PRESS COMMENTS.
“A volume of great literary and historical value, and one of deep national interest.”—St. Thomas Times.
“This book is capital reading, and throws some unexpected lights on a comedy that had its tragic features.”—Montreal Gazette.
“The book gives us a better idea of the condition of Canadian society when the Queen came to the throne than perhaps any history of the time does.”—Rev. Principal Grant, in Toronto Globe.
“The reader finds many amusing pages illustrative of the primitive ideas of the people, nor are tales of cruelty and outrage wanting to make up the grimmer side of the picture.”—Detroit Free Press.
“The authors are of French extraction, and come honestly by the epigrammatic style, which their former work familiarized us with, and which renders the opening chapter of this volume brilliant.”—Montreal Witness.
“The authors know their subject—their style of writing is conspicuously sprightly, full of wit, which is at times truly caustic. It is an admirable supplement to existing histories and journals and memoirs on the subject”—Buffalo Illustrated Express.
“An intensely interesting book, a true and vivid picture of that confused period. If the overabundance of material has been a drawback, on the other hand it has given a style, a nervous energy and strength, and a dash that are refreshing.”—Mail and Empire.
