The publishers are gratified to announce a new edition of a book by this
famous author, who may be called the Walter Scott of Canada. This
interesting and valuable romance is fortunate in having for its
translator Professor Roberts, who has caught perfectly the spirit of the
original. The French edition first appeared under the title of "Les
Anciens Canadiens" in 1862, and was later translated and appeared in an
American edition now out of print.
Patriotism, devotion to the French-Canadian nationality, a just pride of
race, and a loving memory for his people's romantic and heroic past, are
the dominant chords struck by the author throughout the story.
