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 between the two raceswhich forms the subject ofthisbook. A. D. DECELLES.
