Excerpt from Uncle Sam in Quebec
Books are not always put before the reading public on their merit alone, there are times when an author who may be a free trader, must needs quickly turn Protectionist.
If this little volume should fall into the hands of the critics, I beg that they will treat it, not as a literary gem, for literary gems are not begun, written and arranged, ready for the printer, all in a single day, as this one has been written, every word, from title page to finish, since eleven o'clock this New Year' s morning.
