Francis Parkman

Parkman, Francis, 1823-1893
In his preface to "The Refugees," the author, Dr. Conan Doyle, says: "No
man can, without flagrant injustice, write upon the end of the
seventeenth century at the French Court, without acknowledging his
indebtedness to Miss Julia Pardoe, nor can he treat American history of
the same date without owing much to Mr. Francis Parkman."

And the popular writer of boys' books, G. A. Henty, in his preface to
"With Wolfe in Canada," names as one of the two sources from which he
derived "all the historical details of the war," "the excellent work
entitled 'Montcalm and Wolfe,' by Mr. Francis Parkman."

It has been frequently suggested that the best and most enduring
memorial to the great historian would be an adequately illustrated
edition of the noble works the preparation of which occupied almost his
entire life. The suggestions have been warmly seconded, and have met
with favor everywhere, and it is understood that the publication of such
an edition will be begun in the near future.

All of Parkman's works are published by Messrs. Little, Brown & Co.,
Boston.
