was deemed at too high a price.  General Brock was beloved by the soldiery, particularly the 49th, of which he had long been lieutenant-colonel, and the indignation of their grief for his loss cost the Americans many a life on that day, that had otherwise been spared.  At Amherstburg, the account of his death was received with heartfelt concern, and not a man was there of those he had lately led to victory who failed to pay that tribute to his memory, which the gallantry and magnanimity of this glorious chief were so every way calculated to awaken in the breast of the soldier.”—­’A Canadian Campaign,’ by a British Officer, in the New Monthly Magazine for December, 1826, and February, 1827.

“Immediately opposite the town of Prescott, on the shore of the United States, is the town of Ogdensburg; and twelve miles higher up, on the Canadian shore, stands the delightful village of Brockville, so called in honor of the late lamented Sir Isaac Brock.  This enchanting little spot unites in its situation every beauty of nature.  In front of it flows the river St. Lawrence, interspersed with numerous islands, variously formed and thickly wooded; behind it is an assemblage of small hills, rising one above another in ’gay theatric pride;’ and on each side are a number of well cleared farms, in an advanced state of cultivation.  Every thing combines to render it pre-eminently beautiful.  The dwellings are built of wood, and tastefully painted; and the court house, in an elevated situation at the back of the village, seems, from its superior size, to be the guardian of the villagers—­an idea of my fancy, which I did not seek to confirm by entering within its doors.  Brockville contains 450 souls.  It has a parsonage house, but no church has hitherto been erected.”—­Five Years in Canada, by E.A.  Talbot.

“We remained an hour or two at Brockville, the village of palaces; and few villages have I seen more attractive than this one.  It is situated on a shelving bank, with a southern aspect, and groves of trees round it.  The houses and churches are built of grey stones, and, being covered with tin, have a light and pleasant appearance.” Alexander’s Transatlantic Sketches. London, 1833.

[NOTE.—­Brockville was originally named Elizabeth Town, in compliment to the general’s mother, and the township or county, in which the village is situated, is still called Elizabeth.  There is a large township bordering the river St. Clair and Lake Huron, in about latitude 43 deg. and longitude 82 deg., in the western district of Upper Canada, named Sarnia, the ancient name of Guernsey.  This township was probably so named by Sir Isaac Brock.]
