Transcriber’s Notes:

Each illustration page was followed by a blank page, both of which were numbered. These are the sources of the apparently missing pages. No pages are actually missing. Some illustrations have been moved a page or two forward or backward to co-locate them with the appropriate biography, or to remove them from the middle of a paragraph.

Commas and periods missed by either the printer or the scanning process were added. Commas and periods interchanged by the printer were corrected.

Several proper names, printed inconsistently, were made consistent:

Francois, Francoise, Francais and Francais were normalized to François, Françoise, Français and Française

Pointe aux Trembles was normalized to Pointe-aux-Trembles.

Lotbinere and Lotbiniére were normalized to Lotbinière.

Accents on other proper names were are unchanged from the original.

Smallpox and small-pox were inconsistently hyphenated in multiple places and so were left as printed.

Accents and other diacritical marks do not appear over or under capital letters, and were not added.

Some words which appear incorrect today have been acceptable spellings in the past. These words (e.g. employe, malster, Hainout, Scotish, threshhold, etc.) were left as printed. Words which are rendered with more typically French spelling, such as “interne” reflect the significant French influence on the English of the time and place and are therefore not corrected to standard English spellings. Similarly, accents on French words used in English text are very frequently omitted, and they have not been added except as noted below.

Capitalization of the words “street”,“place”,“lane” and “avenue”, when part of proper names was inconsistent, and corrected. Other proper names lacking capitalization were corrected.

The following proper names are probably incorrect, but as that is not certain, they are unchanged:

On page 280, Latour dit Dufour is probably Dufour dit Latour

On page 394, Moorwinstow is probably Morwenstow

On page 484, LsRaoul de Lorimer is probably Louis-Raoul de Lorimer

On page 598, Port Elain is probably Port Elgin

On pages 531-532, Hon. J. Ald Ouimet is probably Hon. J. Alderic Ouimet.

There are several places where words appear to be missing. They were added only when the missing word was certain and are included in the following list of corrected printer’s errors.

“mediaeval” was changed to “mediæval” on page 69 to match other instances in the volume (during those mediæval times)

“over-estimated” changed to “overestimated” on page 73 to match other instances in the volume (could scarcely be overestimated)
