ABBÉ CASGRAIN.

[Footnote 37: Page 20.--The Abbé H. R. Casgrain's best known works are

the following:

"Légendes Canadiennes." Quebec, 1861, 12mo. New ed., Montreal, 1884.

"Histoire de la Mère Marie de l'Incarnation, première supérieure des

Ursulines de la Nouvelle France. Précédée d'une esquisse sur l'histoire

religieuse des premiers temps de cette colonie." Quebec, 1864, 8vo. New

ed., Montreal, 1886.

"Guerre du Canada, 1756-1760. Montcalm et Lévis." Quebec, 1891, two

volumes, 8vo.

The Abbé has been a most industrious historical student, and to

enumerate all his literary efforts would be to occupy much space.

He has been a principal contributor to the 'Trans. Roy. Soc. Can.'

His monographs, "Un pèlerinage au pays d'Evangeline" (vol. iv.) and

"Les Acadiens après leur dispersion" (vol. v.), are particularly

interesting, and the former has been crowned by the French Academy,

and appeared in book form at Quebec. He is very much imbued with the

national spirit and fervour of his countrymen.]
