What Gaspé did in his Canadian narrative of the early sixties was “to gather up,” says Mr. Roberts, “and preserve in lasting form the songs and legends, the characteristic customs, the phases of thought and feeling, the very local and personal aroma of the rapidly changing civilization.” The story turns to the days of the last struggle of the English and the French, and tells the life history of two young men, a Scot and a Frenchman, both of whom were educated at the Jesuits’ college in Quebec, and later fought against each other on the plains of Abraham.
“He makes on the whole a very satisfactory translator.”

“A careful study of the relations between England and Rome, from the submission of John to the Papal see on Ascension day, 1213, to the close of his son’s reign. It is written with no desire to defend the Papacy from the charges which were made even by the faithful at the time, and it may fairly claim to represent an unbiased survey of the evidence. The author’s principle has been to let the original documents speak for themselves.” Lond. Times.
