This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: END OF THE CAMPAIGN OF 1759. MONTCALM, in endeavouring to rally our troops in their rout, received the shot of a gun, which pierced through his abdomen. He was carried to Quebec, and lodged in the house of M. Arnoux, surgeon to the king. The wound having been examined by M. Arnoux, the younger, the elder brother being absent with M. Bourlamarque at Carillon, was pronounced mortal. This worthy and great man learned his melancholy news with a tranquillity and serenity of soul and with a heroism worthy of the ancient Romans. He begged M. Arnoux, with sang froid, and an air of indifference to the choice of living or dying, to tell him frankly till what hour he would be able to preserve his existence. The surgeon answered him that he could not be able to pass three o'clock in the morning; and he ended his days a little before the hour that M. Arnoux had foretold him, pronouncing for his last words, " I die content, since I leave the affairs of the king, my dear master, in good hands: I have always highly valued the talents and capacity of M. Levis." I shall not undertake to pronounce the eulogy of this great, truly patriotic man, whose reputation, if he had chanced to be born in England, would have been transmitted to posterity: celebrated and illustrious by his virtues, by his great genius, by every sort of eminent qualities which deserved the best chaplet; but an unfortunatevictim to the insatiable avarice of some, and a prey to the ambition of others. As soon as I learned his misfortune, I charged Joseph, his valet-de-chambre, who went the instant to rejoin his master at Quebec, to say to him that if I could be useful to him, that I would come immediately to be with him; but Joseph returned without delay, to find me at the horn-work, with a reply on his part " that it would ...<
