letters. 
 At a dinner given in Halifax in 1818, 
 we find the then Governor, the Earl 
 of Dalhousie, toasting the celebrated 
 unknown, as follows : 
 
 '• He rose to propose the health of a gen- 
 tleman, who, though unknown to him. he 
 was certain, from his writings deserved the 
 appellation of a scholar and a patriot ; and 
 whose exertions in the cause of the prospe- 
 rity of the country called forth the esteem 
 of everj^ friend to its welfare ? After many 
 other remarks, he gave the health of Agri- 
 cola and success to Ins labors ? The toast was 
 received with eclat.*" 
 
 In 1825 he was returned to the Pro- 
 vincial Parliament, and continued to 
 sit as a member of the Assem. until 
 his death. In that body he displayed 
 considerable eloquence as a speaker, 
 and large and varied knowledge in 
 the performance of his duties. A N. 
 S. journal, opposed to him in politics 
 during his lifetime, in noticing his 
 death, pays the following well deserved 
 tribute to his memory : 
 
 " He has left verj' few men behind him, 
 combining so much varied and valuable in- ' 
 formation, with the same power to impart it 
 either orally or through the press. • * j

 I. Report of the Proceedings of the

 1823. Halifax, 1824* 
 
 '' To Mr. Young's exertions as an agricul- 
 turist, aided by the co-operation of the first 
 characters in that province, and assisted with 
 as much public support as its financial cir- 
 cumstances would allow. Nova Scotia, is 
 deeply indebted. We remember perusing 
 with a lively interest, liis valuable writings 
 on rural economy, dift'used through the me- 
 dium of the pubUc papers, when these letters 
 were not stamped with the authentic charca- 
 teristic of his name. Their intrinsic worth 
 alone, unaided by the weight of power or 
 interest, drew the attention of the public 
 mind towards them; agricultural societies 
 became in vogue : government gave them its 
 support : Mr. Y. with unceasing perseve- 
 rance, lent his time and talents to the best 
 means of advancing their interest: and, as 
 appears by this report, he has now the proud 
 satisfaction of seeing that his plans have 
 been crowned with success, bej'ond the most 
 sanguine expectations." — Qtn. Mag. (Mont-

 The first volume only appeared. 
 
 ''This work comes to our notice as a kind 
 of literary curiosity, being the first volume 
 of any pretensions, so far as we remember, 
 which has come to us from the Northern 
 Colonial press. It has further claims to 
 regard as the production of a gentleman 
 well known among his fellow colonists as 
 a banister of eminence, who, like some dis- 
 tinguished inembers of the profession in our 
 own and the mother country, devotes his 
 leisure hours to the great public cause of 
 education and literature. • « • 
 
 " The volume before us, which is to be 
 followed by two more, consists of twelve 
 Lectures, part of which were in substance 
 delivered by the author as President of the 
 Institute at Halifax. The public^ition, when 
 complete, ' is intended to sketch a general 
 outline which the student may afterwards 
 fill up according to natural taste and pre- 
 dilection, of different branches of letters, 
 philosophy, and legislation ; and to aid in 
 this useful labor by giving references to the 
 best authors, where the subjects and ques- 
 
 tions are fully and elaborately treated. ' It 
 is a design worthy of the author, and calcu- 
 lated to be of much use, we should judge, 
 especially in the present condition of litera- 
 ture and education in the British Colonies. 
 Indeed, we learn from the introduction, that 
 Dr. Birkbeck, the late lamented President of 
 the London Mechanics' Institution, ex- 
 pressed to the author his approval of the 
 scheme, together with that of several influ- 
 ential friends of popular education in the 
 mother country, of whom Lord Brougham 
 was one. • . • 
 
 "It is gratifying to see a man in Mr. 
 Young's position, instead of aiming at the 
 reputation of an original writer, employing 
 his talents upon a kind of work better 
 adapted for practical usefulness among 
 those for whom it is more particularly in- 
 tended. He is content to give ainple space 
 to the speculations and conclusions of the 
 leading minds in their several departments, 
 and wherein they have spoken wisely, they 
 are often allowed to speak for themselves. 
 The proper course in a work like this ' of a 
 strictly educational character,' is to inform 
 those who need be informed of some of the 
 main facts which have been best ascertained 
 in science, and of the elementary truths 
 which have been most approved and best 
 illustrated in the history of human thought. 
 The author has thus condensed much valua- 
 ble matter into the first three Lectures, by 
 way of sketching the successive stages of 
 knowledge up to the time of modern civili- 
 zation. In the two following, the subject of 
 education is treated in a national point of 
 view, and a good abstract is given of the 
 more approved European systems of pojiulai- 
 instruction. 
 
 " In the three succeeding Lectures, upon 
 the Condition and Prospects of Education in 
 the Colonies, there is much valuable infor- 
 mation that can with difficulty be obtained 
 elsewhere. And those amongst us who take 
 a lively interest in the general cause of 
 popular instruction, irrespective of state 
 and national boundary lines, will be under 
 obligations to the avithor for enabling them 
 to get some insight into this portion of the 
 subject without the labor that he must have 
 taken in collecting and examining large 
 numbers of reports and other official docu- 
 ments." — N. A. Rev.

 Davis, Robert. A Can. journ. B. in Lon- 
 don, Eng. Ed. at Winchester and sub- 
 sequently graduated at Magdalen Coll., 
 Oxford. Emigrated with his family 
 to Am. in 1842. Mr. D. resided in the 
 U. S. for some five or six years, but 
 in 1848 his strong Brit, proclivities 
 brought him to Can., where making 
 the acquaintance of the late Mr. Hugh 
 Scobie. then prop, of the Briiish Colonist 
 (Tor..) he became connected with the 
 press of this country, and with the 
 
 exception of a short intermission his 
 connection with the Colonist continued 
 until the paper passed into the hands 
 of Mr. S. Thompson, and finally col- 
 lapsed. He was also engaged in cor- 
 respondence with Eng. periodicals. In 
 1862 he founded and ed. at Quebec the 
 Militia and Volunteer Service Gazette. In 
 1861 he succeeded Mr. Shepherd as ed. 
 of the Morning Chronicle (Que.) and held 
 that position up to the removal of the 
 Govt, to Ottawa, whither he was sol- 
 licited to proceed and bring out a new 
 paper imder the auspices of the Govt. 
 He aided in successfully establishing 
 the Ottawa Daily Times^ of which he 
 remained ed. until the summer of 
 1806, when he retired from the con- 
 duct of the paper through a difiference 
 of opinion with the prop. He is now 
 living upon his farm in Western Can. 
 and has, we believe, bid adieu to news- 
 paper life. Throughout his newspaper 
 career Mr. D. was a keen and consis- 
 tent Conservative, and as such laboured 
 with zeal and ability for the benefit of 
 his party.

 Gaxe, William Law. An Eng. and Can. 
 writer. Better kown in Can. by his tiom 
 deplume: " The Lowe Farmer.'' B. at 
 Harwich, Essex, Eng., 1815. Educated 
 in Eng., and afterwards proceeded to 
 Sweden, where he studied at the Univ. 
 of Lund. His first contribution to Lite- 
 rature appeared in the Royal Ladies Ma- 
 gazine in 1830, and it is a noteworthy 
 fact, that being a first effort, the author 
 
GAN

 was paid for it. At 18 ho had attained 
 a very respectable position as a writer 
 both in prose and verse, and his con- 
 tributions were welcomed in periodi- 
 cals in which such eminent authors as 
 Sheridan Knowles, Mary Howitt, Shel- 
 lon Mackenzie, Miss Pardee, Agnes 
 Strickland, Miss Jewsbury, John Gait, 
 Hon. Miss Beauclerk, Viscount Glent- 
 vvorth, (kc, were regular contributors. 
 Subsequently he wrote for Blackwood, 
 the New Monthly Mag., the Gcntlemaivs 
 Mag., Frazer, the Tablet, Douglas Jer- 
 rohrs Mag., Household Words, and more 
 recently, Punch. Among his earlier 
 productions was a sea-tale, which 
 appeared in the Metropolitan, a mag. 
 ed. by Gapt. Marryatt, and an histo- 
 rical romance, which attracted con- 
 siderable attention, called St. Augus- 
 tines Mission, published in the Cabinet. 
 To Bentlei/s Miscellany he was a constant 
 contributor from its first appearance 
 under the ed. of Chas. Dickens, until 
 Mr. H. Ainsworth succeeded to the pro- 
 prietorship. Mr. G. during his literary 
 career in Eng. became the ed. of various 
 monthlies, including the Lady's Mag., 
 the oldest publication of its class ; the 
 Court Mag., and the yoiun and Country 
 Mag., of which he was at the same time 
 ed. and prop. His labours were not 
 confined to light literature. His poli- 
 tical writings procured for him the 
 sub. ed. of the Morning Chronicle, (Lon.) 
 a position which had shortly before 
 been vacated by Mr. Dickens. He also 
 wrote for the Sun and other dailies and 
 weeklies. As a public writer he was 
 made acquainted with the celebrated 
 William Gobbett, and as a result of the 
 acquaintance he contributed several 
 papers to CobbelCs Mag. Mr. G. came 
 to Gan. early in 18G0 and resided for a 
 short time in the Tp. of Lowe, on the 
 Ottawa, where he held a farm, or 
 "clearance." Invited to Ottawa city, 
 he became connected with the news- 
 paper press there. He has since served 
 as a parliamentary correspondent for 
 various Gan. journals, has contributed 
 in prose and poetry in the Saturday 
 Reader, (Mont.) ; and on political sub- 
 jects to several prominent newspapers. 
 In 1865 he ed. a comic weekly called 
 the Sprite, (Que.) He is the author 
 of 4 or 5 distinct works. His ear- 
 liest was the Child's Own History of 
 
 France, which contained portraits of 
 the long line of French monarchs from 
 Pharamond to Louis Phillipe, and 
 trifling as this work was in a literary 
 point of view, it had the singular merit 
 (as would be thought in Gan.) of selling 
 well and giving a handsome sum to 
 both author and publisher. His next 
 work was a History of the Druids ; which 
 was followed by The Sailor, Temptation, 
 a poem ; and Memoirs of Don Pedro, Ex- 
 Emperor of Brazil. For sometime from 
 1843 Mr. G. held a situation in the 
 Admiralty Office, Eng., subsequently 
 in the Gustoms. Since his residence 
 in Gan. he has been employed fir some 
 years as a sessional elk. in the Leg. 
 Assem.

 Sadlier, 3Irs. James. A well-known Am. 
 authoress. Some twenty years ago Mr. 
 James Sadlier, a younger member of 
 the well-known publishing house of 
 that name, in N. Y., visiting Can. on 
 business, met with, wooed, and mar- 
 ried, a young Irish lady. Miss Mary 
 Anne Madden, then residing in Mon- 
 treal. Miss Madden was born at 
 Cootehill, Co. of Cavan, Irel., Dec. 31, 
 1820, from which with some other 
 members of her family she emigrated 
 to Can., shortly before her first ac- 
 quaintance with Mr. Sadlier. When 
 scarcely 18 she began to contribute to 
 La Belle Assemblee, (Lon.,) a mag. 
 published under the patronage of the 
 late Duchess of Kent. One of her first 
 works was a collection of traditionary 
 stories, published by subscription 
 at Montreal, intituled : Tales of the 
 Olden Time. In one of her numerous 
 tales of Irish immigrant life and 
 adventure, called Eleanor Preston, there 
 are some sketches of lower Canadian 
 rural life and scenery, which go to 
 show that the faculty of close obser- 
 vation had developed itself very early

 in her case. The literary works of 
 this gifted lady may be divided into 
 three classes, the Historical Irish 
 romance, of which the Confederate 
 Chieftains is the best and most elabo- 
 rate ; her didactic and religions works, 
 original and translated, of which Dc 
 Ligmjs Life of the Blessed Virgin, may 
 be cited as an example ; and, a depart- 
 ment, or sub-department of fiction, in 
 which she stands wholly nnrivalled, 
 and whicli we may call, the romance 
 of Irish immigration. Under this last 
 head, we may mnntion her WiUy Burke ; 
 the Blakes and Flanagans; Con ff Began; 
 Eleanor Preston: Aunt Honors Keepsake, 
 kc. &c. We have not, we regret to 
 say, a full list of Mrs. Sadliers nnme- 
 roiis writings and translations within 
 reach, but we hazard nothing in adding 
 
 that their variety and excellence are 
 such as fairly to entitle her to rank 
 with that gifted Irish sisterhood which 
 boasts the names of Maria Edgeworth, 
 Mrs. Jameson, Lady Morgan, and 
 Psyche Tighe. This lady's first li terary 
 essays in this country appeared we 
 believe in the w^ell-khown Montreal 
 periodical called the Garland, (now 
 defunct) and all her books up to the 
 year 1860 were written in Montreal, 
 from which she then removed to N. 
 Y,, where she still resides.
