It is hardly necessary to quote here from the innumerable tributes to
so famous an American author as Francis Parkman. Among writers who have
bestowed the highest praise upon his writings are such names as James
Russell Lowell, Dr. John Fisk, President Charles W. Eliot of Harvard University,
George William Curtis, Edward Eggleston, W. D. Howells, James Schouler,
and Dr. Conan Doyle, as well as many prominent critics in the United States,
in Canada, and in England.
In two respects Francis Parkman was exceptionally fortunate. He chose
a theme of the closest interest to his countrymen,—the colonization
of the American Continent and the wars for its possession,—and he
lived through fifty years of toil to complete his great historical series.
The text of the New Library Edition is that of the latest issue of each
work prepared for the press by the distinguished author. He carefully
revised and added to several of his works, not through change of views,
but in the light of new documentary evidence which his patient research
and untiring zeal extracted from the hidden archives of the past. Thus
he rewrote and enlarged "The Conspiracy of Pontiac"; the new edition of "La
Salle and the Discovery of the Great West" (1878), and the 1885 edition
of "Pioneers of France" included very important additions; and a short
time before his death he added to "The Old Régime" fifty pages,
under the title of "The Feudal Chiefs of Acadia." The New Library Edition
therefore includes each work in its final state as perfected by the historian.
The indexes have been entirely remade.
