Excerpt from Wolfiana: A Potpourri of Facts and Fantasies, Culled From Literature Relating to the Life of James Wolfe, Arranged by John Clarence Webster in This Year of Grace, the Bi-Centenary Anniversary of Wolfe's Birth, 1927 It would not be out of place for the United States to celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of one whose vic tory at Quebec so greatly affected the destinies of the Amer ican Colonies. In Boston, on Sept. 13th, 1859, under the auspices of the New England historic-genealogical Society, the one hundredth anniversary of the capture of Quebec and death of Wolfe was celebrated in the House of Representatives of the State of Massachusetts, and was attended by both bran ches of the Legislature. A memorable oration was delivered by Lorenzo Sabine, in which was emphasized the impor tance of the Quebec victory in determining the institutions, history and character of the whole future of America. His analysis of Wolfe's character and his estimate of Wolfe's professional accomplishments are not excelled in the entire range of literature relating to that great soldier's career.
