Le Moine

Le Moine, JAMES MACPHERSON, Canadian author, was born in Quebec, 24th January 1825, and practised as a successful barrister there for some years, but quitted the active work of his profession in 1858, on being appointed superintendent of Inland Revenue at Quebec. He writes with equal facility in English or French, and is the most prolific author that Canada has produced. He has made special studies of ornithology, archaeology, and other branches of science; and his works —over thirty in number—include some valuable sketches of Canadian history.
