[Footnote 34: Page 19,--John Charles Dent was an English journalist,
who subsequently became connected with the Toronto press. He wrote the
two following works: "The Last Forty Years: Canada since the Union of
1841," Toronto, 1881, two volumes, sm. 4to.; "The Story of the Upper
Canada Rebellion," Toronto, 1885-86, two volumes, sm. 4to. He also
edited the "Canadian Portrait Gallery," Toronto, 1880-81. Although not
a Canadian by birth or education, he identified himself thoroughly with
Canadian thought and sentiment, and was made a Fellow of the Royal
Society of Canada before his too sudden death. A criticism of his
work on "Canada since the Union" by the Abbé Casgrain ('Trans. Roy.
Soc. Can.,' vol. iii., Sec. I.) indicated that his opinions did not
always meet with the warm approval of the French Canadians of a very
pronounced type.]
