NERVA, OR A COLLECTION OF PAPERS PUBLISHED IN THE Montreal Herald.... "Six papers, dated 1813-14, apparently related to affairs in Ireland about the time of Earl Fitzwilliam's administration, 1794-95; they are in reality a skillful satire on Sir George Prevost's administration in Canada, 1812-14. Gale, the son of an English colonial official, became a lawyer in 1808 and was a judge in the Court of King's bench in Montreal, 1834-38. During the political controversies of the period, he was active in expressing the viewpoint of the English minority of the province" - TPL.
