(Free Press, Dec. 9, 98) Editor FREE PRESS. Sir :—My attention has been called to an editorial in the FREE PRESS of November 4th in which, in a somewhat indefinite manner, yon criticise an article of mine on d’Anville’s expedition. Yon State, it contains some passages which we would be sorry to see in any history purporting to be a true, unvarnished representation of facts.’’ If you will do me the honor of specifying those passages, I shall have much pleasure in giving the authority for my statements. Yours Truly, HARRY PIERS. Legislative Library, Halifax, November 30th, 1898.
