Excerpt from Memoirs of the Chevalier De Johnstone, Vol. 3 of 3: Translated From the Original French Ms. Of the Chevalier Montcalm Will you permit me, Sir, before our conver sation becomes more serious, to make one reflection upon the difference of lot which we have experienced, comparing the one with the other.

But as for me, what sensation has my death made!
