Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Seats of the Mighty: Being the Memoirs of Captain Robert Moray, Some Time an Officer in the Virginia Regiment, and Afterwards of Amherst´s Regiment This tale would never have been written had it not been for the kindness of my distinguished friend Dr. John George Bourinot, C. M. G., of Ottawa, whose studies in parliamentary procedure, the English and Canadian Constitutions, and the history and development of Canada have been of singular benefit to the Dominion and to the Empire. Through Dr. Bourinot´s good offices I came to know Mr. James Lemoine, of Quebec, the gifted antiquarian, and President of the Royal Society of Canada. Mr. Lemoine placed in my hands certain historical facts suggestive of romance. Subsequently, Mr. George M. Fairchild, Jr., of Cap Rouge, Quebec, whose library contains a valuable collection of antique Canadian books, maps, and prints, gave me generous assistance and counsel, allowing me "the run" of all his charts, prints, histories, and memoirs.
