| Abstract |
According to the publisher, Adam Thom (1802-1890) was, in the 1830s, one of the most influential spokespersons for the English-speaking community of Lower Canada. Under the pseudonym Camillus, Thom published in the Montreal Herald vitriolic letters addressed to the new governor in office, Lord Gosford, in which he expresses the opinions of a group of merchants, bankers, magistrates and ultra-conservative militiamen. The publisher points out that Thom opposed the leaders of the Patriot Party and their supporters, whom he described as "illiterate inhabitants" who ignored their true interests, while denouncing the collaboration of the conciliatory imperial authorities of Westminster. The publisher maintains that in a prophetic way, Adam Thom envisaged an armed intervention to assimilate or annihilate the "French enemies of the English race".
