[Footnote 44: Page 27.--The principal contributors to the English
and American periodical press of late years have been George Stewart
of Quebec, Principal Grant, J. G. Bourinot, Martin J. Griffin, W. D.
LeSueur, G. M. Dawson, S. E. Dawson, Arnold Haultain, John Reade, J. M.
Oxley and Sir W. Dawson. Dr. Stewart of Quebec, despite the demands of
journalism, has been always a most earnest literary worker, foremost by
his own contributions and by his efforts to encourage the labours of
others in the too indifferent little Canadian world. Goldwin Smith has
always been a contributor of note, but he is rather an English than a
Canadian writer. Among the names of the French Canadian general writers
are those of Fréchette, Sulte, Marmette, Faucher de Saint-Maurice, J.
Tassé, DeCelles, Dionne, Casgrain and LeMoine; but their efforts have
been confined as a rule to the numerous French Canadian periodicals
which have appeared for the last thirty years, and after a short
career died for want of adequate support. In the numerous periodicals
of England and the United States English Canadian writers have great
advantages over French Canadians, who are practically limited to their
own country, since France offers few opportunities for such literary
work.]
