The History of Emily Montague

First published in London England in 1769, this is an early English language novel set in Quebec City after the Conquest by General Wolfe, and is described on the back cover as a 'charming love story' depicting 'in intimate detail the life of that city's early English inhabitants.' It has a reproduction of an engraving by Mariano Bovi (1790) from a painting by Catherine Read of Mrs. Brooke on the front cover, an introductory history of the novel by Carl. F. Klink of the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, a bibliography and a note on the author at the end. My copy, which is a paperback in the New Canadian Library series (no. 27) is badly marked up by notes of a previous owner, 319 pages.
