The manuscript for this little book, written by me in French, was handed over for translation to Mr Stewart Wallace. The result as here presented is therefore a joint product. Mr Wallace, himself a writer of ability and a student of Canadian history, naturally made a very free translation of my work and introduced some ideas of his own. He insists, however, that the work is mine; and, with this acknowledgment of his part in it, I can do no less than acquiesce, at the same time expressing my pleasure at having had as collaborator a young writer of such good insight.

The result as here presented is therefore a joint product. Mr Wallace himself a writer of ability and a student of Canadian history naturally made a very free translation of my work and introduced some ideas of his own. He insists however that the work is mine and with this acknowledgment of his part in it I can do no less than acquiesce at the same time expressing my pleasure at having had as collaborator a young writer of such good insight.
