MONTREAL WITNESS

We hâve received a pamphlet with the title : Les Institutions de l'Histoire du Canada. This is only a small portion of a large work of Canadian annals, wich is to be pubiished hereafter, as sooa as the necessary means are produced. The spécimen now on hand indicates, ia the author a vast amonnt of érudition and historical "esearch, which promises to render the whole worck very complète as a collection of ail the facts and opinions relating to the history of our Province. Ât the same time, the désire of being complète may casily spoil the success of this publication, rendering it diffuse and tedions by introducing matter foreing to the subject of the work. Thus a third, at least, ofthe pamphlet before us, is devoted, to a discussion on the unity of the human race, which, valuable as it is by itself, is in reality but little connected with the History of Canada, going back, as it does, to antediluvian times.
