To His Excellency Srn GEORGE PREWST, Baronet,
Governor General of the Province of Lower Canada,
8sc. 8sc. Sgc.
. May IT Please Your Excellency,
At a moment when every member c^ society oup;Iit to
render himself useful, for the pubhc p^ood, I have thouj^ht
that I mip^lit in some sort contribute thereto by abridj^inp;,
in a succinct manner, the Laws which p^ovcrn the Militia
of this Province.
This Absti'act I presume to offer to your Excellency as
a first tribute of the esteem and profound respect which I
bear towards the Government.
I venture to flatter myself that this compendium, if it
receive your Excellency's approbation, may facilitute to the
public the understanding of the Acts andOrclinance of which
it is an abridgment.
The Canadians, who compose a very large majority of
the Militia of this Prov:nce, will, at a glance, perceive the
whole extent of their duties and of their rights. They will
become convinced that the Legislature, in thus modifying
the obedience which they owe to their Sovereign, has sought
only to perpetuate their happiness and their prosperity —
And that the powers of the King's Representative have no
other force than for their defence and protection.
Such is the object of this work. I shall be happy if it
prove agreeable to your Excellency, and of some utility to
my Countrymen.
I have the honor to be, with the most profound respect,
. Ycur Excellency's most humble
and very obedient servant,
L. LEVE6QUE.

INTRODUCTION.
1'l»c two Acts which form the Hubjoct of this Abstract, will be
in force until the firHt of July, 1SI4. liut, if at that time the
Province should be in a state of war, of invasion or insurrection,
they will thence continue in force until the termination of such
war, invasion or insurrection.
These Acts and the Ordinance contain ninety six Sections.
To facilitate the understandiu*; of the contents, I liave divided the
work into four Chapters. The tlircj'lirst comprize the powers, the
dutit:-. and the ri(^ht^< of the (jrovenior. Lieutenant (rovernor,or
Person administerinir the (iovernment, and those of the Othcers,
Non-Commissioned Ollicers and Privates. I have respected and
followed as closely as possible the text of the law ; because what
I Iiave made is an abstract, and not a commentary : but I huve
avoided repetitions which, in an abridgment of this JuUure, would
have been altogether misplaced.
