Excerpt from Les Colonies Perdues
Dans l'histoire coloniale de la France, de ux noms brillent ou devraient briller au premier _rang ce sont ceux de Montcalm et de Dupleix. L'un au Canada, l'autre dans les Indes, qui sont aujourd'hui deux colonies anglaises, et que leur patriotisme et leur génie ne suffiront pas à conserver à la France; ils furent les héros de deux épopées merveilleuses, s'il est permis d'écrire ce mot, quand il s'agit, en somme, d'un double désastre. Chose incroyable! Ils eurent contre eux leur pays même, ou plutôt ceux qui le représentaient, et de quelle manière dans ces heures de décadence de la monarchie francaise, qui s'avilissait, avant de s'effondrer. Aujourd'hui, de tels faits ne sauraient se pro.
