Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Edouard Richard Acadia, Vol. 1: Missing Links of a Lost Chapter in American History
Of the Legislature, was edited by Thomas B. Akins, Commissioner of the Public Archives Of the Province. I do not hesitate to affirm that the documents have been selected with the greatest partiality, and with the pur pose, poorly disguised in the very preface, of getting together such papers as might justify the deportation of the Acadians. This accusation I have not deliberately striven to support by hunting up examples, and yet the proofs of it have incidentally accumulated in such pro fusion as to Open the eyes of those who are not wilfully blind. It is easy to see that this compiler aimed at start ing a reaction against the opinions and sentiments that had been current for more than a century. His intention, evidently, was to make this volume an arsenal for all who wanted weapons, for he was fully aware that few writers would give themselves the trouble to go behind his compilation.
