About This Item
Montreal: Printed by William Gray, 1814.. 45pp. Original plain blue wrappers bound into later three-quarter morocco, gilt, and marbled boards. Morocco a bit worn, flyleaf and front wrapper detached. Very good. "Six papers, dated 1813-14, apparently related to affairs in Ireland about the time of Earl Fitzwilliam's administration, 1794- 95; they are in reality a skillful satire on Sir George Prevost's administration in Canada, 1812-14. Gale, the son of an English colonial official, became a lawyer in 1808 and was a judge in the Court of King's bench in Montreal, 1834-38. During the political controversies of the period, he was active in expressing the viewpoint of the English minority of the province" - TPL. LANDE 258. TPL 986.
