Reading edition
A writer in the Amer. Cath. Q. Rev. (1884), ix. 592, defends the “Acadian confessors of the faith,” and charges Hannay with “monstrous and barefaced perversions of history.” Cf. among the Parkman MSS. (Mass. Hist. Society, New France, i. p. 165) a paper called “Etat présent des missions de l’Acadie. Efforts impuissants des gouverneurs anglois pour détruir la religion catholique dans l’Acadie.”
