THE BOOKS AND WRIXKRS OF the: province:. BY W. G. MacFARUNE, A. B. ST. JOHN, N. B. Press of The Sun Printing Company, Lt'd. 1895. P '■^ ■2> h% 'k s D "Hot PREFACE. My object has been in this compilation to bring together in as complete form as possible the titles of New Brunswick books and pamphlets. The list includes books by New Brunswickers and books printed in or relating to the Province. The catalogue of titles is accompanied in many cases by biograph- ical and critical sketches of the writers and by brief descriptions of the more important books. The task has been a laborious one and the gathering of the material has occupied a space of five years. The information has been obtained from a great variety of sources, by correspondence, references to many books and personal enquiry. It would take considerable space to give the names of all to whom I am indebted for assistance, but there are a few whom I wish particularly to thank for services kindly rendered. These are Rev. W. O. Raymond, S. D. Scott, A. A. Stockton, M. P. P., and Jonas HovsTE, of St. John ; Prof. W. F. Ganong, of Northampton, Mass. ; Ray C. Archibald, of Sackville, and A. M. Hill and Jas. Vroom, of St. Stephen. From the collection of the late J. W. Lawrence and from Morgan's Bibli- otheca Canadensis I also obtained much information. The compilation, I may add, appeared in the columns of the St. John Sun at intervals between November, 1893, and February, 1895. W. G. MacF. St. Jolin, March ist, 1S95. NEW BI|UNSWIGK BIBLIOGRAPHY.

P., (Aug. 13, 1845,) figures more as a political debater than as a writer. His speeches are those of the natural orator, spontaneous and easy, and he was one of the supports of his party during the years in which he sat in the local house. He united the quality of good fellowship with that of vigor in stump speak- ing, and his cooperation was invaluable in elections. It was during his occupancy of the Surveyor-General's portfolio from 1878 to 1882 that he prepared his pamphlet on immigration, the real writing of which was done by J. E. Collins. He at present rep- resents his native county of Northumberland in the Dominion parliament.

[Justin Win- son's "Critical History" in speaking of Draper's book says . " The most interest- ing description of the campaign from the British side is in the Diary of Captain Anthony Allaire, of Ferguson's corps. The chronology is useful in fixing dales, and his narrative of his treatment while in cap- tivity and during his successful attempt to escape is very interesting. He is also sup- posed to have been the author of a letter written by ' an officer from Charleston, Jan. 30,' which is printed in Rivington's Eoyal Gazette of Feb. 14, 1781, and reprinted in Draper's." The diary was presented to Mr. Draper by the grandson of the writer, J. De Lancey Eobinson, of Douglas, York Co., N. B.] Allan, Lt. Adam, was the author of what was probably the first poetical publication of this province. He was a Loyalist, and during the war had a Lieutenant's commis- sion in the Queen's Eangers. He was one of the first settlers at Saint Anne's Point, now Fredericton, his being one of only four houses thai stood there in 1785. He re- ceived half pay and resided in Fredericton and York county until his death in 1823 in his 66tli year. While in command of a post at Grand Falls in 1798, during the period of alarm between the Eepublic and the provinces, he composed his description of the Falls, a very spirited and graceful poem . This was reprinted from his book by the St. John " Courier" in 1845. In his version of the "Gentle Shepherd" he added a third scene, of his own composition, to the fourth act of the drama and a song or two of unusual melody. Of this work Morgan in his "Bibliotheoa Canadensis" says: NEW BRUNSWICK BIBLIOGRAPHY. " This version of the Scottish pastoral is uncommonly scarce and seems to have es- caped the notice of bibliographers."

[Dedicated to the Printer's Devil.] Allan, Col. John, is known to this prov- ince in connection with his fruitless at- tempt to arouse the Indians against British authority at the beginning of the Bevolu- tionary war. His journals give a minute account of his stay on the St. John Eiver and describe interestingly the manners of the Indians. Military Operations in Eastern Maine and Nova Scotia During the Revolution. A volume of hitherio unpublished papers chiefly compiled from the Journals and Letters of Col. John Allan, with a memoir of him. By Frederic Kidder. Albany, N. Y., 1867, pp. 324. Allan, Peter John, was the second son of Dr. Colin Allan, a surgeon in the Imperial service who held the appointment of prin- cipal medical officer at Halifax, bnt retired in 1836 and made his residence at Freder- icton. He was born at York, England, on June 6, 1825, and was thus eleven years of age when he came to the capital of New Brunswick. He was of a poetical oast of mind, and no doubt his frequent rovings amid the groves and fields surrounding the celestial had much to do in moulding the style and determining the nature of his future writings. He took a partial course at the University of New Brunswick and was held in high esteem by his classmates. He devoted him- selt to all their pursuits and was a leader in class-room and on campus. He commenced the reading of law, though his natural apti- tude was for literary pursuits, but he was determined in character and overcame his feelings of indifTerence toward his profes- sion. His successful pleading of poor clients' suits, while j'et an amateur, gave good promise of a worthy career. Mean- while literature was his avocation, and his contributions to the local journals were quite frequent. He at length concluded to publish a volume of verse, and was at work upon this when in 1818 he was suddenly stricken with fever and died after a brief illness. James McGregor Allan, his brother, after- ward got out the volume with a short bio- graphical sketch by himself. In it he speaks of the other's physical and mental attain- ments in the following terms : " My brother's personal appearance was eminently prepossessing. In stature he stood six feet three inoljes at the least. His features were classical, sufficiently regular, manly and in- telligent; his dark eyes sparkled with wit and good humor ; and when he wore his beard and moustache trimmed he might have sat as a cavalier to Vandyk. His reading was extensive, though irregular, his mind capacious and original, his conver- sation singularly fluent and agreeable, and his manners most winning." The principal piece in the collection is a fragment entitled "Pygmalion, Prince of Cypress," of which only the first act was written. It is modelled after the Greek and has much of Attic grace and delicacy. Of his lyrics Rev. Mr. Christmas, an eminent English scholar and critic, thus speaks : " Not a few possess so much poet- ical beauty that they defy criticism." Those which may be thus characterized, he says, are "The Land of Dreams" and "The Christian and the oor." " Many portions of the ' Battle of Cressy,' " he continues, " are extremely spirited ; and had Mr. Allan lived, his natural powers and refined knowl- edge would have given him a high rank among those fervid and energetic writers at whose head Professor Aytoun now stands. In his works there is evidence of genius, high enough and abundant enough to delight the poetical mind." Allan was a great admirer of Byron. He seemed to share the great singer's spirit, NEW BRUNSWICK DIELIOGRAPHV. and his poems bear a Byronic stamp. Like the other, he died in early manhood and, to continue tlie parallel, his work is pervaded with gloom, the shadow, perhaps, of the death angel's wings. His strongest poem is his " Apostrophe to the Memory of Byron." Like Byron he loved Grsek subjects, and he transfers the simplicity and sweetness of Athens' bards to his own verse. S. L. Lee, in Leslie Stephen's " Dictionary of National Biography" (London), gives some account of Allan and criticizes his work in the following terms : " He shows much metrical skill and the lyrics interspersed in a fragment of drama entitled 'Pygmalion, Prince of Cypress,' are very melodious. Bui the majority of the poems are evidently very youthful productions and fail to justify the extravagant expectations, expressed by Allan's friendly critics, of his future achieve- ments."

(Oct. 1, 1817), has been connected for over forty years (since 1851) with the legislative life of the province and has established a reputation as an eminent jurist. He began his public life in 1845, when he was aippointed a com- missioner to settle claims for lands on the Upper St. John under the fourth article of the treaty of Washington. la 1851 he was appointed clerk of the Executive, and in 1856 he was elected to represent his native county of York in the Assembly, and he occupied successively the Solicitorship, Speakership and Attorneyship. In 1865 he was elevated to the Supreme Court, and in 1875 succeeded Hon. W. J. Eitchie as Chief Justice of New Brunswick. He possesses the judicial quality of mind and the broad liberality of view which characterized the name of Allen during its connection with the legislative history of New Brunswick from the formation of the province. He has ever identified himself with public en- terprise and has especially assisted historic investigation in the province. Kules of the Sujireme Court of New Brunswick. Fredericton, Jas. P. A.

He lias contributed a great deal to the scientific knowledge of New Bruns- wick and since 1868 has been employed upon the geological survey of Canada. In 1882 he was nominated original Fellow of the Eoyal Society of Canada and he is a member of other leading scientific bodies, such as Boston Society of Natural History, New Brunswick Natural History Society, Natural History Society of Montreal, Literary and Historical Society of Quebec, Nova Scotia Institute of Natural Science, American Bureau of Mines and American Microscopical Society. He has contributed a great deal to various scientific periodicals. In Proo. Eoy. Soc.

Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1881. Baird, Lt. Col. Wm. T., is known in local authorship as the writer of the most valuable work on the domestic and public life of the province yet published. His commentary on the manners and customs of the people Irom 1S20 down is very enter- taining, and his book is stocked with highly readable reminiscences of that interesting period when the people were beginning to assert themselves and when the rule of officials was swept away by the assaults of incessant agitation. He was essentially a military man, and his book gives much in- formation in regard to military affairs in the province. Col. Baird v/as born at Fredericton about 1819, and after receiving his education in the schools of the capital he entered the drug business and in 1839 opened an estab- lishment on his own account in Woodstock. He early took an interest in military matters and in 1849 captained a rifle company at Woodstock. He gave valuable assistance to the authorities at the time of the Trent affair. In 1862 he was appointed to the command of the 1st Battalion, Carle- ton County militia, and in the same year was gazetted Deputy Quarter-Master General for New Brunswick. These ap- pointments were followed in 1869 with the Pay mastership of Militia for District No. 8 and in 1879 with the office of Superin- tendent of Stores, which latter position he hold until 1887. His qualities as a military man evoked the praise of the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburg and Lt. Gov. Gordon, when these men were in this province. Seventy Years of New Brunswick Life.

[Commenced about 2S years ago, discon- tinued a couple of years since.] Bates, Walter, Bas the honor to be the author of one of the most extensively circu- lated books ever published in this province. His account of Henry More Smith may be considered one of the most interesting of curios of literature. It was written by a man, in integrity unquestioned and in judgment not seemingly credulous, which renders his assertion of its historic value sound, although its contents are more re- markable than the most daring piece of fiction. He ^was a native of Stamford, Conn., was born on March 14, 1760, and died on Feb. 11, 1842. Loyal in sentiment when the revolution broke out he came to St. John with the' Spring Fleet of 1783 on board the ship Union. He settled at Kingston and became one of the chief personages in that town. Pie was for many years sheriff of Kings County, and it was ia connection with tnat position that he witnessed the strange events that he narrates. He was one of the pillars of the parish church and was much respected for his upright char- acter and unblemished reputation. From such a man the tacts presented in his book should carry some weight, unless Sheriff Bates is looked upon as an easily duped enthusiast. The events related in the book occurred between the years 1812 and 1815, and in 1816 he left Kingston for Portland, taking passage on ths sloop Wilmington with his narrative, which he had prepared for publi- cation. On account of adverse winds he was obliged to go to New York, and he appears to have changed his mind in regard to the place and time of getting out the edition, for it did not appear until 1817, and New Haven, Conn., was the place of publication. The same year a reprint of the work appeared in London, England. The author's second edition was published by Wm. L. Avery, St. John, about 1837. This contained considerable supplementary matter detailing Smith's exploits subsequent to the appearance of the first edition and down to the year 1836. Geo. W. Day, about 1854, reprinted the Avery edition with a plate, and in 1855 G. W. Miller reproduced the original edition at Charlottetown. Since then G. W. Day has published four more editions of the work, the fourth in 1875 and the fifth in 1877. The last is sold out and he is thinking of publishing yet another. There are thus altogether nine editions known of and they must total many thous- and copies. Day published from 12,000 to 15,000 in his five editions. The narrative is intensely interesting and is written in a quaint style. It is valuable not only for the account of this wonderful man but also for the references to men, places and customs of that early period in the history of this province. Mr. Bates at one time thought of publish- ing his manuscript history of the early days of Connecticut and in 1840 issued a, pros- pectus of the work, according to which he proposed to contrast the Puritans who settled that state with the Loyalists who settled New Brunswick.

For two years he edited the Colonial Presbyterian, published at St. John, and in 1872 he founded at the same place the Maritime Monthly, an excellent mag- azine for that time. This he managed for one year when it passed into other hands.

Day, 1885, pp. 20. Boyd, Hon. John, Late Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick, is known widely as the most popular lecturer the province has ever produced. From the year 1847, when he first ascended the rostrum, he was in constant demand. Hb wrote in all over forty lectures and these have been delivered hundreds of times throughout the Maritime Prov- inces. He was essentially a people's lecturer, being possessed to perfection of the knack of happy and pictures que ex- pression and accompanying his thought with an excellent delivery. He always drew crowded houses and his efltorts were rewarded not only by the approba- tion of his hearers but by the sub- stantial results represented by the raising in this way of some thousands of dollars for various benevolent objects. It is a matter of remark that Gover- nor Boyd was ever able to find time, amid the engrossing cares of business, NEW BRUNSWICK BIBLIOGRAPHY. 13 to engage si extensively in platform effort and that one wlio was self-made and whose days were spent from boy- hood amid the active concerns of com- mercial life should have had such pro- nounced literary tastes and accomplish- ments. To state the facts of his life in brief, he was born at Magherafelt, Ireland, Sept. 28, 1826, at five years of age came to New Brunswick, spent some years at school in St. John, as a boy entered the employ of Messrs. Huldsworth & Daniel, rapidly rose through the various stages to a partnership with Mr. Daniel in 1854, was appointed to the Senate of Canada in 1880, from wliich he was ele- vated to the Lieutenant Governorship in 1893. His life was one of stern ap- plication and industry, directed mainly along two currents, his vocation —busi- ness, and his avocation — the public plat- form. Many of his subjects were of a local bearing and are on that account parti- cularly pleasing. He had in sight at the time of his death three new lectures — one on the "Life of Sir Leonard Tilley from 1850 till 1885," another on the "Story of a Life, from Belfast, Antrim, to Marysville, York County, (Alexander Gibson;)" and a third on the " Story of the C. P. R." In each case he had obtained very interesting material in regard to his subjects. In addition to the list of those of his lectures which were published in pam- phlet form the following were either un- published or else appeared only in the columns of newspapers: "What the World Worships;" "On a Eight Knowledge of Character;" "The Old World and the New, a Contrast;" "Great Britain, the Hope of the World;" "Go it while you're Young;" "A Night in the British House of Com- mons;" "From London to Paris in 1863;" "The Confederation of British North America;" The Crop that Never Fails;" "Who Giveth this Woman, a Record of Courtship and Marriage;" "Bezaleel; a Lesson for the Day, (Ex. 36," 12;) "Dr. Holland;" "Extra Luggage;" "The Pearl of Days and its Setting;" "Seeking one's- Fortune;" "Jutlge Wilrnot and his Work;" "Realities of Irish Life;" "Bill and Joe;" "The New Church and Choir;" "Pulpit and Pew;" "Palaces of Wealth or Homes of Poverty;" "Free Trade or Fair Trade;" "The Catacombs;" "Home Rule at IHome;" "Woman's Rights and Man's Duties." Among his other contributions to litera- ture were a series of racy sketches of travel in Europe contributed to the Boston Journal from 1850 to 1863 and again ^in 1837 and 1890 and his letters to the New York Herald on the trade question siibse- queat to the Detroit Convention of 18B6. He also contributed poems, articles and sketches to the press on other subjects. Among his most masterly efforts in the Senate of Canada was his speech on the C. p. R. during the session of 1881 in which he predicted correctly the future course of the railroad's history. Homes for Sailors. St. John, 1848 ? British Seamen and their Claims on us. St. Johnj 1849 ?
