The series known as _Canada and Its Provinces_ (22 vols. and index, Toronto, 1914) contains accurate and readable chapters upon every phase of Canadian history, political, military, social, economic, and literary. The first two volumes of this series deal with the French regime. Mention should also be made of the biographical series dealing with _The Makers of Canada_ (22 vols. Toronto, 1905-1914) and especially to the biographies of Champlain, Laval, and Frontenac which this series includes among its earlier volumes. The writings of Francis Parkman, notably his _Pioneers of New France, Old Régime in Canada, Jesuits in North America, La Salle and the Discovery of the Great West_, and _Count Frontenac_ are of the highest interest and value. Although given to the world nearly two generations ago, these volumes still hold an unchallenged supremacy over all other books relating to this field of American history. Other works which may be commended to readers who seek pleasure as well as instruction from books of history are the following: PÈRE F.-X.
