Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Union of the Provinces of British North America A work entitled L´Union de L´Amérique Britannique du Nord, par l´Hon. Joseph Cauchon, Membre du Parlement Canadien, et Rédacteur-en-chef du ´Journal de Québec,´ has recently made its appearance. The well known abilities of the author, as a legislator and as a journalist, and his long acquaintance with public affairs, together with the importance of the subject, have been the motives which have induced me to translate this work, for the benefit of those who may not be versed in the French language. The subject of a Union of the British North American Provinces is treated, in all its bearings, from a French Canadian point of view, having reference, not only to the continuance of British connection, but to the preservation of those peculiar institutions of Lower Canada embraced in the words, ´Nos institutions, notre langue, et nos lois.´ There is, however, no narrow-mindedness of thought or expression. The advantages to all the provinces, politically and commercially, are clearly shewn, and, while facts and figures are interesting, the writing is vigorous and convincing. The translator feels assured that the labor of translation will not have been altogether lost upon the thinking and intelligent portion of the English-speaking population of the province. He lays it before them, convinced that Mr. Cauchon´s views will be appreciated, and his style of conveying ideas generally admired.
