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 TWO HANDSOME OCTAVO VOLUMES, containing 1,055 pages, with Steel Portrait of the Author. Strongly bound IN EXTRA ENGLISH CLOTH, $5 00 IN HALF MOROCCO, 7 00 AGENTS WANTED. Address for particulars, _WILLIAM BRIGGS, Publisher_, 78 & 80 KING STREET EAST, TORONTO.
