petit-fils Hector Garneau. Vol. II. (Paris : Alcan. 30 fr. net.)—The well-known history of Canada by a French- Canadian, the late M. Garneau, is appearing in a carefully revised edition under the care of the author's grandson, at the instance of the " France-America Committee " which is striving to promote closer relations between France and the New World. This second large volume deals with the history of Canada from 1712 to 1841. It is ably written and huts the case for Quebec, in the long controversies before and tifter the Act of 1791, from the French-Canadian standpoint, which is not quite the same as that of most English writers on Canadian affairs. The editor's notes show a close acquaintance with reeont work in this field.
