" Dr. Kingsford has again shewn his power of appre-
ci.iting and clfscrihing the characters of the, ictors in the
great drama he i^resents to us. . . . We have in our
former notices stated our appreciation of iJr. Kings-
ford's qualifications for the great work he has per-
formed so well ; his extensive knowledge, indefatigable
industry, and deep, patriotic interest in his subject;
and his honourable impartiality and fairness in the
statement of facts, and the inferences he draws from
them; and we hold the same opinion still and believe
that he has faithfully performed his duty as an
historian, without feir, favour or aflfection, so far
as human frailty admits.''
Cnndifa Law Journal, Toronto.

" Dr. Kingsford tells us in his preface, that the four
volumes which have now appeared are but an intro-
duction to the history of British rule in Canada, which
he hopes eventually to carry down to the union of the
two provinces in 1841. . . . The present instalment
is a valuable contril)ution to historical knowledge, and
by far the most complete presentment that lias been
given of events and of the men who shaped them in
North America. The author has wisely not confined
his purview to the narrow limit.< of Canadian settlement,
but has related the course of afTairs in Europe, which
so largely influenced those of America, and has
brought together from foreign as well as English
archives, everything that bears on the "making" of
the peoples that inhabit the northern portion, of the
continent. These introductory volumes throv^ much
light on the causes which were already in operation
to pr (luce the American Revolution, so that they
may Oe regarded as indispensable to a proper under-
standing not only -of the early history oi Canada, but
also of that of the other British provinces so soon to
become the United States."
