Sobre este artículo
Parish of St. Suplice [Lower Canada],1 January 1798. 4 pp., about 12 x 8 inches, legible, folds, central scorch marks, otherwise good. See the Dictionary of Canadian Biography for the adventurous missionary career of Pierre Huet de La Valinière (1732-1806), Roman Catholic priest and Sulpician. In 1786 La Valinière published in New York a controversial catechism, Curious and interesting dialogue between Mr. Goodwish and Dr. Breviloq . . . , in both French and English. Two years later he brought out at Albany a 50-page fascicle entitled Vraie histoire, ou simple précis des infortunes, pour ne pas dire, des persécutions qua souffert & souffre encore le révérend Pierre Huet de La Valinière. . . . In this publication, as indeed in the first one, the author portrays himself as a martyr to the American cause at the time of the invasion of Canada in 177576. La Valinières rights as a British subject were finally restored in 1798. But on the ecclesiastical side he was denied any clerical office. He lived in poverty first at Saint-Sulpice, then at Repentigny. Having succeeded in borrowing money from a member of the parish of Saint-Sulpice, he bought a piece of land at LAssomption.
