Excerpt from The Doom of Mamelons: A Legend of the Saguenay I have for some years felt that the connection of the old races with the North American Continent, the signs and proofs of whose presence are to be found almost everywhere, and nowhere so frequently as on the St. Lawrence, afforded material for entertaining authorship. Prompted by this feeling, I have, during these several years past, been working at certain pieces of composition, of which this bit of romance is a fair sample. If it shall so far please the reading public that its publisher shall not lose money by his venture - for letters in our time have no patronage save from the hope of selfish gain - I shall, later on, print others like to it. But if it fail, as it quite likely will, to bring him commercial profit, then they will be forgotten as this one will, until I better them, or they come to a better time.
