[Footnote 31: Page 18.--Mr. Christie's "History of Lower Canada"
embraced the period from the commencement of its political history as
a British dependency until it was reunited with Upper Canada in 1840
by act of the imperial parliament. It appeared in Quebec and Montreal
from 1849 to 1855, when the sixth volume, a collection of valuable
documents, completed the work. Previously the author had published
several memoirs and reviews of political events and administrations,
which were all finally embraced in the history. For bibliographical
notes see 'Am. Hist. Ass. Papers,' 1891, p. 393; "Bibliotheca
Canadensis," art. "Christie." It is noteworthy that Mr. Christie was,
like Judge Haliburton, born and educated in Windsor, Nova Scotia, where
old King's College still pursues its calm academic studies amid its
sheltering and ancestral elms. In 1890 this venerable and interesting
institution celebrated the centenary of its foundation. See Hind's
"University of King's College, Windsor, N.S., 1790-1890," New York,
"The Church Review Co.," 1890. But Robert Christie could not in those
times be educated in King's, as he was not a member of the Church of
England like the Judge.]
