The Golden Dog [Le Chien D’or]
Contents:
Author’s Prefatory Note
TO THE PUBLIC:
In the year 1877 the first edition of "The Golden Dog" (Le Chien d’Or) was brought out in the United States, entirely without my knowledge or sanction. Owing to the inadequacy of the then existing copyright laws, I have been powerless to prevent its continued publication, which I understand to have been a successful and profitable undertaking for all concerned, except the author, the book having gone through many editions.
It was, consequently, a source of gratification to me when I was approached by Messrs. L. C. Page & Company, of Boston, with a request to revise "The Golden Dog," and re-publish it through them. The result is the present edition, which I have corrected and revised in the light of the latest developments in the history of Quebec, and which is the only edition offered to my readers with the sanction and approval of its author.
WILLIAM KIRBY.
Niagara, Canada, May, 1897.
