TORONTO: THE BRYANT PRESS, LIMITED Sketch of Dr. William Dunlop [Illustration] This reprint of an entertaining little narrative of personal experiences in the War of 1812-14 may be appropriately prefaced by a short account of the author. Few of the pioneers of Upper Canada had careers as varied and interesting as that of Dr. William Dunlop, and none possessed a personality quite so striking and original as his. On the Saltfort road, near Goderich, Canada, there is a cairn marking the burial place of two notable worthies of the Huron Tract, and upon it is the following inscription: Here lies the body of ROBERT GRAHAM DUNLOP, ESQ. Commander Royal Navy, M.P.P. Who after serving his King and country in every quarter of the globe, dies at Gairbraid, on the 28th Feby., 1841, in the 51 year of his age. Also to the memory of DR. WILLIAM DUNLOP, a man of surpassing talent, knowledge, and benevolence, born in Scotland in 1792. He served in the army in Canada and in India and thereafter distinguished himself as an author and man of letters. He settled in Canada permanently in 1825 and for more than 20 years was actively engaged in public and philanthropic affairs.
