Doughty, Arthur G., "The Ursulines of Quebec, A review of Glimpses of the monastery", The Canadian Magazine of politics, science, art and literature, vol. 10, no. 4, (February) 1898, pp. 362-364.

Arthur G. Doughty 's review of the book, Glimpses of the monastery: scenes from the history of the Ursulines of Quebec during the two hundred years, 1639-1839, by a member of the community; second edition, revised, augmented and completed by reminiscences of the last fifty years, 1839-1889, Quebec: printed by L.J. Demers & Frère, 1897, appeared just months after the book was published in September 1897. The review appeared as a three page article in the February 1898 issue of The Canadian Magazine. A.G. Doughty commented that "To the student of Canadian history and of human affairs the work possesses a peculiar value, since it throws many side lights on the domestic life of familiar characters, and furnishes a key to passages in history " (p. 362). He concluded that the book would appeal to all, “as a record of noble women, toiling in a noble manner for a noble cause” (p. 364).
