My learned friend, James Macpherson LeMoine, Esq., with his wonderful knowledge of facts, so exhausted the subject in his excellent and beautifully got up book, "Picturesque Quebec," I am utterly overwhelmed. Until I began to study the matter I was quite ignorant that he had written so fully on these matters, so I can only play Boswell to his Johnson, and as without Boswell many of the sayings of the immortal Johnson would have been lost, I too may have my use in recording crumbs of information, interesting and instructive, though lacking the dignity of history. Yours truly, CHARLOTTE HOLT GETHINGS MACPHERSON *OLD MEMORIES:* *AMUSING AND HISTORICAL.* SEQUEL TO "REMINISCENCES OF OLD QUEBEC," BY MRS. DANIEL MACPHERSON.
