"Students desiring to know the true inwardness of this far-reaching event in American History, must inevitably hereafter turn first to Dr. Doughty's scholarly and well-considered volumes."—American Historical Review.
The Siege of Quebec and the
Battle of the Plains of Abraham
By A. Doughty, Litt. D. (Laval), Joint Librarian of the Legislature, Quebec, in collaboration with G. W. Parmeler, D.C.L., Secretary of the Department of Public Instruction, Quebec
With Plans, Portraits, and Views
THIS is the first ample history of the campaign of 1759, and the most extensive and important monograph that has so far been written on any episode in the annals of New France. But the interest of the subject outstrips all bounds that are merely local. Montcalm's defeat and the English occupation of Quebec were great events in the history of the whole continent. In the world-struggles between England and France they rank even before the battle of Plassey.
A limited edition of 525 sets was printed, of which only 19 remain for sale. Complete in 6 volumes, small quarto, handsomely printed, and bound in blue cloth. Price $50.00, net.
"Indispensable to every future historian of the Seven Years' War in America. … The cartography of the campaign has been largely supplemented by Mr. Doughty's discoveries. … The mechanical features of these volumes deserve high praise."—New York Evening Post.
"Merits the thanks of all those interested in probably the most famous incident of our history."—Sir John G. Bourinot, K.C.M.G., LL.D., Litt.D.
"A hundred and one writers have treated this well-worn subject, but it has been left for Messrs. Doughty and Parmelee to go over the whole ground and present us with a final and authoritative record."
—The Daily Chronicle, London, England.
