placed under the flaps, only the white edges appearing. This new style of feather display was, it is stated, in compliance with an order from the War Office, issued shortly before Brock's death. Previously the plumes were worn more conspicuously. NO. 8. FACING PAGE 75. _Butler's Barracks (Officers' Quarters), Niagara Common._ View of officers' quarters. From photograph loaned by Miss Carnochan. NO. 9. FACING PAGE 96. _Our Hero meets Tecumseh._ "_This is a man_!" Original black and white drawing by Fergus Kyle, Toronto. See page 97. NO. 10. FACING PAGE 109. _Lieut.-Colonel John Macdonell._ Reproduced, by permission, from A.C. Casselman's "Richardson's War of 1812." From a silhouette in possession of John Alexander Macdonell, K.C., Alexandria, Ontario. Colonel Macdonell, who was provincial aide-de-camp to Brock, was member of Parliament for Glengarry and Attorney-General of Upper Canada.

Manly, A.R.C.A., Toronto, from a photograph in possession of Miss Carnochan. NO. 12. FACING PAGE 121. "_Major-General Brock, 18x6._" From a vignette photograph loaned by Miss FitzGibbon, Toronto, and now published for the first time in any Life of Brock. As doubt has been expressed by some admirers of Brock as to the authenticity of this portrait, Miss FitzGibbon's written endorsation is here quoted: "The photograph is from an original miniature portrait of Major-General (afterwards Sir) Isaac Brock, painted by J. Hudson, 18x6--1806--the date of General Brock's last visit to England. The miniature is now in possession of Miss S. Mickle, Toronto."

FACING PAGE 128. _Powder Magazine, Fort George, Niagara._ This powder magazine was first built in 1796. Reproduced from a photograph in possession of Miss Carnochan, Niagara. NO. 14. FACING PAGE 135. _Brock's Midnight Gallop._ Original water-color painting by Charles W. Jefferys, O.S.A., Toronto.
