721. Du Calvet, (Pierre)--The Case of Pierre Du Calvet, Esquire, of Montreal, in the Province of Quebeck, containing, (amongst other things worth notice) An Account of the long and severe Imprisonment he suffered in the said Province, by the order of General Haldimand, the present Governour of the same, without the least offense, or other lawful cause whatever. To which is prefixed, a dedication of it in the French language, (Mr. Du Calvet not understanding English) to the King's Most Excellent Majesty, humbly imploring the protection and countenance of His Majesty's Royal Justice in his endeavours to procure some compensation for the injuries he has received: London, 1784. 8vo.
This work was published in London in 1784, on the failure of Mr. Du Calvet's complaints to the King and his Ministers against General Haldimand. Mr. Du Calvet was a French Protestant, who remained in Canada, when it was ceded to Great Britain in 1763. He was engaged in trade, and had been appointed a Magistrate in Montreal under the British Government, but was early engaged in feuds with his brother Magistrates, which were conducted in the spirit of absolute Government, whose power is frequently brought into play in these feuds. Mr. Du Calvet was finally imprisoned at Quebec, as favouring the Bostoniens, for two years and eight months prior to the 2d May, 1783, when he was enlarged, and proceeded to England to obtain justice against the Governor. This publication contains some interesting Documents of the times prior to the establishment of a Representative Constitution in Lower-Canada, of which he was a strong partizan, warmly opposed to the Quebec Act of 1774. The picture which Mr. Du Calvet himself gives of these times and the actors in them, is probably too highly coloured, and in many instances is a mere caricature.--Editor.
