Excerpt from A History of the Late Province of Lower Canada, Vol. 5 of 6: Parliamentary and PoliticalI must not, however, while proclaiming my own disinterestedness in a pecuniary sense, in this publi 'cation, forget to acknowledge the obligations under which I am towards my friends and publishers, in the first place, Mr. Thomas'cary, for the impression of the three first volumes, and in the next, to Mr. John Lovell, for this and the preceding volume. It is entirely to the public spirit and liberality of these gentlemen that I owe the impression of the work, which I should not, indeed could not, have under taken at my own expense, and which at no incon~ siderable risk to themselves they generously assumed, and which I beg them to be assured I am very sensible of and justly appreciate. It is therefore but natural I should entertain a desire that they should be indemnified for, at least, their outlay, in its impres sion and publication. On this head, I have also to acknowledge my obligations to the members of the Library Committee of the last and previous Legisla~tive Assemblies, for their sense of the work, as signified by their recommendation for the purchase, (and complied with by the Assembly), of a considerable number of copies, contributing, by so much always, towards reimbursing my esteemed friends in the outlay they have incurred. For myself, I desire nothing beyond the approval of a reading public.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
