  ### Publisher's Notice.
  
  _The tale of the Loyalists; their loyalty to high ideals of national duty—to
  fulfil which they underwent untold losses, privations and sufferings when they
  abandoned their homes and their all, and sought new homes and commenced a new
  life in a northern wilderness—is a story that appeals wherever patriotism is
  an honor and self-sacrifice a virtue. In this Province of New-Brunswick,
  settled mainly by families torn and rent by the American revolution and whose
  descendants are reaping the reward of their sacrifice, it is of peculiar
  interest._
