« Je suis content de ton/eaft Nicolet. Il est très documenté et plein de renseig-nements utiles à l'histoire du Canada. Je t'en félicite... « (Lettre de l'Hon. Jug"e Cyrias Pelletier à l'auteur, 7 sept. 1905).

« V^otre ouvrag"e sur Jean Nicolet m'a vivement intéressé. » (M. le Docteur Arthur Rousseau à l'auteur, 20 octobre 1906).

« In this fascinative narrative Dr Gosselin sketches the Canada of Nicolet's day while telling the story of this brilliant man, who in twenty-four years won lasting- famé

for his discoveries in America and the intimate knowledge he acquired of the everyday life and the languages of a number of g-reat Indian tribes. Nicolet lived and worked in Canada in the first days of the colony. He helped to found the town of Three-Rivers, he knew the earhest missionaries, and witnessed the beg^inning-s of Church influence in the wilderness. To write his biography it is to describe the orig-ins of the colony. The author tells the absorbingstory of Nicolet and his work with fuU knowledg-e and abounding- sympathy and with a charm of style that adds much to the value of the book. He makes abundant use of the testimony of other writers that may throw further light upon the Canada that Nicolet knew. » {Bulletin of the Ajnefican Geographical Society, New- York, No. of November 1907).
