{{Titre|Esquisse de la vie et de l'époque de l'honorable Louis-Joseph Papineau|[[Thomas Storrow Brown]]||}}
L'illustre patriote du Canada, Louis-Joseph Papineau, dont le nom restera à jamais proéminent tant que son histoire se poursuivra, est né dans la ville de Montréal, le 7 octobre, 1786, dans l'une de ces longues et basses maisons de pierre, à l'époque si communes, située sur ce qui était alors la petite rue St-James - maintenant les numéros 54 et 56 - près du sommet de la côte St-Laurent. Son père, Joseph Papineau, notaire public, descendant d'une famille qui a émigré il y a longtemps de Montigny, dans la province de Poitou (maintenant le département des Deux-Sèvres), France, était un homme de stature majestueuse, qui pendant plusieurs années avait honorablement servi au Parlement provincial, se faisant constamment remarquer comme un défenseur sérieux et de premier plan des mesures populaires contre les petites tyrannies du temps. Sa mère, de la famille de Cherrier de St-Denis, était la soeur de la mère de l'hon. D. B. Viger, et de la mère de monseigneur Lartigue, le premier évêque catholique de Montréal.

À TRADUIRE
The illustrious patriot of Canada, Louis Joseph Papineau, whose name will remain forever prominent while her history endures, was born in the city of Montreal, on the 7th October, 1786, in one of those long, low stone-houses, then so common, on what was then little St. James street - now Nos. 54 and 56 - near the top of the St. Lawrence Hill. His father, Joseph Papineau, notary public, descended from a family that had long before emigrated from Montigny, in the province of Poitou (now the Département des Deux-Sèvres), France, was a man of majestic stature, who had served with high honor many years in the Provincial Parliament, always conspicuous as a stern and foremost supporter of popular measures in opposition to the petty tyrannies of the time. His mother, of the Cherrier family of St. Denis, was sister to the mother of the Hon. D. B. Viger, and to the mother of Monseigneur Lartigue, the first Roman Catholic Bishop of Montreal.

4. With strong sight, never requiring glasses, Mr. Papineau kept by his bed-side a candle and matches, which he lighted to read when he wakened at night. The following list of books found upon the table at his death exemplifies the eclecticism and Catholicity of his thoughts and study:- "Life of Washington," "Life of Jefferson," "D'Alembert," "Thoughts of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius," "Dictionnaire des contemporains," "Dictionnaire généalogique," "The Holy Bible," "The Poetry of Horace," "La Flore Canadienne," "Imitation of Jesus Christ," "Histoire des Gaulois," "Works of Seneca," " the last numbers of the "Westminster," "Quarterly," and "Edinburgh," Reviews.
