Excerpt from The 'Patriotes' of '37: A Chronicle of the Lower Canadian Rebellion The manuscript for this little book, written by me in French, was handed over for transla tion 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 intro duced 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 in sight. And it is surely appropriate that an English Canadian and a French Canadian should join in a narrative of the political war.
