TOUR BETWEEN HARTFORD AND QtTEBEC. 269 General, recommending the French prisoners to his humanity, and, when informed that his wound was mortal, he expressed great satisfaction that he should not live to see the fall of Quebec, which ca- pitulated five days after. Montcalm's second in command, General Senezergus, also died of his wounds. Had Montcalm succeeded in preserving Canada from conquest, and, had Quebec been successfully defended by his valour, his fame would have been extolled, as much... as that of Wolfe now is. This victory was, in its consequences, of im- mense importance. It eventually terminated a long course of bloody wars ; it gave permanent peace and security to the English colonies, rescued their vast frontier from all the horrors of savage warfare, and even contributed largely to the general pacifi- cation of Europe.
