“The work is second in importance only to the original documents; to the student it is even of greater value, since it places before him translations of these historical data which would otherwise be totally inaccessible, and without which no work on the Philippines could be definitive.”—American Anthropologist.
“At the present time few subjects are discussed so widely and so ignorantly as matters relating to the Philippines.”—Chicago Chronicle.
“In addition to its value as accurate history, the work is full of interest and of suggestions of thrilling mediæval romance and adventure among strange scenes and wild people.”—Philadelphia Telegraph.
“Students desiring to know the true inwardness of this far-reaching event in American History, must inevitably hereafter turn first to Dr. Doughty’s scholarly and well-considered volumes.”—American Historical Review.
The Siege of Quebec and the
Battle of the Plains of Abraham
By A. Doughty, Litt. D. (Laval), Joint Librarian of the Legislature, Quebec, in collaboration with G. W. Parmelee, D. C. L., Secretary of the Department of Public Instruction, Quebec
With Plans, Portraits, and Views
This is the first ample history of the campaign of 1759, and the most extensive and important monograph that has so far been written on any episode in the annals of New France. But the interest of the subject outstrips all bounds that are merely local. Montcalm’s defeat and the English occupation of Quebec were great events in the history of the whole continent. In the world-struggles between England and France they rank even before the battle of Plassey.
