[Footnote 33: Page 18.--"Cours d'Histoire du Canada. Première partie,
1534-1663." Par J. B. A. Ferland, prêtre, professeur d'histoire à
l'Université Laval. Québec, 1861, 8vo. Seconde partie, 1663-1759; do.,
1865, 8vo. The second volume was going through the press at the time
of the author's death, and subsequently appeared under the careful
supervision of his friend the Abbé Laverdière, to whose historical
labours Canada is deeply indebted. Indeed French Canada owes much to
Laval, with its able teachers, historians and scientists.
The Abbé Faillon, a Sulpician, who wrote a "Histoire de la Colonie
Française en Canada" (Paris, 1865) in four 4to. volumes, was not a
Canadian by birth and education like Ferland and Garneau, but came to
Canada in 1854, and, after residing there for over ten years, returned
to his native country, where he published his well known and valuable
work.]
