Excerpt from Life and Letters of the Right Honourable Robert Lowe, Viscount Sherbrooke, G. C. B., D. C. L. Etc, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Memoir of Sir John Coape Sherbrooke, G. C. B. Sometime Governor-General of Canada The small amount of time and pains which Lord Sherbrooke bestowed on his Autobiography may be gathered from a perusal of the brief personal memoir which forms the Intro duction to these volumes. When, however, it was represented to him that his share in the formation of contemporary history would be of interest to the public, he readily assented to the preparation of this work, and rendered whatever assistance was in his power. It is true that the imperfect measure of sight, which he had once enjoyed, had entirely deserted him but he retained his lifelong habit of attention to every subject presented to him, and his criticism on what was read was always valuable and suggestive of further sources of information.
