Lawrence_. Two entirely distinct diaries bear this name.
One is printed in the _New York Mercury_ for December, 1759;
the other was found among the papers of George Alsopp, secretary
to Sir Guy Carleton, who served under Wolfe (Quebec Historical
Society). Johnstone, _A Dialogue in Hades_ (Ibid.). The Scotch
Jacobite, Chevalier Johnstone, as aide-de-camp to Levis, and afterwards
to Montcalm, had great opportunities of acquiring information during
the campaign; and the results, though produced in the fanciful form
of a dialogue between the ghosts of Wolfe and Montcalm, are of
substantial historical value. The _Dialogue_ is followed by a
plain personal narrative. Fraser, _Journal of the Siege of Quebec_
(Ibid.). Fraser was an officer in the Seventy-eighth Highlanders.
_Journal of the Siege of Quebec, by a Gentleman in an Eminent Station
on the Spot, Dublin, 1759_. _Journal of the Particular Transactions
during the Siege of Quebec_ (_Notes and Queries_, XX.). The writer
was a soldier or noncommissioned officer serving in the light infantry.
_Memoirs of the Siege of Quebec and Total Reduction of Canada,
by John Johnson, Clerk and Quarter-master Sergeant to the
Fifty-eighth Regiment_. A manuscript of 176 pages, written when
Johnson was a pensioner at Chelsea (England). The handwriting
is exceedingly neat and clear; and the style, though often grandiloquent,
is creditable to a writer in his station.
