  1. Part Seven of Eighteen Volumes. Gilbert, Canadian-born novelist and politician, his literary reputation lies primarily on his earlier descriptive, dramatic and historic Canadian stories. He moved to England in 1889 and later served in Parliament. Parker explains that in this edition of his work, each volume will have a special introduction setting forth, as far as possible, the relation of each work to the author, to its companion works, and to the scheme of his literary life. This volume contains three novels: The Translation of a Savage describes the transformation, or rather the evolution, of a primitive character into a character with an intelligence of perception and a sympathy which is generally supposed to be the outcome of long processes of civilisation and culture; The Pomp of the Lavilettes, a short novel deals with the collision between the French political interests and the narrow administrative prejudices and nepotism of the British executive in Quebec. It is a realistic look at French life in Canada; At the Sign of the Eagle begins: Well, what do think of them Molly? said Sir Duke Lawless to his wife, his eyes resting with some amusement on a big man and a little one talking to Lord Hampstead.
