t the outbreak and conduct of the war are emphatically
condemned.
No portion of this history will be read with greater interest than that
which describes the sufferings, in maintaining their allegiance to their
King, of the U. E. Loyalist Founders and Fathers of Canada. For the
first time, the full and detailed account of these sufferings is now
published. The account of the early development and organization of the
Government of the Maritime Provinces and of Upper Canada is full and
minute. The stirring events of the War of 1812-15 are also given with
much copiousness of detail. The grand patriotism of our country,
struggling against tremendous odds, is amply asserted and illustrated.
To this work the venerable author has devoted several of the best years
of his life. Of U. E. Loyalist stock himself, he writes with hearty
sympathy with his subject. He has devoted many years to the study of
historical and constitutional questions. He has made laborious and
extensive research. And he furnishes in these volumes copious
documentary evidence of the validity of his assertions and conclusions.
It is beautifully printed on extra calendered paper, and forms
