tin Cote & Co., Quebec
The author of Chants Canadiens'
and "Nouvelle Heures Perdues" has
received many words of praise from
distinguished French writer's. Among
his treasures Is an autograph letter
from ex-Empress Eugene, and his
rank among Canadian poets is high.
He Is thoughtful. reverential, and has
a rare command of language, so that
his lines flow with easy grace.
Mr.. Polsson's father was a distin.
guished physician, his brother Is a mu.
sician of more than local reputation,
while he, himself, is a lawyer by pro.
fession, but his vocation is literature,
which he follows to the satisfaction
Of his readers.
! do not know how many Hawaiian
residents are readers of French, but
those who are would enjoy "Heures
Perdues".
