  1. A history of Louis-Joseph Papineau French Canadian political leader and insurgent. After serving in the War of 1812, he entered the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada of which he was speaker. Eloquent and able, he soon became leader of the French Canadian Reform party. His hostility to the British government in Canada, whose measures he considered unfair to the French Canadians, inflamed some of his followers, the Patriotes, to open rebellion in 1837; shortly afterward a rebellion incited by William Lyon Mackenzie broke out in Upper Canada. Papineau took no active part in the uprisings but fled to the United States, where he sought assistance for the Canadian colonial cause. Failing in his effort, he went to France. He later received amnesty and returned to Canada. Contents: The Early Years of Papineau; A Retrospect; The Parliamentary Regime; His First Steps in Politics; The Union Scheme of 1822; Papineau Returns to Canada-At War with Lord Dalhousie; Papineau’s Troubles with His Friends; Lord Aylmer in the Path of Dalhousie; The Ninety-Two Resolutions; La Convention; Lord Gosford: Nearing the Denouement; To Arms!; The Rebellion and Its Causes; and Exile and Return to Canada.
