Excerpt from Sir George Étienne Cartier, Bart., His Life and Times: A Political History of Canada From 1814 Until 1873 Insayingthisidonotwishintheslightestdegreetodisparagetheex cellent biographical sketches of Cartier which have already appeared. Dr. A. D. Deceiles' Life of Cartier in the Makers of Canada series is an especially admirable work, reflecting the utmost credit upon that dis tinguished french-canadian writer, whose pen adorns every subject of which it treats. L. T. Turcotte, Benjamin Suite, and L. 0. David have also written excellent reviews of the great french-canadian statesman's career. Admirable, however, as all these are, they are, after all, but sketches of a great career, as it was impossible within the limits assigned the writers to do full justice to the momentous events of Cartier's career and to the period of history with which he was identified.
