Book Description
Excerpt from Life of General the Hon. James Murray, a Builder of Canada: With a Biographical Sketch of the Family of Murray of Elibank His connection with Canada, however, forms my chief reason for writing. There has been no small controversy regarding the campaigns of 1759 - 60 - the struggle for Canada - and I have endeavoured to bring out the truth, and to indicate the leading part which fell to him. His government of Quebec for seven years, and his efforts to secure justice for the French inhabitants, has been obscured by the effects of the convulsion that was even then brewing in America, yet as a founder of the Canadian constitution as we know it now, Murray's work was remarkable and enduring. The story of Minorca and its heroic defence, which forms the concluding episode of his active career, is perhaps of minor interest to us in these days, shadowed by memories of the Great War; but even in this case it is of interest to recall the gallantry of soldiers of other times under conditions not less trying than those we have experience of.
