ADAM, G. Mercer and A. Ethelwyn Wetherald. An Algonquin Maiden A Romance of the Early Days of Upper Canada.
Montreal: John Lovell & Son, Toronto: Williamson & Co., 1887. First edition. With a holograph note from Scottish-Canadian writer John Hunter Duvar on the title reading ‘Sent me by John Lovell, publisher. Hunter Duvar.' 8vo., orig. dark blue cloth lettered in red, 240, (1)p. ads. Some light wear to the spine ends o/w a very nice copy of an uncommon work.
In 1887 Adam collaborated with Agnes Ethelwyn Wetherald in producing a conventional romance, smoothly conceived and as smoothly executed, entitled An Algonquin maiden: a romance of the early days of Upper Canada (Montreal and Toronto); it was issued (as Adam himself modestly noted) “not only in Montreal, but in London and New York.” (DCB). John Hunter Duvar was a Scottish-born writer (the son of Agnes Strickland) who settled in P.E.I. ‘The reputation Hunter Duvar enjoys as a writer rests primarily on three of his larger works: The enamorado (Summerside, 1879), De Roberval, a drama (Saint John, 1888), which includes a poem called “The emigration of the fairies,” and Annals of the court of Oberon (London, [1895].' (DCB).
