This book commemorates the life of Lieutenant Edward Baines, a member of the Royal Artillery, who perished while valiantly combating a devastating fire in Quebec City in 1866. The catastrophe claimed seven lives and ravaged numerous structures, leaving countless homeless. Lieutenant Baines' courageous actions to halt the blaze's ruthless advance, particularly his selfless efforts to preserve the General Hospital Convent, earned him widespread admiration and gratitude. The author vividly recounts the Lieutenant's heroic endeavors and the outpouring of grief that followed his untimely demise. Through meticulous research, the author masterfully contextualizes the tragedy within the broader historical framework of Quebec City and sheds light on the social and political circumstances that shaped the Lieutenant's life and legacy. This book not only serves as a moving tribute to a fallen hero but also offers a poignant exploration of courage, sacrifice, and the profound impact of individual actions in the face of adversity.

See the entries for Baines and Reynolds in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. Addressed to 'The Rev. H. R. Reynolds, D.D.', and signed 'Edw. Baines.' The letter dates from between 1861, when Lord John Russell was created Earl Russell, and his death in 1878. Begins: 'My very dear Friend, / I have just been shaking hands with Earl Russell. I was standing with the mob of M. P.s at the bar of the House of Lords, when he recognised me, and shook hands as he passed out, saying, "I am very glad to see you."' Baines was 'so surprised' that he 'could only tell him how glad I was to see that he was well enough to have returned to his duties'. He informs Reynolds that 'before going to Pembroke Lodge' he may 'inquire [sic] if he is in town - at 37, Chesham Place', explaining that he does not 'know how to obtain the information' before writing to Reynolds, 'or I would do it for you'.
